Madrid

Madrid capital of Spain
what a beautiful town
with its street of carts
and with its Puerta del Sol.

Long live the Mesón de Paredes
with its charm and its salt
and its famous bullfighters
so elegantly dressed
through the Puerta de Alcalá.

How beautiful is Calle de la Montera
with its ribbon and hawthorn shops
how beautiful is Plaza de Antón Martín
where the water vendors sell water with anise.

Oh! What a great Madrid
I have never seen anything like it.

Oh! What a gentleman Madrid
Oh! How beautiful
Oh! How beautiful Madrid.

At the Cibeles fountain
to the bulls come and go
and they are greeted by the locals
and also by their majesty.

In their bullfights
Tato and Juan Leon shine
and in the Café del Brillante
amidst songs and wine
the heart is stirred.

How beautiful is Plaza de la Armería
where the infantry parades
how beautiful is Calle del Arenal
where the ladies go in merlinas towards the Royal Palace.

Oh! What a great Madrid
I have never seen anything like it.

Oh! What a gentleman Madrid
Oh! How beautiful
Oh! How beautiful Madrid.
