La Historia De Una Amapola

The story of a poppy
that escaped from among the wheat
that escaped from among the wheat
the story of one that escaped from among the wheat
the story of a poppy
that escaped from among the wheat

That ESCAPED from among the wheat
they say an almond tree SAW her
they say an olive tree SAW her
they say the moon SAW her
far from the road.

And on Monday morning
it's the Monday of the crowd
they say she CAME DOWN from the sky
with the Virgin of El Rocío
carressing her hair

The story of a shepherdess
who LEFT her farmhouse
who LEFT her farmhouse
the story of a shepherdess
who LEFT her farmhouse
the story of a shepherdess
who LEFT her farmhouse

Who LEFT her farmhouse
they say she SAW the one who escaped from among the wheat
with whom she was playing
the divine little shepherd

And when uncovering her face
with the lights of dawn
the crowd SCREAMED
we have a shepherdess
who is the Virgin of El Rocío

The story of a dove
that CAME DOWN from the heavens
that CAME DOWN from the heavens
the story of a dove
that CAME DOWN from the heavens
the story of a dove
that CAME DOWN from the heavens

That CAME DOWN from the heavens
they say a star SAW her
they say a bright star SAW her
they say the night SAW her
drinking from a stream

And on the pilgrimage Monday
when the heat is already intense
they SAW her in the morning
on top of the cart
of the Triana brotherhood

The story of a man from Almonte
who WENT OUT hunting
who WENT OUT hunting
the story of a man from Almonte
who WENT OUT hunting
the story of a man from Almonte
who WENT OUT hunting

Who WENT OUT hunting
they say he SAW a shepherdess
even more beautiful
than the lily flower
and the light of the same day

Wanting to know who she was
he ASKED and FELT a voice
that left him speechless and cold
I am the mother of God
and the Virgin of El Rocío.
