La Rosa Y El Viento Lyrics in English Rocio Jurado
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Rosa Y El Viento by Rocio Jurado from Spanish to English.
En la Alhambra habia una rosa
In the Alhambra there was a rose
Mas bonita que ninguna
More beautiful than any
La blancura de la fuente
The whiteness of the fountain
Envidiaba su blancura
She envied his whiteness
De noche, cuando la Alhambra
At night, when the Alhambra
Se iba vistiendo de luna
She was dressing as the moon
Bajaba el viento a Granada
The wind went down to Granada
En busca de su hermosura
In search of her beauty
La rosa se distraia
The rose was distracted
Oyendo los surtidores
Listening to the pumps
Mientras el viento gemia
While the wind moaned
De amor en los miradores
Of love in the viewpoints
Ay, rosa de la Alhambra
Oh, rose of the Alhambra
Rosa de la moreria!
Moreria rose!
Hare lo que tu me mandes
I will do what you tell me
Con tal de que seas mia
As long as you are mine
Manda repicar campanas
Send bells ringing
Y yo las repicare
And I will ring them
Manda que se seque el Darro
Send the Darro to dry
Y no volvera a correr
And I won't run again
Pero por amor de Dios
But for the love of God
Pero por amor de Dios
But for the love of God
No me mandes que no te quiera
Don't tell me not to love you
Porque eso no puedo yo
Because I can't do that
Paso la reina una tarde
The queen passed by one afternoon
A la vera de la rosa
At the edge of the rose
Si la rosa era de nieve
If the rose was made of snow
La reina era mas hermosa
The queen was more beautiful
Y, cortandola del tallo
And, cutting it from the stem
Con mano de terciopelo
With a velvet hand
En un alfiler
on a pin
De plata
Silver
Se la prendio sobre el pelo
He put it on her hair
Y por la noche en la Alhambra
And at night in the Alhambra
Mientras la rosa moria
While the rose died
Llorando en los arrayanes
Crying in the myrtle trees
El viento, triste, decia
The wind, sad, said
Ay, rosa de la Alhambra
Oh, rose of the Alhambra
Rosa de la moreria!
Moreria rose!
Hare lo que tu me mandes
I will do what you tell me
Con tal de seas mia
As long as you are mine
Manda repicar campanas
Send bells ringing
Y yo las repicare
And I will ring them
Manda que se seque el Darro
Send the Darro to dry
Y no volvera a correr
And I won't run again
Pero por amor de Dios
But for the love of God
Pero por amor de Dios
But for the love of God
No mandes que no te quiera
Don't tell me that I don't love you
Porque eso no puedo yo
Because I can't do that
