En Tierra Extraña

[Copla / Pasodoble][Copla / Pasodoble]

I'M GOING TO TELL YOUVOY A CONTARLES A USTEDES
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MELO QUE A MI ME HA SUCEDIDO
WHAT IS THE DEEPEST EMOTIONQUE ES LA EMOCION MAS PROFUNDA
WHAT IN MY LIFE I HAVE FELTQUE EN MI VIDA YO HE SENTIDO

IT WAS IN NEW YORKFUE EN NUEVA YORK
A CHRISTMAS EVEUNA NOCHEBUENA
FOR ME TO PREPARE A DINNERQUE YO PREPARE UNA CENA
TO INVITE MY COUNTRIESPA' INVITAR A MIS PAISANOS
AND AT THE MEETINGY EN LA REUNION
ALL OF SPANISHTODA DE ESPAÑOLES
BETWEEN LIVES AND BETWEEN OLESENTRE VIVAS Y ENTRE OLES
FOR SPAIN IT WAS PROVIDEDPOR ESPAÑA SE BRINDO

AND HOW THEY DON'T DRINK THERE BECAUSE OF THE "DRY LAW"Y COMO ALLI NO BEBEN POR LA "LEY SECA"
AND ONLY TO THOSE WHO ARE SICK DO THEY SEND WINEY SOLO AL QUE ESTA ENFERMO DESPACHAN VINO
I PAID A RECIPE AT THE PRICE OF GOLDYO PAGUE A PRECIO DE ORO UNA RECETA
AND BUY SPANISH WINE AT THE PHARMACYY COMPRE EN LA FARMACIA VINO ESPAÑOL
SPANISH WINE!, SPANISH WINE!¡VINO ESPAÑOL!, ¡VINO ESPAÑOL!

THE WINE OF OUR LANDEL VINO DE NUESTRA TIERRA
WE DRINK IN A STRANGE LANDBEBIMOS EN TIERRA EXTRAÑA
HOW WELL THIS WINE TASTES¡QUE BIEN QUE SABE ESTE VINO
WHEN YOU DRINK AWAY FROM SPAIN!CUANDO SE BEBE LEJOS DE ESPAÑA!
FOR IT WE ALL PROVIDEPOR ELLA BRINDAMOS TODOS
AND IT WAS THE END OF THAT DINNERY FUE EL FIN DE AQUELLA CENA
CHRISTMAS EVE, BETTERLA NOCHEBUENA, MAS BUENA
WHAT A SPANISH COULD DREAMQUE SOÑAR PUDO UN ESPAÑOL

BUT, SUDDENLY, IT WAS HEARDMAS, DE PRONTO, SE ESCUCHO
A SONAR GRAMOPHONEUN GRAMOFONO SONAR
"SHUT UP EVERYONE", I SAID"CALLAR TODOS", DIJE YO
AND A DOUBLE PASS WAS HEARDY UN PASODOBLE SE OYO
THAT MADE US SIGHQUE NOS HIZO SUSPIRAR
JOY CEASESCESO LA ALEGRIA
EVERYONE WAS ALREADY SILENTYA TODOS CALLABAN
NOBODY LAUGHED ANYMOREYA NADIE REIA
THAT EVERYONE WAS CRYINGQUE TODOS LLORABAN
LISTENING TO THIS MUSICOYENDO ESTA MUSICA
THERE, IN A STRANGE LANDALLA, EN TIERRA EXTRAÑA
THEY WERE OUR SIGHSERAN NUESTROS SUSPIROS
"SIGHES OF SPAIN""SUSPIROS DE ESPAÑA"
