El Rey Al-mutamid Dice Adios a Sevilla
Carlos Cano
The King Al-mutamid Says Goodbye to Sevilla
habibi in this uncertain hour
when my heart already says goodbye to this time, habibi
And Allah calls me in the silence
while the flight of vultures waiting is heard in the air.
Nobody cry for me,
if perhaps in memory some verses.
That I was a great lord
who had a beautiful kingdom next to a river.
Sevilla, Sevilla oh how far away.
Oh Sevilla, the only chain that I feel.
Chain, if I gave myself to you
have mercy on me! Chain habibi damma-ni damma habibi...
