Seville

Sevilla

The Guadalquivir RiverEl río Guadalquivir
fell in love with your silhouettese enamoró de tu estampa
Split your soul in twoPartió tu alma en dos
Like it was a daggerComo si fuera una daga

Seville of royal bloodSevilla de sangre real
Seville of gypsy bloodSevilla de sangre gitana
She's a dark-haired womanEs una mujer morena
With the air of a loverCon aires de enamorada

Seville is dying of loveSevilla se muere de amor
Doesn't want to die in silenceNo quiere morir callada
Wants to die with the sunQuiere morir con el sol
Shining on her faceIluminando su cara

Her saints in processionSus santos en procesión
Across the Triana bridgePor el puente de triana
Want to cry with herQuieren llorar con ella
To the sound of gypsy solearespor soleares gitanas

From a jasmine balconyDesde un balcón de jazmín
Or a barred windowO una ventana de rejas
Seville tells them her lifeSevilla les cuenta su vida
While singing saetasmientras les canta saetas

Seville is dying of loveSevilla se muere de amor
And doesn't want to die in silenceY no quiere morir callada
Wants to die with the sunQuiere morir con el sol
Shining on her faceiluminando su cara

The Virgin of HopeLa virgen de la esperanza
Wants to dress in mourningQuiere vestirse de luto
And in her towers the bellsY en sus torres las campanas
Weep her silent songLloran su canto mudo

Poets and singersPoetas y cantaores
With wide-brimmed hatsCon sombreros de ala ancha
Know she suffers for loveSaben que sufre de amores
That's why they sing to SevillePor eso a Sevilla cantan

Seville is dying of loveSevilla se muere de amor
Doesn't want to die in silenceNo quiere morir callada
Wants to die with the sunQuiere morir con el sol
Shining on her faceiluminando su cara
