Lyrics and translation Connie Francis - Granada




Granada
Granada
Granada, tierra soñada por mi
Granada, the land I dream of,
Mi cantar se vuelve gitano
My song becomes gypsy-like,
Cuando es para ti
When it is for you.
Mi cantar hecho de fantasia
My song made of fantasy,
Mi cantar, flor de melancolia
My song, flower of melancholy,
Que you te vengo a dar
That I come to give you.
Granada,
Granada,
Tierra ensangrentada
Land stained with blood,
En tardes de toros
On bullfighting evenings.
Mujer que conserva el embrujo
Woman who preserves the spell,
De los ojos moros
Of Moorish eyes.
De sueño rebelde y gitana
Of rebellious and gypsy dreams,
Cubierta de flores
Covered with flowers,
Y beso tu boca de grana
And I kiss your mouth of scarlet,
Jugosa manzana
Juicy apple,
Que me habla de amores
That speaks to me of love.
Granada manola
Granada, manola,
Cantada en coplas preciosas
Sung in beautiful verses,
No tengo otra cosa que darte
I have nothing else to give you,
Que un ramo de rosas
Than a bouquet of roses.
De rosas de suave fragancia
Roses of delicate fragrance,
Que le dieran marco
That would frame,
A la virgen morena
The dark-skinned Virgin.
Granada
Granada,
Tu tierra está llena de lindas mujeres
Your land is filled with beautiful women,
De sangre y de sol
Of blood and sun.
