Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nunca mas te podre olvidar
En tu playa yo fui feliz
Y en recuerdo te canto asi...
Malaguena de ojos negros
Hermosa flor
Malaguena es tuyo mi amor
Tu aire de altivez
Y tu morena tez
Malaguena yo recuerdo el dulce son
De tus palillos y de tu cancion
Sigue el embrujo de tu fuego arrasador
Malaguena, yo quiero tu amor
Malaguena de ojos negros
Hermosa flor
Malaguena es tuyo mi amor
Que me tiene herido
Tu aire de altivez
Y tu morena tez
Malaguena yo recuerdo el dulce son
De tus palillos y de tu cancion
Sigue el embrujo de tu fuego arrasador
Malaguena, yo quiero tu amor
The song "Malaguena" by Caterina Valente is about the city of Malaga in Spain and the singer's memories of a past love. The lyrics describe Malaga as a beautiful city by the sea that the singer will never forget. She reminisces about the happy times she spent on the beach, which inspired her to sing this song in remembrance of those memories.
The chorus of the song is an ode to the singer's love for the "Malaguena," a beautiful flower that she compares to her love, who has left her wounded with their air of pride and dark complexion. The singer recalls the sweet sound of the "palillos" (castanets) and the song that accompanied them, which still has the power to bewitch and sweep away all reason. She concludes by declaring that she wants the love of the Malaguena.
Overall, the song has a nostalgic feel, as the singer remembers a time of happiness and love that is now in the past. The lyrics evoke the beauty of Malaga, the power of music, and the longing for lost love.

I fell in love with Caterina Valente and her voice when I first heard her hit song, "The Breeze and I", in the early 1950s. Beautiful in all respects!
