Sevilla by Martinique Johnson

They say that Paris is for romance
where lovers fall in the north of France
but I can’t give it a second glance
because my memories lie
with Sevilla.

The first time I passed your glittering eyes at the Feria
In the heart of Andalucia
I threw caution to the wind
I’d never be back again
Nunca volveré a Sevilla
(I’ll never go back to Sevilla)



Were you a mirage
A trick of the light sent to assuage
The pain of my broken past
The loves that didn’t last
before Sevilla

The first time I passed your glittering eyes at the Feria
In the heart of Andalucia
I threw caution to the wind
I’d never be back again
Nunca volveré a Sevilla

Amid the streets of Santa Cruz
It was too much too soon
but what did I have to loose
when he found me entranced on the plaza
body echoed mine, fire in his eyes, in a flamenco danza
I threw caution to the wind
I’d never be back again
Nunca volveré a Sevilla

The magic of the Feria
I cannot fathom
I cannot ask him
My heart still held for ransom
When did it begin when did it end

I’d never be back again
Nunca volveré a Sevilla
Nunca volveré a Sevilla
