Marimar
By: Noah Eaton
9/15/02

Marimar, marimar
I strum this serenade with my Spanish guitar
I tread softly, sweep gently
Sending an acoustic soul through my whammy-bar
Barefoot on the sands of your desires
Lighting the stars like a cigar

There's a ghost of Ramon Montoya playing on the red roof
Dancing in leather sandals filling the night with classical romantic youth
Above where I draw a heart in the apricot sand
I feel the warm rain run down your hair
Taking me back to Maricastana
Swallowed in your tango
Rocking steady in loves tempo
My sweet Munequita...

We stroll, we stroll through the barrio
Livening up the Spanish Harlem
With bossa nova blues
And I felt, felt the ocean rising
You took my hand and sailed me away
Through the heart of the Banzai Pipeline
Tripping deep your precious lagoon

There's a ghost of Ramon Montoya playing on the red roof
Dancing in leather sandals filling the night with classical romantic youth
Above where I draw a heart in the apricot sand
I feel the warm rain run down your hair
Taking me back to Maricastana
Swallowed in your tango
Rocking steady in loves tempo
My sweet Munequita...

And the night came quickly
The habanero sun burning across the horizon
Where I held you down on the beachside
Suckling your lips like a fruity manzanilla
I stared into your eyes in a candlelit marisqueria
Overlooking the harbor over fish and mole
Wouldn't it feel so good to jump out the window
And be washed away to the paradise beyond our wildest dreams
Out from this marquesina...

On the riviera we stopped for the heladero
Shared a cone of ice cream at midnight with you
We picked up our toes and hopped together
Everyday is a jarabe tapatio when I hold your hand down the warm avenue...

There's a ghost of Ramon Montoya playing on the red roof
Dancing in leaher sandals filling the night with classical romantic youth
Above where I draw a heart in the apricot sand
I feel the warm rain run down your hair
Taking me back to Maricastana
Swallowed in your tango
Rocking steady in loves tempo
My sweet Munequita...

Marimar, marimar
I strum this serenade with my Spanish guitar
I tread softly, sweep gently
Sending an acoustic soul through my whammy-bar
Syncopating good times from my lungs
Sharing private concerts with you underneath the flamenco stars...


"You'll find something that's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20

Sophisticated!
I went and got my interpreter. She read it and agreed, "Sophisticated!"
You are great!
Love, BArb
