The moon above Maracaibo
Deigns to lower its great arm,
Sending broad white streaks
Across the mighty dark.
Around the lakeside chanting
Songs of the evening hum,
Couples dwell beneath her,
Drinking their watery ***
The moon above Maracaibo
Likes to glint in your glass,
Tasting a bit of that mixture,
Dabbling in perfect romance.
But when the day arrives
To turn the blue grass green,
It waits for pitch-black night
To make Maracaibo sheen.

The moon above Maracaibo
Deigns to lower its great arm,
Sending broad white streaks
Across the mighty dark.
Around the lakeside chanting
Songs of the evening hum,
Couples dwell beneath her,
Drinking their watery ***
The moon above Maracaibo
Likes to glint in your glass,
Tasting a bit of that mixture,
Dabbling in perfect romance.
But when the day arrives
To turn the blue grass green,
It waits for pitch-black night
To make Maracaibo sheen.
