Granada
Augustín Lara

Granada, tierra soñada por mí
Mi cantar se vuelve gitano cuando es para ti
Mi cantar, hecho de fantasía
Mi cantar, flor de melancolía
Que yo te vengo a dar

Granada, tierra ensangrentada en tardes de toros
Mujer que conserva el embrujo de los ojos moros
Te sueño rebelde gitana cubierta de flores
Y beso tu boca de grana
Jugosa manzana que me habla de amores

Granada, "manola" cantada en coplas preciosas
No tengo otra cosa que darte, que un ramo de rosas
De rosas de suave fragancia
Que le dieran marco a la virgen morena
Granada tu tierra está llena
De lindas mujeres de sangre y de sol


Granada, land of dreams for me
My song becomes gypsy-like when it is for you.
My song made of fantasy
My song, a melancholy flower
That I give to you.

Granada, blood-stained soil in bull fight afternoons
Woman who preserves the enchantment of Moorish eyes.
I dream of you rebellious, a gypsy covered with flowers
And I kiss your scarlet mouth
Juicy apple that speaks to me of love affairs

Granada manola sung in precious verses
I have nothing else to give you than a bouquet of roses
Of roses of sweet fragrance
That framed the dark virgin.
Granada your land is full
Of lovely women, of blood and sun
