Suspiros de España

God wanted, with his power
to melt four little rays of sun
and make a woman with them.

And fulfilling his will
I was born in a garden of Spain
like the flower in the rosebush.

Glorious land of my love
blessed land of perfume and passion
Spain in full bloom at your feet
a heart sighs.

Oh, my mortal sorrow
why do I leave you, Spain
why do they tear me from my rosebush.

I want to return to be
the light of that little ray of sun
made woman
by God's will.

Oh, my mother
oh, if only
I could be the light of day
and at dawn
reborn over Spain.

My thoughts
have adorned
the sky
with my kisses
and over Spain
like dewdrops
I let them fall.

In my heart
I look at you, Spain
and the echo will carry from my song
to Spain in a sigh.
