El Galeón Español
La Sonora de Tommy Rey
The Spanish Galleon
I was remembering by the sea,
On a warm afternoon of the sun,
The story my grandfather used to tell
About that old Spanish Galleon.
I can see it,
Impressively sailing,
Its main mast towards the sky,
With its brave captain at the helm
Intoxicated by salt and rum.
Chorus:
The Spanish Galleon arrived,
Leaving a wake in the sea,
The Spanish Galleon arrived,
Leaving a wake in the sea.
Its flag in the air,
Its distinguished figure,
Will conquer your world.
Its flag in the air,
Its distinguished figure,
Will conquer your world.
Many years have passed
Since that stormy day it docked,
And still it can be seen swaying
Its main mast compass towards the sky.
Now that my grandfather's voice
Is no longer in this warm sunny afternoon,
His heart can still be felt
Beating in the old Spanish Galleon.
The Spanish Galleon arrived...
