With trenches full of poets The ragged army, fixin' bayonets to fight the other line Spanish bombs rock the province I'm hearing music from another time Spanish bombs on the Costa Brava I'm flying in on a DC 10 tonight Spanish bombs, yo te quierro y finito Yo te querda, oh mi corazón Spanish bombs, yo te quierro y finito Yo te querda, oh mi corazón Oh mi corazón, oh mi corazón Spanish songs in Andalucia, Mandolina, oh mi corazon Spanish songs in Granada, oh mi corazon Oh mi corazón, oh mi corazón Oh mi corazón, oh mi corazón
