Amapola
Here’s an originally Spanish song that, to my surprise, was written already in 1924.
Playing it, I can’t help thinking of the omnipresent singer (in the beginning of the 1930s), Chick Bullock, who made a fine recording of it with some great jazzmen present. Here’s my “take” and the lyrics (from Chick):
Amapola, my pretty little poppy
You’re like that lovely flower so sweet and heavenly
Since I found you, my heart is wrapped around you
And loving you it seems to beat a rhapsody
Amapola, the pretty little poppy
Must copy it’s endearing charm from you
Amapola, Amapola
How I long to hear you say “I love you”
