The Spanish Word For Heart
[Verse 1]
Well, the Spanish word for heart is corazón
It's there in every second Spanish song
I have come to learn its meaning
Though I might pronounce it wrong
But the Spanish word for heart is corazón

[Verse 2]
Now, the German say das Herz und die Liebe
The French say coeur, the Irish say mo chroí
I don't know what they say in Denmark
I couldn't stay that long
But the Spanish word for heart is corazón

[Hook 1]
Oh but there are those who don't know what it means
They will wear you down and trample on your dreams
They might speak a little Spanish
But it's not their mothеr tongue
Cause the Spanish word for hеart is corazón

Well I never really learned that much in school
I was too busy playing guitar and playing the fool
There was no teacher that could teach me
What I had to learn alone
Like the Spanish word for heart is corazón
[Hook 2]
Now I've learnt that life is richer when it's shared
So while there's wine to drink and music to be heard
I will raise my glass to all the hearts that I depend upon
Now the Spanish word for that is corazón

[Spanish interlude]
En español decís corazón
En vosotros poesía y canción
Tal vez esta palabra no necesita traducción
En español decís corazón

[Outro]
Oh, the Spanish word for heart is corazón
It's there in every second Spanish song
I have come to learn its meaning
Why did it take so long?
The Spanish word for heart is corazón
Yes, the Spanish word for heart is corazón
