In the land of Spain, where passion flows free,
Music is a force, that resonates with glee,
A dominant force, in European sound,
The birthplace of flamenco, a rhythm all around.
Though language may be, a barrier to some,
The beat, the rhythm, the melody, are universal hum,
That transcends borders, and cultures so wide,
Spanish songs, that make Africans and Asians sing with pride.
Without knowing the meaning, they sing word for word,
The rhythm and melody, a language that’s unheard,
A language of passion, of fire and desire,
That speaks to the soul, and sets the heart on fire.
From the guitars of Andalusia, to the castanets’ click,
The rhythm of Spain, is a language that’s quick,
To move the body, to stir the soul,
A universal language, that makes us whole.
Flamenco’s fierce passion, a dance so bold,
A fusion of cultures, a story to be told,
Of love, of heartache, of joy and of strife,
A language of emotion, that cuts through life.
So let us celebrate, this rhythm so grand,
This universal language, that’s understood by all in this land,
For in the rhythms of Spain, we find a common ground,
A language that speaks, to the heart, without a sound.
