Caballero
Arabesque Lyrics

You are a very noble man
You possess a high degree of honor, integrity and honesty.

Descended from a noble clan
Your lineage can be traced back to a family of aristocratic or high social standing.

You live by the rules of your family
You adhere to the values, traditions and customs of your family.

You can't marry me
We cannot get married due to societal, cultural or religious differences and expectations.

For I am just a humble girl
I am a simple, modest and unpretentious woman.

Not born to see the great big world
My birth and upbringing are limiting and did not provide me with opportunities to explore beyond my immediate surroundings.

Our love can't be more than a secret love
Our affection for each other must remain a clandestine and undisclosed matter, hidden away from the public eye.

For no one to see
In order to avoid disapproval, judgment or backlash from others who may not approve of our relationship.

Caballero, caballero
Gentleman, gentleman - a term of endearment and respect given to the man being referenced.

You're a famous man in town
Your reputation precedes you and you are well-known and respected in the community.

I must wait out of sight
I must remain hidden and out of view to keep our relationship a secret.

Till you kiss me tonight
Until we have a moment of intimacy and affection to strengthen our bond and connection.

So delightful, so delightful
You are a charming and attractive person with an appealing demeanor and personality.

If you ever let me down
If you fail to meet my expectations or disappoint me in any way.

I'll be crying and crying all night
I will be deeply saddened, hurt and upset if you do not meet my needs or live up to my standards.

But I'll be gone
But I will leave and end our relationship if it does not meet my expectations and desires.

Just like the evening sun
Like the sun setting at the end of the day, I will disappear and end our relationship.

In dreams I'm rich and you are poor
In my fantasies and imagination, I am wealthy and you are not.

And I am looking for amor
I am searching for love, affection and passion.

I pick you up in a street cafe
I meet you in an informal and casual setting, possibly outside of our usual social circles.

Where you spend your days
Where you typically go to pass the time, and where we can be alone together.

We're driving to my grand hotel
We are going to a luxurious and fancy place where we can indulge in our desires and live out our fantasies.

My heart's aflame, you're looking swell
I am deeply in love with you and I find you very attractive and appealing.

I won't set you free for you love must be
I will not let you go and I will do everything I can to keep you - because I believe that your love should only be for me.
