Sevillanas de la vida
Estrella Morente
Life's Sevillanas
I fell in love, I fell in love, I fell in love... I fell in love?
I fell for your laughter, your hair, your face,
a landscape from the sky.
From the green of the fields,
the air, the dream,
the man I long for.
The dawn sang and a star shone on me,
it sang a great truth,
if you don’t kiss me, I’ll die.
I fell in love, I fell in love, I fell in love.
Loneliness, loneliness, loneliness... my loneliness.
Loneliness keeps me company
at night, your absence, it kills me and hurts me.
What we stole from time,
your kisses, my fear, the frost of January.
Loneliness taught me to love you over jealousy,
to chase your passion, to find refuge in my faith.
Loneliness, loneliness, loneliness.
You give, you give, you give... you give.
If I give you my sincere love,
my laughter, my icy lips.
I give you the purity of the air,
my blood, my desires,
my breath, my veil.
I give you the flowers of April,
what the ink writes for me,
I give you the voice of jasmine,
I give you a courtyard of trees.
You give, you give, you give.
Set me free, set me free, set me free... set me free.
Free me from the black, the dirty,
the dead, the fake, and the foolish.
And give me the sound of the fields of Cadiz,
the white and the blue of the sky.
Free me from the forgiveness of those who never felt,
from those who don’t see love,
from those who are liars.
Set me free, set me free, set me free.
