This is another popular song of yesteryears sang by my late elder brother Jaime. This song, "Granada", is popularized by Mario Lanza in 1954. That is a Spanish version.
My brother sang the English version popularized by Frankie Laine. A part of that lyrics in English version is as follows:
Granada, I'm falling under your spell,
And if you could speak, what a fascinating tale you would tell.
Of an age the world has long forgotten,
Of an age that weaves a silent magic in Granada today.
This song I often heard from my elder brother, especially late in the afternoon. I did try singing it too but I couldn't reach the high notes.
He sang this in one of the amateur singing contests during our town fiesta before. Luckily he won.
Try to listen to this song, my friend.

It's so nice. It's very appreciative when the singer reached the high notes.
