Granada Songtext
von John Raitt

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 sunshine and flowers and song


And when day is done and the sun starts to set in Granada
I envy the blush of the snow-clad Sierra Nevada
For soon it will welcome the stars
While a thousand guitars play a soft habanera
Then moonlit Granada will live again
The glory of yesterday, romantic and gay

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 rosas de suave fragancia que le dieran
Mal cual a tu ven morena

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