Peteneras de Sierra Morena
Carlos Cano
Peteneras of Sierra Morena
Whoever said Sierra Morena knew how to name you well,
They named it with the color of men's desire.
Land of my heart!
They named it with the color of men's desire.
Whoever said Sierra Moreno knew us so well,
They named it so they would say: 'There goes a group.'
Land of my rebellion! They named it so they would say:
'There goes a group.'
There goes a group being chased by the light of day.
Whoever said Sierra Morena
spoke the language so well
spoken by those we sent
from emperors to Rome.
Land for an emperor!
Spoken by those we sent
from emperors to Rome.
Whoever said Sierra Morena baptized so well
gave it the name it has to the Sierra de Granada.
Land where a Moor wept!
They gave it the name it has to the Sierra de Granada.
Sierra Nevada, where a Moor wept
who lost his soul.
