Passionate pleas, tender replies
Two young lovers dance face to face
Rich as the night afro blue
Dancing for joy elegant whirl
To some secluded place
Rich as the night afro blue
They gently sway, then slip away
Rich as the night afro blue
Oh, shades of delight, cocoa hue
Elegant boy, beautiful girl
With undulating grace
Until it seems it's not a dream for two for you and me
Rich as the night afro blue
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
And my slumbering fantasy assumes reality
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Burst at the height slowly subside
Rich as the night afro blue
Lovers in flight upward they glide
Whispering trees, echo their sighs
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
