Flamenco
L'Espagne t'a donné, deux accents sans pareil
Spain gave you, two unmatched accents
L'Espagne t'a donné, les rythmes du soleil
Spain gave you, the rhythms of the sun
Pour mieux chanter la joie, pour mieux chanter la joie
To better sing the joy, to better sing the joy
L'Espagne t'a forgé comme on burine un cœur
Spain shaped you like one chisels a heart
L'Espagne t'a forgé au feu de sa douleur
Spain forged you in the fire of its pain
Et tu as sangloté et gémis et souffert
And you wept and moaned and suffered
Dans tous les bras ouverts, dans tous les bras ouverts
In all the open arms, in all the open arms
Tu n'as que six bouts de cordes qui s'accordent
You have only six strings that harmonize
Un cœur de bois qui résonne, s'abandonne
A wooden heart that resonates, surrenders
Mais dans tes courbes profondes
But in your deep curves
Chante et danse tout un monde
Sing and dance a whole world
Car la couleur de ta peau
For the color of your skin
A couleur de flamenco
Has the hue of flamenco
L'Espagne t'a couché aux portes de sa voix
Spain laid you down at the gates of its voice
L'Espagne t'a couché comme un long cri de joie
Spain laid you down like a long cry of joy
Pour mieux chanter l'amour, pour mieux chanter l'amour
To better sing of love, to better sing of love
L'Espagne t'a forgé pour ses quatre saisons
Spain shaped you for its four seasons
L'Espagne t'a forgé une âme sans prison
Spain forged you a soul without prison
Et toi tu as jeté, ton cœur à découvert
And you laid your heart bare,
Dans tous les bras ouverts, dans tous les bras ouverts
In all the open arms, in all the open arms,
Guitare, guitare, guitare
Guitar, guitar, guitar,
Flamenco
