Viva Almería [English translation]

Sun that shines on the crystal beads

of my joyful Andalusia,

a bouquet of carnations

is the land of Almeria.

There I saw the first light

and I started to hum,

and until the day I die

I have to sing to it.

Almeria, an immense coral

is your beautiful bay.

Almeria, your Virgin of the Sea is

my star and my guide.

Almeria, love paradise,

your women are flowers.

Your light alcazaba

and your Andalusian charm.

You're a moor queen

for the Spaniards.

The grapes are little lights

detached from sky

that go everywhere

spreading your charm.

The metals of your core

are your glory and your splendor.

You're the best of Spain

Almeria of my love.
