Barcelona, you beautiful carinõ

Barcelona, you beautiful carinõ

You stole my heart

Which was already broken

And you healed it

You looked after it

You protected it

And you gave it back to me

Clean, beautiful like you.

 

Barcelona, you beautiful carinõ

Of dirty streets

With full subways

With your beggars in the street

But full of life, light and music

Vibrant, attractive and desirable

 

Barcelona, you beautiful carinõ

I'm going, but I'll be back, okay?

Thank you for welcoming me back

For taking care of me, healing me

and making me dream and write

Your curves are inspiring

The wind is not windy

The light rain and the warm sun

Are inspiring

The beach 5 minutes from the mountain

All of it inspiring

 

You're not Lagos, you never will be

But don't be sad

Barcelona, you beautiful carinõ

You have my heart.

 

And then a poem

Probably just another one

Of Barcelona was written

Carried by the wind

Given to the Mediterranean

Or the Pyrenees

 

I sang to you

I wept for you

I longed for you

I hardly slept

I daydreamed

I wrote to you

And finally, I leave you

With a slight sadness

But full of the love you gave me

Filled with inspiration from the

Pyrenees, the Mediterranean and Montserrat

and of course, your Guadíí, Picasso and your people

I'm going full of desire to live

Full of desire for the next adventure,

 

Barcelona, you beautiful carinõ

I'm going, but I'm coming back

That's what I want from my love

I'll give you everything you're looking for

I came looking for life

And you gave me the will to live

I came looking for healing

And you showed me people who live with pain, your people

I came looking for freedom

And you gave me solitude

You didn't let me feel alone, insecure or unprotected

Barcelona, you beautiful carinõ, THANK YOU!
