Barcelona

I went to Barcelona and looked for youFui a Barcelona y te busqué
Right in that same cafeJusto en aquel mismo café
Where one afternoon I askedDonde una tarde pregunté
Why so lonely?¿Por qué tan sola?

While Gaudí from a balconyMientras Gaudí desde un balcón
was watching usNos vigilaba
I had a little faith in myselfMe tuve un poquito de fe
Would you accept a coffee from me?¿Me aceptarías un café?

And in Catalan you answered me: "Asseu-te"Y en Catalán me contestaste: Asseu-te
When I saw you, my heart already adored youCuando te vi, mi corazón ya te adoraba
The same afternoon to CadaquésLa misma tarde a Cadaqués
And in Portlligat, just at ten o'clockY en Portlligat, justo a las diez
I kissed you, and the Mediterranean saw usYo te besaba, y nos veía el Mediterráneo

Like Siamese twins all month longComo siameses todo el mes
We based ourselves in CadaquésHicimos base en Cadaqués
I was Dalí and you, my beloved GalaYo era Dalí y tú, mi Gala enamorada

We leave everything in its placeDejamos todo en su lugar
To meet againPara volvernos a encontrar
And distance won over wonderY la distancia le ganó a la maravilla

Life never forgives youLa vida nunca te perdona
Today no one knows about you in Barcelona anymore.Hoy ya nadie sabe de ti en Barcelona
In BarcelonaEn Barcelona

Your letters still on my nightstandTus cartas aún en mi buró
And, although I never forgotY, aunque jamás se me olvidó
Youth makes you jump like crazyLa juventud te hace dar saltos como un loco
I thought there was more love after yoursPensé que había más amor después del tuyo

The Ramblas and the Spanish peopleLas ramblas y el pueblo español
I'll look for you in any alleyTe busco en cualquier callejón
And Picasso blue to keep you in memoryY azul Picasso pa' guardarte en la memoria

Like Siamese twins all month longComo siameses todo el mes
We based ourselves in CadaquésHicimos base en Cadaqués
I was Dalí and you, my beloved GalaYo era Dalí y tú, mi Gala enamorada

We leave everything in its placeDejamos todo en su lugar
To meet againPara volvernos a encontrar
And distance won over wonderY la distancia le ganó a la maravilla

Life never forgives youLa vida nunca te perdona
Today no one knows about you in Barcelona anymore.Hoy ya nadie sabe de ti en Barcelona
In Barcelona, heyEn Barcelona, ey
