Knight to d5, Mi Amor

Capablanca · sung from Black's side

Verse 1

Pawn to d5, then knight to d5 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Be7 5.e3 0-0 6.Nf3 Nbd7 7.Rc1 c6 8.Bd3 dxc4 9.Bxc4 Nd5

Capablanca showed me how to play

My bishop eyes his bishop on g5

My knight on d5 blocks his d-pawn's way

He grabs the space, I trade away

Chorus

Queen takes e7, knight takes c3 10.Bxe7 Qxe7 11.0-0 Nxc3

Pawn to e5, ahora soy libre 12.Rxc3 e5

Take on d4, knight to f6 13.Bb3 exd4 14.exd4 Nf6

His d-pawn is alone, that's my trick

Verse 2

Rook to e1, my queen to d6 15.Re1 Qd6

Knight to e5, my knight to d5 16.Ne5 Nd5

On d5 I sit, his d-pawn is fixed

Don't rush my bishop out to f5

Trade it down, the ending's mine

Shake his hand, tablas, that's fine

Chorus

Queen takes e7, knight takes c3 10.Bxe7 Qxe7 11.0-0 Nxc3

Pawn to e5, ahora soy libre 12.Rxc3 e5

Take on d4, knight to f6 13.Bb3 exd4 14.exd4 Nf6

His d-pawn is alone, that's my trick
