Granada
Juan Diego Florez
Lyrics
Translation
Granada, tierra soñada por mi
Granada, land dreamed by me
Mi cantar se vuelve gitano
My singing becomes gypsy
Cuando és para ti
When it's for you
Mi cantar, hecho de fantasia
My singing, made of fantasy
Mi cantar, flor de melancolia
My singing, flower of melancholy
Que yo te vengo a dar
That I come to give you
Granada, tierra ensangrentada en tardes de toros
Granada, land bloodied in bullfight afternoons
Mujer que conserva el embrujo de los ojos moros
Woman who retains the enchantment of Moorish eyes
De sueño rebelde y gitana cubierta de flores
Of rebellious and gypsy dream covered in flowers
Y beso tu boca de grana jugosa manzana
And I kiss your mouth of crimson juicy apple
Que me habla de amores
That speaks to me of loves
Granada, Manola cantada en coplas preciosas
Granada, Manola sung in precious verses
No tengo otra cosa que darte que un ramo de rosas
I have nothing else to give you but a bouquet of roses
De sueño rebelde y gitana cubierta de flores
Of rebellious and gypsy dream covered in flowers
Y beso tu boca de grana jugosa manzana
And I kiss your mouth of crimson juicy apple
Que me habla de amores
That speaks to me of loves
Granada, Manola cantada en coplas preciosas
Granada, Manola sung in precious verses
No tengo otra cosa que darte que un ramo de rosas
I have nothing else to give you but a bouquet of roses
De rosas de suave fragancia
Of roses with soft fragrance
Que le dieran marco a la Virgen morena

Granada, tu tierra esta llena
Granada, your land is full
De lindas mujeres, de sangre y de sol
Of beautiful women, of blood, and of sun
