With a guitar
And a couple of sticks
El pasodoble Flamenco and Spanish was born.
And as the story tells
That at his baptism there were
The sun and the moon and the whole Albaicín.
Its cradle was Spain, its father a christian,
Its mother a queen of gypsy tribe
And a wizard living in the valley says that
Its godfather was the very Undivé.
And that's why el pasodoble is Flamenco and so Spanish
And that's why I carry it in my heart.
I love you, Pasodoble
Because you've got in your stature the best
Of the whole world;
I love you, Pasodoble
Because you carry in your features the courage
Of the bullfighters;
I love you, Pasodoble
Because when being abroad
You bring me the remembrance,
You bring me the remembrance
Of that mother I have in Spain.
In a morning
Of my Andalusia
My good pasodoble wanted to marry
La sevillana,
La bulería?,
La petenera and la soleá.
The four songs dressed in white
Singing and dancing went away with him
And when at the moon the all four arived,
The king of poetry gave them his love;
And in the high over the clouds he built a palace
Where he lives more cheerful than the very pharaoh.
I love you, Pasodoble
Because you've got in your stature the best
Of the whole world;
I love you, Pasodoble
Because you carry in your features the courage
Of the bullfighters;
I love you, Pasodoble
Because when being abroad
You bring me the remembrance,
You bring me the remembrance
Of that mother I have in Spain.
