SPANISH DOLL


Father: "It is November 6th and we are in Madrid, Spain.
And it is a very important day.
To celebrate it, Anne, will sing a song."


This place feels so unfamiliar
And yet I know it well
I think I used to belong here
But the only way I can tell
Is that I miss you still
And I cannot find you here
You left me tattered and torn
Just like that Spanish doll

Girl: (Sweet Spanish.  Sweet Spanish... doll)

I went down to the alley way
(Sierra la Bonita)
And found that you were gone
Girl: (Sí nunca tes fueres) [if you had never left]
You left no word no message
I still don't know exactly what went wrong
Girl: (la grima) [tears]But now no matter where I go
I always seem to return
Girl: (Búsca me) [Find me]
here you left me tattered and torn
Girl: (Estoy rompido me muneca)
[I am torn my sweet doll]

Just like that sweet Spanish doll

Girl: (Sweet Spanish.  Sweet Spanish doll)

A memory gilded in red and gold
Girl: (Del oro) [of gold]
Beauty guarded and never sold
Girl: (Cuida me) [Protect me]
I keep it with me wherever I go
And I love you still
Girl: (Requérda me) [remember me]
No matter how a story will unfold
You know I always will (Esta conmigo)
[It is with me.]
Have part of you here
In this souvenir
Girl: Spanish doll

A stranger in this world without you
Is all that I can ever be
All I know that's pure and clear
You left it with me here
In this souvenir
Spanish, Spanish, Spanish

Father:
We hear of a lovely daughter, shot down in her mistaken flight,
(Sweet, Spanish, sweet) unaware yet
how her life will be affected by this (Búsca me) experience.

Daughter: "Mommy, how come you cry?"

Father: "Why it what was really happening  in the end of her
childhood (Sweet, Spanish, sweet).  'Cuz that's where the
real story is, in her family house."

Daughter : "How come it's a house of leaves?" (Sweet, Spanish.
Sweet, Spanish)

Daughter: "How come it's a house of leaves?" (Requérda me)
