Lyrics: Marguerita
Who makes my heart beat like thunder?
Who makes my temperature rise?
Who makes me tremble with wonderful rapture
With one burning glance, from her eyesMarguerita…
Once I was free as a gypsy
A creature too wild to tame
Then suddenly I saw, Marguerita
And I was caught, like a moth in the flameMarguerita…is her name
Marguerita…
Her lips have made me her prisoner
A slave to her every command
She captivates me, and intoxicates me
With one little touch of her handMarguerita….
Sweet…Marguerita…sweet, sweet Marguerita….
