Valencia is the land of flowers

Of light and of love

Valencia your women all have

The color of roses

Valencia, on sensing like perfume

In your orchards the orange blossom

I'd like in the Valencian land

to find my loves

The white barraca, the orange blossom

The neat orchards of almond trees in bloom

The silver Turia and the turquoise sky

And the Valencian sun keep saying love

Valencia is the land of flowers

Of light and of love

Valencia your women all have

The color of roses

Valencia, on sensing like perfume

In your orchards the orange blossom

I'd like in the Valencian land

to find my loves

The white barraca, the orange blossom

The neat orchards of almond trees in bloom

The silver Turia and the turquoise sky

And the Valencian sun keep saying love

Valencia is the land of flowers

Of light and of love

Valencia your women all have

The color of roses

Valencia, on sensing like perfume

In your orchards the orange blossom

I'd like in the Valencian land

to find my loves

In the context of

Plácido Domingo's "Valencia" is a beautiful love letter to the Spanish city, painting it as a place of pure romance and natural beauty. He calls Valencia the "tierra de las flores" [land of flowers], "de la luz y del amor" [of light and love], immediately setting a bright, affectionate tone. It's clear he's completely smitten with the place and its people!

He especially admires the women of Valencia, saying they "tienen de las rosas el color" [all have the color of roses]. He even hopes to find his own true love there, wishing to "encontrar mis amores" [find my loves] among the orange blossoms and beautiful gardens. The song is full of lovely images like the "blanca barraca" [white house], the "flor de naranjo" [orange blossom], and the "cielo turquesa" [turquoise sky], all of which, along with the Valencian sun, are "diciendo amor" [saying love]. It really makes you want to visit!
