Down on the Plaza they are dancing,
Tapping pointed heels, clicking castanets,
Oh, Don Carlos, they are dancing
In the darkness deeper than your eyes.
Caballeros bowing to their partners,
Saucy faces nod, masking in their fans,
Holding their guitars, the young hidalgos
Pluck the lazy music on the strings.
Oh, Don Carlos, you are lying
Dead at Monterey, slain at Monterey
Down on the Plaza they are dancing
In the darkness deeper than your eyes.
(Beaulah May)
