En Tierra Extraña - Raphael

Voy a contarles a ustedesLo que a mi me ha sucedidoQue es la emocion mas

profundaQue en mi vida yo he sentido

Fue en nueva yorkUna nochebuenaQue yo prepare una cenaPa' invitar a mis

paisanosY en la reunionToda de espaÑolesEntre vivas y entre olesPor espaÑa se

brindo

Y como alli no beben por la «ley seca"Y solo al que esta enfermo despachan

vinoYo pague a precio de oro una recetaY compre en la farmacia vino espaÑol

¡vino espaÑol!, ¡vino espaÑol!

El vino de nuestra tierraBebimos en tierra extraÑa

¡que bien que sabe este vinoCuando se bebe lejos de espaÑa!Por ella brindamos

todosY fue el fin de aquella cenaLa nochebuena, mas buenaQue soÑar pudo un

espaÑol

Mas, de pronto, se escuchoUn gramofono sonar

«callar todos», dije yoY un pasodoble se oyoQue nos hizo suspirarCeso la

alegriaYa todos callabanYa nadie reiaQue todos llorabanOyendo esta musicaAlla,

en tierra extraÑaEran nuestros suspiros

«suspiros de espaÑa»

I am going to tell you what has happened to me, what is the most emotional

deepThat in my life I have felt

It was in New York One Christmas Eve I prepared a dinner to invite my

paisanosAnd in the meetingAll of SpaniardsBetween vivas and entre olesFor Spain

I toast

And since they don't drink there because of the "dry law" and only those who are sick are dispatched

wine I paid a prescription at the price of gold AND bought Spanish wine at the pharmacy

Spanish wine! Spanish wine!

The wine of our landWe drank in a foreign land

How good this wine tastes when you drink it away from Spain! We toast to her

all And it was the end of that dinner Christmas Eve, better than a dream could

Spanish

But, suddenly, a gramophone was heard

"Everyone shut up," I said, and a double step was heard, which made us sigh.

Joy Now everyone was silent Nobody laughed Everyone cried Listening to this music There,

in a foreign land were our sighs

“Sighs of Spain”
