Lyrics
  • Your life’s melody, heart’s harmony, you’re my symphony of love.
  • words are so empty seeming, My Patria, you taught me love, and that all angels don’t stay above
  • you put a song in my dreaming. Love is so sweet, life so complete
  • If only they are together, they will find the same sweet tune. Verse: You brought to me love’s melody
  • you’re night and you’re day to me. Refrain: In step with the same sweet measure, all the time, Our lives in their round of pleasure meet in a perfect rhyme, Our hearts care not what the weather, night or noon
  • You’re my heart’s bouquet, life glad and gay
  • Patria Verse: You came to me so tenderly, our hearts both cried for a mating. Wand’ring along, met in a song, found no excuse for waiting. Just as the perfume ‘round a flow’r, your presence clings and fills ev’ry hour
