It's a lazy afternoon
And the beetle bugs are zoomin'
And the tulip trees are bloomin'
And there's not another human in view 
But us two

It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reapin'
In the meadow cows are sleepin'
And the speckled trout stop leapin' up stream
As we dream

A fat pink cloud hangs over the hill 
Unfolding like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still 
You can hear the grass as it grows

It's a hazy afternoon
And I know a place that's quiet 
Except for daisies running riot
And there's no one passing by it to see 
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me
With me

Estaté, 
You bathe me in the glow of your caresses 
You turn my eager no to tender yesses 
You sweep away my sorrow with your sigh

Estaté
Oh, how your golden sunlight bends the willow 
Your blossoms send their perfume to my pillow 
Oh, who could know you half as well as I

I always feel you near me
In every song the morning breeze composes 
In all the tender wonder of the roses
Each time the setting sun smiles on the sea

Estaté
And when you sleep beneath a snowy cover 
I'll hold you in my heart just like a lover 
And wait until you come again to me

I always feel you near me
In every song the morning breeze composes 
In all the tender wonder of the roses
Each time the setting sun smiles on the sea

Estaté
And when you sleep beneath a snowy cover 
I'll hold you in my heart just like a lover 
And wait until you come again to me"
