Verse 1:
Theyâre playing our song, Margarita.
Dance it this last time with me.
It wonât be long, Margarita â
soon Iâll be overseas.
Let me know that youâll care
when Iâve gone over there.
Theyâre playing our song, Margarita.
Dance it this last time with me.
Verse 2 (same):
Kiss me again, Margarita.
Give me a memory of you.
They say in France, Margarita,
one more push, weâll be through.
Yes, Iâll write, but where from?
All theyâll say will be âThe Somme.â
Kiss me again, Margarita.
Give me a memory of you.
Chorus:
Itâs a new world, Margarita,
that weâll build when itâs through.
In our new world, Margarita,
weâll be wed, me and you.
Verse 3:
My old great aunt Margarita
(sheâd been blind thirty years)
would tell us of young Margarita,
of her man and her tears.
She would say, âHe was tall,
thatâs his picture on the wall.â
My old great aunt Margarita,
sheâd been blind thirty years,
verse 4:
and she would ask, âIs he smiling?â
I would stare at the frame,
but the sun was there shining
through her window again.
Where the sun always shone
he had faded and gone.
When she would ask, âIs he smiling?â
I would say, âHeâs the sameâ
Chorus:
Itâs a new world, Margarita,
that weâll build when itâs through.
In our new world, Margarita,
weâll be wed, me and you.
