San Fernando
Roy Orbison · Orbison 1955-1965 [1996]
Es war vunderbar, dort vor einem jahr
Tausend wunder, dort im hafen sind die grunde
Das ich bald, nach suden fahr
San Fernando, San Fernando
Ich Komm weider, wenn die rosen wieder bluhn
San Fernando, gruss Maria
Gruss die sterne und die liebesmelodien
Weit im suden, leigt ein hafen
Der voll Zauber ist, den man nei verygisst
Doch das schonste, doch im hafen
Sind die lippen, die mich tausendmal gekusst
San Fernando, San Fernando
Ich Komm weider, wenn die rosen wieder bluhn
San Fernando, gruss Maria
Gruss die sterne und die liebesmelodien
San Fernando
