Carry me, caravan, take me away
Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain
Andalucia with fields full of grain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish caravan
Yes, I know you can

Trade winds find Galleons lost in the sea
I know where treasure is waiting for me
Silver and gold in the mountains of Spain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish caravan
Yes, I know you can

Carry me caravan
Take me away
Take me to Portugal
Take me to Spain
Andalucía
With fields full of grain
I have to see you
Again and again
Take me spanish caravan
Yes, i know you can.

Trade winds find galleons
Lost in the sea
I know where treasure
Is waiting for me
Silver and gold
In the mountains of Spain
I have to see you
Again and again

@Randall Polk 16 huh...that's interesting seeing he was born in '46. The Doors hadn't formed in 1962 that's for sure. Robbie Krieger was 20/21 when he wrote Light My Fire for the debut album. Most of the songs The doors played like at the Whiskey/London Fog in '66 before the '67 debut album were from Morrisons poems.

Well, I'm here after a robbery lesson that had this song playing in the background, but apparently, we were all high as fucking kites, so I don't think we'll be doing much robbing any time soon, people kind of had a tendency to just zone out and not really pay much attention, and the teachers were even more fucked up, I think we were supposed to learn something about bank heists or maybe something with a train, or maybe it was an armored car, but nobody really gave a rotten rat queef after the first couple of minutes so we just more or less turned into liquid in a bunch of bean bag chairs and listened to music for around a week or thereabout...

¡El Amor derriba a los gigantes de la incomprensión! ¡El Amor es usurpado de los sentimientos del corazón por la guillotina de la ambición! ¡La Palabra es prisionera de la dictadura de la razón! ¡La Princesa Azul es un perfume de verano sin fin! Las Flores nunca mueren, ¡porque la primavera es la poesía eterna! El Libro es una Plaza de palabras sin aduanas, escrito en la inspiración de la libertad, en hojas de árboles, en páginas electrónicas, en tiempos de sol y lluvia, hacen fecundo y maduro el corazón para alcanzar la plenitud de comprensión, con juguetes para niños de todas las edades que inventan la imaginación! ¡El Libro es la casa, la república, el orden y la decencia, la expresión! ¡El pájaro naranja estaba posado en la alcandora de la lluvia de cristal, en el preludio del teatro del amanecer, cantando notas musicales, en el escenario del recital de primavera! El Caballo evidencia tristeza por el yugo y la carga, ¡pero sus ojos superan la libertad sobre el horizonte! ¡El Castillo de las Palabras invita a degustar una carta de vinos que trasciende la sabiduría filosófica! ¡Romper todas las reglas es romper la conciencia y cauterizar el entendimiento! La alegoría del legionario, el oasis y la cáfila de los ladrones, todos son espejismos de la odalisca perdida en los brazos de lo tuareg, nómada de la poesía del sol del desierto, nómada da reflexión de los espejismo! ¡ La mentira es un plato indigerible al final del banquete! ¡¡La muchedumbre andrajosa y pordiosero es la justicia propia inherente del corazón, orgulloso y soberbio ! ¡Una fantasía inventa otra fantasía inspirada en las alegorías del carnaval de la poesía! ¡La arquitectura Métrica del Logos mide las dimensiones de los tesoros celestiales! ¡En la manga de la camiseta del destino no hay cartas de la casualidad y en la manga de la camiseta de la casualidad no hay cartas del destino! ¡El hombre de palabras corre sobre el filo poético de las dagas con el estoque más afilado que los corales marinos! ¡Mi espada es como las estrellas, incontables! La arrogancia y la indiferencia fabrican el desamparo del ser humano, ¡Pero nos juntamos no hay desprotección y desamparo! ¡El campanario de las emociones del alma compone la ferviente composición lírica de la lágrima! Las arterias coronarias y las aurículas de Filadelfias del corazón bombean viva la poesía, ¡el lirismo inmortal de las amistades! Las arterias coronarias y los atrios del corazón de Filadelfia producen poesía viva, ¡el lirismo inmortal de las amistades! Las Flores nunca se marchitan, porque la primavera es la eterna renovación de la poesía ¡La desnudez de la lluvia es pura en todo su diseño anatómico! ¡El ermitaño Soolomomgurupundit está bajo la sombra del sándalo azul mirando a los ojos del tigre autóctono y dueño de su territorio! ¡ Las Huellas digitales, histoórica e indelebles son versos imperecederos, guardados bajo el manto del tiempo!La doncella de valette baila en un ritmo rápido de boza para bailar, ¡el ritmo articulado de Rugova! ¡En el lado oscuro del sol poético las puertas caminan en los infinitos versos del universo! ¡La ninfa de la quimera azul de la bucólica luz de la luna primaveral, en un sueño alvissáreiro ! La franquicia poética de la Princesa Azul, Lirismo en tiempos de guerra, acapara la mirada y tiene la hegemonía de la atención, polariza los versos de inspiración y resalta el campo magnético de su carisma personal, conjugado a consideraciones sucintas, sigue el guión instigador del romance intrigas, muertes, amores e idilios!¡ La Mujer es la inspiración del lirismo del placer, en la excitante calidez de los versos corporales! ¡La Mujer es la inspiración del lirismo del placer, en el toque cálido y excitante de los versos corporales! ¡El crepúsculo de la soledad comienza, gradualmente, a enfriarse y enfriarse en el púlpito del alma del poeta! @@@ zzz

OLÉ! Maybe by that time they would eventally listen to records by Spanish flamenco guitarist Sabicas (1912-1990) or Paco De Lucía (1947-2014) , who by that time had released 7 albums so far. Actually, Sabicas was the first Spanish flamenco artist to start mixing up flamenco with rock'n roll during the 1960's. Or else...They discovered flamenco via "Sketches Of Spain" by Miles Davis.
