Lyrics

Granada, I'm falling under your spell
And if you could speak, what a fascinating tale you would tell
Of an age the world has long forgotten
Of an age that weaves a silent magic in granada today
The dawn in the sky greets the day with a sigh for granada
For she can remember the splendor that once was granada
It still can be found in the hills all around as I wander along
Entranced by the beauty before me
Entranced by a land full of flowers and song
When day is done and the sun touch the sea in granada
I envy the blush of the snow-clad tierra novada
Soon it will welcome the stars
While a thousand guitars play a soft carbinera
Then moonlit granada will live again
The glory of yesterday, romantic and gay
(Musical interlude)
And soon it will welcome the stars
While a thousand guitars play a soft carbinera
Then moonlit granada will live again
The glory of yesterday, romantic, gay granada

And these are the spanish lyrics as sung by placido domingo:

Granada, tierra soñada por mi
Mi cantar se vuelve gitano cuando es para ti
Mi cantar, hecho de fantasia
Mi cantar, flor de melancolia
Que yo te vengo a dar

Granada, manola cantada en coplas preciosas
No tengo otra cosa que darte que un ramo de rosas
De sueño rebelde y gitano cubierta de flores
Y beso tu boca de grana jugosa manzana
Que me habla de amores

Granada, tierra ensangrentada en tardes de toros
Mujer que conserva el embrujo de tus ojos moros
De rosas de suave fragancia
Que le dieran marco a la virgen morena

Granada, tu tierra esta llena
De lindas mujeres, de sangre y de sol

De rosas de suave fragancia
Que le dieran marco a la virgen morena
Granada, tu tierra esta llena
De lindas mujeres, de sangre y de sol
