A Barcelona

Even though I wasn't born in your cradle
you are my adoptive mother
the one who taught me about life
the one who taught me to walk
Emigrant from a land
called Andalusia
that childhood sweetheart
that I had to leave behind
You opened your arms wide
and under your protection I became a man
today I sing to you with affection
what comes from my heart
Barcelona I love you
Barcelona I adore you
I say it with my voice

Chorus

Barcelona is good, it's like a woman
and I will always love her
Barcelona has such beautiful things
like Guëll Park
If its sea embraces you, surely its scent
will be the love of your life
Barcelona is so pretty
a woman that awakens a healthy envy

Even though you didn't give birth to me
you are blood of my blood
you are the light that guides me
when loneliness looms
And you have given me so many things
that I couldn't forget you
I strive to take care of you
like a rose in my garden
You opened your arms wide
and under your protection I became a man
today I sing to you with affection
what comes from my heart
Barcelona I love you
Barcelona I adore you
I say it with my voice
