Enamorao de La Giralda

In love with La Giralda

Enamorao de La Giralda

I am crazy in loveYo estoy loco enamorado
With a woman from SevilleDe una mujer de Sevilla
My woman is very gypsyMi mujer es muy gitana
And in April she wears a mantillaY en abril va de mantilla

She has taken away my sensesMe tiene quitão el sentío
From how much I love herDe lo mucho que la quiero
My woman is a MoorMi mujer es una mora
Who is close to heavenQue está cerquita del cielo

What godmother would I haveQué madrina tendría yo
If I married herSi me casara con ella
It would be the Golden TowerSería la Torre del oro
Which is the second most beautifulQue es la segunda más bella

As godfather I would have a riverPor padrino tendría un río
And its waters would be calmY sus aguas serían calmas
I would go on a honeymoonMe iría de luna de miel
To my neighborhood of TrianaA mi barrio de Triana

She has something differentTiene algo diferente
Raises her bells to the skyAlza al vuelo sus campanas
My woman is the tallestMi mujer es la más alta
The most beautiful of Seville and TrianaLa más guapa de Sevilla y de Triana
My woman is La GiraldaMi mujer es la Giralda

She carries Arabia in her eyesLleva la Arabia en sus ojos
And the Giraldillo watches over herY el Giraldillo la vela
And she is filled with orange blossomsY se colma de azahares
Scented with incense and waxPerfumá de incienso y cera

She sheds tears from the skySueltas lágrimas del cielo
Unable to contain themSin poderlas contener
When she sees from afarCuando ve venir de lejos
The Lord of Great Power comingAl señor del Gran Poder

She is a princess of AprilElla es princesa de abril
She looks out at the MaestranzaSe asoma a la Maestranza
She falls in love with MoranteSe enamora de Morante
When she sees him make a cape passAl verle un lance de capa

They say I have gone crazyDicen que me he vuelto loco
Because I love my GiraldaPorque quiero a mi Giralda
They say love is blindCuentan que el amor es ciego
And its bells blind meY me ciegan sus campanas
