Granada [English translation]

Granada,

city of sun and flowers.

My song is the last goodbye

of a nostalgic heart.

I will sing

my gypsy song.

I will sing

and, with tears,

I will again kiss the earth.

Farewell, Granada,

city of a thousand bullfighters.

A flash of sword

lights you up to the sound of boleros.

Farewell, mantillas,

vermilion lips' smiles.

Farewell, dreamy guitars,

lovers’ sighs,

bullfights and passionate

songs.

Farewell, Granada,

farewell, city of the gypsies.

Wherever I might go

you always remain in my heart.

Dark haired madonna1

soothe the pang

of this gypsy heart of mine.

Farewell, romantic Granada,

city of light, blood and love.

Dark haired madonna

soothe the pang

of this gypsy heart of mine.

Farewell, romantic Granada,

city of light, blood and love.
