"Juanita" ("Nita Juanita") is a love song variously subtitled "A Spanish Ballad", "A Song of Spain", and others. "Juanita" was first published in 1855, attributed to Mrs. Norton, with music arranged by T. G. May. The opening four-bar phrase of the song is taken from Handel's aria ''Lascia ch'io pianga'' from the opera ''Rinaldo'', although the subsequent melody differs from that of the aria. The name of the song is derived from the refrains: *(First) :''Nita! Juanita! Ask thy soul if we should part!'' :''Nita! Juanita! Lean thou on my heart.''〔Norton, "Juanita"〕 *(Second) :''Nita! Juanita! Let me linger by thy side!'' :''Nita! Juanita! Be my own fair bride!''〔 "Juanita" appears in numerous songbooks and has been recorded many times. ==References== Notes Bibliography *Metropolitan Quartette (1909). ("Juanita" mp3 ).
