A boy found a dream
upon a distant shore
A maid with a way
of whispering "Si, senor."
Each night
while guitars would softly play
The two seemed to dance
'round the words that he'd say'
Amapola, my pretty little poppy
You're like that lovely flower
so sweet and heavenly
Since I found you
my heart is wrapped around you
And loving you
it seems to be a rhapsody
Amapola, the pretty little poppy
Must copy its endearing
charm from you
Amapola, Amapola
How I long to hear you say
"I love you."
