Being Spanish
Being Spanish is not just a flag
Spain is much more than a border
The nation is more than just one language
And it saddens me that they see it differently
Being Spanish is more than just a name
Spain is not just one king, one man
I feel they see it differently
Because everything else is just politics
Dancing at fairs and parties
Being Spanish is taking a nap
Getting a tapa when I ask for a beer
Being a world champion with Iniesta's goal
Falling in love with the Mediterranean with Serrat
Not getting mad at seeing a sign in Catalan
Learning some words in Basque
Going to Galicia and believing in meigas' stories
Getting goosebumps
When listening to a well-sung copla or saeta
Being amazed at how beautiful Ceuta is
Or feeling part of Africa as ours
Spanish is the potato omelette
Mom's croquettes
And the Valencian paella
That's feeling Spanish in life
And everything else is just politics
Being Spanish is not just a flag
Spain is much more than a border
The nation is more than just one language
And it saddens me that they see it differently
Being Spanish is more than just a name
Spain is not just one king, one man
I feel they see it differently
Because everything else is just politics
Poverty took me out of Romania, my nation
But nothing can take it out of my heart
I'm Romanian and I don't want to be hated but
Being Spanish is not just an ID or a NIE
It's burning your soul to see Doñana burn
Protesting when unemployment rises in Spain
I suffered when I saw the Prestige disaster
I suffered with the Madrid bombings
It's trembling when all of Lorca trembled
Crying if they say Spain is not Barcelona
I suffer when I hear about abuse towards women
And I suffer with families' evictions damn
I suffer when I read about the hunger of '36
And if this is not being Spanish, tell me what is
It saddens me that they see it differently
Because everything else is just politics
Being Spanish is not just a flag
Spain is much more than a border
The nation is more than just one language
And it saddens me that they see it differently
Being Spanish is more than just a name
Spain is not just one king, one man
I feel they see it differently
Because everything else is just politics
Wake up Romanian from the dream of dying
In which barbarians plunged you to oppress
It's now or never, let's forge a destiny
Before which cruel enemies bow
Wake up Spanish from the dream of dying
In which the vile tyrant barbarian plunged you
Now is the time, let's forge a destiny
Immigrants are not the enemies
Being Spanish is not just a flag
Spain is much more than a border
The nation is more than just one language
And it saddens me that they see it differently
Being Spanish is more than just a name
Spain is not just one king, one man
I feel they see it differently
Because everything else is just politics
