Hay Amores Que Duran La Vida
Manuel Carrasco
There Are Loves That Last a Lifetime
There are loves that last a lifetime
There are loves that are people, are places
That from the moment you meet them, they are a caress
And you can't and don't want to control them
There are loves that choose you and save you
They can be a corner, an alley
There are loves that end and are kept
There are loves where words are unnecessary
Oh, Seville, like the one I have for you
Oh-oh
Because this love has a sun painting a river
Holy Cross, the solitude
A dress with ruffles, a staircase where mercy waits
A bar full of people, a poet king, a Muslim past
A wax ball between the hands
A costalero and his costal
Because this love is so big that it doesn't fit in just one song
And if it fits in a stadium, I feel it as if we were two
Dancing Sevillanas to the beat of my heartbeat
I wait for you at the gate like when I was a kid
La-ra-ra-ra
La-ra-ra-ra
La-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra
La-ra-ra-ra
A love, that as it took shape
On Alfareria Street, sitting in Santa Ana
Caracoles in the cool, incense through the veins
Respect in the mantilla
There are loves that pierce the throat
That when you want to name them, they are a song
There are loves that stayed on my beach
There are loves that when they say my soul
Oh, Seville, my heart lights up
Because this love has a bridge and two shores
Some tangos in the three thousand
A sigh in the bell tower, I look at the sky when April comes
The star by San Jacinto, the three falls, his mother following behind
A friend who holds your words when you can't anymore
Because this love is so big that it doesn't fit in just one song
And if it fits in a stadium, I feel it as if we were two
Dancing Sevillanas to the beat of my heartbeat
I wait for you at the gate like when we were kids
La-ra-ra-ra
La-ra-ra-ra
La-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra
La-ra-ra-ra
There are loves that last a lifetime
There are loves
Seville, Seville, Seville
Seville, Seville, Seville
Seville, Seville, Seville
