Lyrics
VOY A CONTARLES A USTEDES
LO QUE A MI ME HA SUCEDIDO
QUE ES LA EMOCION MAS PROFUNDA
QUE EN MI VIDA YO HE SENTIDO
FUE EN NUEVA YORK
UNA NOCHEBUENA
QUE YO PREPARE UNA CENA
PA' INVITAR A MIS PAISANOS
Y EN LA REUNION
TODA DE ESPAÑOLES
ENTRE VIVAS Y ENTRE OLES
POR ESPAÑA SE BRINDO
Y COMO ALLI NO BEBEN POR LA «LEY SECA»
Y SOLO AL QUE ESTA ENFERMO DESPACHAN VINO
YO PAGUE A PRECIO DE ORO UNA RECETA
Y COMPRE EN LA FARMACIA VINO ESPAÑOL
¡VINO ESPAÑOL!, ¡VINO ESPAÑOL!
EL VINO DE NUESTRA TIERRA
BEBIMOS EN TIERRA EXTRAÑA
¡QUE BIEN QUE SABE ESTE VINO
CUANDO SE BEBE LEJOS DE ESPAÑA!
POR ELLA BRINDAMOS TODOS
Y FUE EL FIN DE AQUELLA CENA
LA NOCHEBUENA, MAS BUENA
QUE SOÑAR PUDO UN ESPAÑOL
MAS, DE PRONTO, SE ESCUCHO
UN GRAMOFONO SONAR
«CALLAR TODOS», DIJE YO
Y UN PASODOBLE SE OYO
QUE NOS HIZO SUSPIRAR
CESO LA ALEGRIA
YA TODOS CALLABAN
YA NADIE REIA
QUE TODOS LLORABAN
OYENDO ESTA MUSICA
ALLA, EN TIERRA EXTRAÑA
ERAN NUESTROS SUSPIROS
«SUSPIROS DE ESPAÑA»
Lyrics translation
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME
WHICH IS THE DEEPEST EMOTION
THAT IN MY LIFE I'VE FELT
IT WAS IN NEW YORK.
A CHRISTMAS EVE
THAT I PREPARE A DINNER
PA ' INVITE MY COUNTRYMEN
AND AT THE MEETING
ALL SPANISH
BETWEEN VIVAS AND BETWEEN OLES
FOR SPAIN TO TOAST
AND AS THERE THEY DO NOT DRINK BY THE " DRY LAW»
AND ONLY THE ONE WHO IS SICK DISPATCHES WINE
I PAID THE PRICE OF GOLD FOR A RECIPE
AND BUY AT THE PHARMACY SPANISH WINE
SPANISH WINE! SPANISH WINE!
THE WINE OF OUR LAND
WE DRANK IN A STRANGE LAND
HOW GOOD THIS WINE TASTES
WHEN YOU DRINK AWAY FROM SPAIN!
TO HER WE ALL DRINK
AND IT WAS THE END OF THAT DINNER
CHRISTMAS EVE, THE BEST
THAT DREAM COULD A SPANIARD
BUT SUDDENLY, IT WAS HEARD
A SONAR GRAMOPHONE
"SHUT UP EVERYONE," I SAID
AND A PASODOBLE WAS HEARD
THAT MADE US SIGH
I CEASE THE JOY
EVERYONE WAS ALREADY QUIET
NO ONE LAUGHS ANYMORE
THAT EVERYONE WAS CRYING
LISTENING TO THIS MUSIC
THERE, IN A STRANGE LAND
THEY WERE OUR SIGHS
"SIGHS OF SPAIN»
