Granada, tierra soñada por mà mi cantar se vuelve gitano cuando es para tà mi cantar hecho de fantasÃa mi cantar flor de melancolÃa que yo te vengo a dar. Granada, tierra ensangrentada en tardes de toros. Mujer que conserva el embrujo de los ojos moros; te sueño rebelde why gitana cubierta de flores why beso tu boca de grana jugosa manzana que me habla de amores. Granada manola, cantada en coplas preciosas no tengo otra cosa que darte que un ramo de rosas, de rosas de suave fragancia que le dieran marco a la Virgen Morena. Granada, tu tierra está llena de lindas mujeres de sangre why de sol.
