Castillo de Arena

It was like the flowers of May
The most beautiful in my town, I would say
But as the years went by
Like a goddess, from girl to woman she became

And the lovers rained down
Because she was very beautiful, very pretty
Some with good intentions
Others with deceit and lies
And they caused her one sorrow after another
And that good little doll saw how
Her golden dream turned into pain

And in the sky a star cried
Perhaps for her, seeing how
My beautiful queen, her childish sand castle
Quickly crumbled
And crying, I found her
And between my arms she cried and cried
She didn't want to believe that it was my love
And I do love her, I do love her
With all my soul

Today she doesn't want to have illusions
That sorrow shattered her heart
She doesn't believe in men's words
Even if she doesn't want to, her soul hardened

Saint Joseph of Ure, I beg you by God
You who are the patron of her land
Tell her that I am a good man
That I would give my life for her
Tell her that I keep here in my chest
A feeling that will make her dream
Golden and that gallant she has yearned for
Turn into reality
That life has not ended
That here is a man
Who wants to caress her lips
And give back her smile, joy, and happiness

Let her fall in love as I am
That the past is already over
That she loves me a lot to give her love
That I do love her, I do love her
With all my soul.
