Rosalitia, my Rosalitia, are you waiting for me
Just as you promised me you would
Rosalitia, senorita Rosalitia, I'd fly back tonight
To you like a seagull if I could
The ship that I was stationed on docked on the shores of Spain
The night I met Rosalitia I knew my heart would never be the same
Before the night was over she promised she would wait for me
We danced until the break of dawn
I held her close and kissed her tenderly
Rosalitia, my Rosalitia, are you waiting for me
Just as you promised me you would
Rosalitia, senorita Rosalitia, I'd fly back tonight
To you like a seagull if I could
And then too soon the time had come for us to say goodbye
I left her on the shores of Spain
She waved until the ship was out of sight
The sweet caresses that we shared within my lonely heart still burn
Longing for the time to come when I can say, my love, I have returned
Rosalitia, my Rosalitia, are you waiting for me
Just as you promised me you would
Rosalitia, senorita Rosalitia, I'd fly back tonight
To you like a seagull if I could
