Appendix 2 - Translation of Suspiros de España by Antonio Alvarez

SUSPIROS DE ESPAÑA

Quiso Dios con su poder

Fundir cuatro rayitos de sol

Y hacer con ellos una mujer

Y al cumplir su voluntad

En un jardín de España nací

Como la flor en el rosal

Tierra gloriosa de mi querer

Tierra bendita de perfume y pasión

España, en toda flor a tus pies

Suspira un corazón

¡Ay de mí!, pena mortal

¿Por qué me alejo España de ti?

¿Por qué te arrancan de mi rosal?

Quiero yo volver a ser

La luz de aquel rayito de sol

Hecho mujer

Por voluntad de Dios

Ay!, madre mía

Ay!, quién pudiera

Ser luz del día

Y al rayar la amanecida

Sobre España renacer

Mis pensamientos

Han revestido

El firmamento

De besos míos

Y sobre España

Como gotas de rocío

Los dejo caer

En mi corazón

España te miro

Y el eco llevará de mi canción

A España en un suspiro

SIGHS FROM SPAIN

God wanted with his power

To melt four sunbeams

And make a woman out of them

And by doing his will

I was born in a garden in Spain

Like the flower on the rose bush

Glorious land of my love

Blessed land of perfume and passion

Spain, in full bloom at your feet

A heart sighs

Woe is me! A death sentence

Why did Spain move me away from you?

Why are you torn from my rosebush?

I want to be again

The light of that little ray of sun

Made into a woman

by the will of God

Oh dear Lord

Oh, who could

be daylight

And at the break of dawn

Over Spain be reborn

My thoughts

have lined

The sky

of my kisses

and about Spain

like drops of dew

I drop them

In my heart

Spain I see you

And the echo will carry my song

To Spain in one sigh
