En Tierra Extraña

In a strange land

[Copla / Pasodoble]

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME
WHAT IS THE DEEPEST EMOTION
WHAT IN MY LIFE I HAVE FELT

IT WAS IN NEW YORK
A CHRISTMAS EVE
FOR ME TO PREPARE A DINNER
TO INVITE MY COUNTRIES
AND AT THE MEETING
ALL OF SPANISH
BETWEEN LIVES AND BETWEEN OLES
FOR SPAIN IT WAS PROVIDED

AND HOW THEY DON'T DRINK THERE BECAUSE OF THE "DRY LAW"
AND ONLY TO THOSE WHO ARE SICK DO THEY SEND WINE
I PAID A RECIPE AT THE PRICE OF GOLD
AND BUY SPANISH WINE AT THE PHARMACY
SPANISH WINE!, SPANISH WINE!

THE WINE OF OUR LAND
WE DRINK IN A STRANGE LAND
HOW WELL THIS WINE TASTES
WHEN YOU DRINK AWAY FROM SPAIN!
FOR IT WE ALL PROVIDE
AND IT WAS THE END OF THAT DINNER
CHRISTMAS EVE, BETTER
WHAT A SPANISH COULD DREAM

BUT, SUDDENLY, IT WAS HEARD
A SONAR GRAMOPHONE
"SHUT UP EVERYONE", I SAID
AND A DOUBLE PASS WAS HEARD
THAT MADE US SIGH
JOY CEASES
EVERYONE WAS ALREADY SILENT
NOBODY LAUGHED ANYMORE
THAT EVERYONE WAS CRYING
LISTENING TO THIS MUSIC
THERE, IN A STRANGE LAND
THEY WERE OUR SIGHS
"SIGHES OF SPAIN"
