Song # 1
Luis A. Estable 1958 (Oriente, Cuba)
When she does dance when the night falls
And sings her songs of faithful love,
A great delight upon me falls
As if I were in heaven above.
And then I say with voice of child,
" Her dance and song, what a great joy!"
When she does dance those dances pretty
And sings her songs with much delight,
I say aloud, "Yes, charming Mary,
What glorious thing did give you birth?"
And then I shed some tears, my crying.
Mary's divine! I'm not here lying!"
