España Cañi

Hey, listen to my song
I set it free for you
For you, Spain under the Andalusian sun
Cradle of the gypsy race
Where you drink to forget
And be happy

I'm a gypsy from Granada
Born in the Albaicín
A lively neighborhood
As white as a jasmine flower
I charm a woman
A gypsy just like me
Beautiful for love
Dark-skinned and colorful
I can tell the taste
Of Jerez wine

Clapping to the beat
The bull of Mirabrás
And the singing of a calé
Through zambra and soleá
You don’t know how much I love you
Spain of my soul
If they take me away from you, I’ll die
For I live on your joy

I’m a gypsy because that’s how God made me
My ruby is the light of my love
Oh yes, look, look, look at me
I don’t know what to do for your pretty eyes
My queen has coral lips
That I’d love to kiss day and night
