Liner Notes

#latin #bolero
Dropped in for a listen to this cool little thing by Russ and was instantly reminded of a number called "Abondonado" by the Iguanas that I've always loved, so I asked him if we might team up and try to do something along those lines. Not sure what has emerged is exactly what either of us initially had in mind, but it was a nice change of pace for me and hopefully doesn't stray too far from his intent. Thanks, Russ, for letting me play with it.

Lyrics

Tangled Bolero (Havana Moon)
Music by Russ Kalen & Jeff Walker
Lyrics by Jeff Walker

Impossible as it may seem
I can feel your heartbeat
Across a crowded room
So take my hand
Dance with me tonight
Beneath the warm Havana moon

Guitars played by trovadores
Make the poincianas sway
Please let me be
Your favorite memory
Of warm nights on your Cuban holiday

So now we stroll along the sand
Won’t you let me hold you
Or maybe it’s too soon
A falling star
And you confess your wish
A kiss beneath the warm Havana moon

The next time you hear the bolero
Smell the butterfly jasmine in bloom
Remember me
And our midnight dance
Beneath the warm Havana moon
