Te Canto Esta Sevillana
Rafael del Estad
I Sing You This Sevillana
I sing you this Sevillana
To tell you that I love you.
To tell you that I love you
I sing you this Sevillana,
To tell you that I love you,
Because then face to face
I dare not say it.
I dare not say it,
A lump forms in my throat
My senses cloud,
When I look into your eyes
And you look into mine.
And I can't find an explanation
Why the words don't come out,
I can't find an explanation,
That the words don't come out
When the heart speaks.
If you already know that I love you,
Dance Sevillanas for me.
Dance Sevillanas for me
If you already know that I love you.
Dance Sevillanas for me,
Let me delight in your body
And in your gypsy face.
And in your gypsy face
My illusion is thinking
That you're dancing with me
And I'm touching the ribbon
You wear on your dress.
And I can't find an explanation
Why the words don't come out,
I can't find an explanation
That the words don't come out
When the heart speaks.
I'm dancing with you
And I dare not look at you,
And I dare not look at you
I'm dancing with you,
And I dare not look at you
Because if I look at your face
I feel like hugging you.
I feel like hugging you
And these feelings of mine
I keep them well hidden,
I want people to think
That I'm not in love.
And I can't find an explanation
Why the words don't come out,
I can't find an explanation
That the words don't come out
When the heart speaks.
To the rhythm of this Sevillana
That I'm singing by your side,
That I'm singing by your side
To the rhythm of this Sevillana
That I'm singing by your side,
I'm confessing things to you
That a man wouldn't say.
That a man wouldn't say
With words from his mouth,
But I tell you them
Because I've had four drinks
And wine is a good friend.
And I can't find an explanation
Why the words don't come out,
I can't find an explanation
That the words don't come out
When the heart speaks.
