GRANADA (Spanish lyrics)

 

http://ingeb.org/songs/granada.mid

 

Granada, tierra soñada por mí,

Mi cantar se vuelve gitano cuando es para ti,

Mi cantar, eco de fantasía,

Mi cantar, flor de melancolía

Que yo te vengo a dar.

 

Granada, tierra ensangrentada en tardes de toros,

Mujer que conserva el embrujo de los ojos moros,

Te sueño rebelde y gitana, cubierta de flores,

Y beso tu boca de grana, jugosa manzana

Que me habla de amores.

 

Granada, manola, cantada en coplas preciosas,

No tengo otra cosa que darte que un ramo de rosas,

De rosas de suave fragancia que le dieran marco

A la virgen morena. Granada tu tierra está llena

De lindas mujeres, de sangre y de sol.

 

GRANADA (Translation)

 

Granada, land that I dream of,

My singing becomes Gypsy when it is for you,

My singing, echo of fantasy,

My singing, flower of melancholy,

That I come to give you.

 

Granada, land bloodied in afternoons of bullfights,

Woman that conserves the enchantment of Moorish eyes,

I dream of you as rebellious and Gypsy, covered with flowers,

And I kiss your carmine mouth, juicy apple

That speaks to me of love.

 

Granada, Spanish lady, sung in precious couplets,

I have nothing to give you but a bouquet of roses,

Of roses of delicate fragrance that form a setting

For the dark maiden. Granada, your land is full

Of beautiful women, of blood and of sun.

Granada is a song in praise of the city of Granada, which is personified as a dark, beautiful Gypsy lady.

An interesting comment to THIS, found by BT

I'm not so concerned about Rolando Hill - that's as old history as the Penny Black. What you should be doing is looking beyond

the image of the channel and get excited by Darius Campbell as a classical singer in the orthodox mould.

I was trained in the same school - literally - as one of the other judges, Llewellyn Bowen, in the days when there were just three

of us singing male voices in the choir. One is a top conductor, one a Guildhall voice teacher, and me, I'm nothing. But it does entitle

me to suggest that with just one qualification - stamina - Darius' voice is in its own right alone as exciting a discovery as was Kathleen Battle.

Let him loose against Bryn and we'll see fur fly! That he'll have problems stopping the females screaming does no harm - and his height gives him troubleless bass notes,

a natural organ pipe from the bottom of his feet to the roof of his mouth.

The only question is that at the moment, he's being given pop-length pieces a mere three minutes long to sing. He should be able to do more - it would be interesting to see him try.

An interesting second place will go to Marcella Detroit, who still has to master the cracks in her voice a bus could drive through, but then again,

these shows are about learning - if she had made her eyes up in the Horus pattern singing The Queen of the Night,

she could have turned the role into something memorably hermetic.

For the rest, a better demonstration of why commercial pop music is dying could hardly be sought - no voice, no support,

no pitch, no stability, cannon fodder.

DON GIOVANNI

Finch’han dal vino calda la testa,

una gran festa fa preparar!

Se trovi in piazza qualche ragazza,

teco ancor quella cerca menar,

teco ancor quella cerca menar,

cerca menar,cerca menar,

Senza alcun'ordine la danza sia,

ch'il minuetto chi la follia,

chi l'alemanna farai ballar,

ch'il minuetto farai ballar,

chi la follia farai ballar,

chi l'alemanna farai ballar,

Ed io frattanto dall'altro canto,

con questa e quella vo'amoreggiar!

vo'amoreggiar! vo'amoreggiar!

Ah, la mia lista doman mattina

d'una decina devi aumentar!

Ah, la mia lista

d'una decina devi aumentar!

Se trovi in piazza qualche ragazza,

teco ancor quella cerca menar,

Ah, la mia lista doman mattina

d'una decina devi aumentar!

Se trovi in piazza la danza sia

ch'il minuetto chi la follia,

chi l'alemanna farai ballar,

Ah, la mia lista doman mattina

d'una decina devi aumentar!

doman mattina devi aumentar!

doman mattina devi aumentar!

devi aumentar! devi aumentar!

devi devi aumentar! Hahahaha!!
