Barcelona
FAMILY ROOM - Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got two left feet and a bottle of red wine
Making me feel like the beat and the bassline
Are in my blood, both hands up on her waistline
Get on up, baby, dance to the rhythm of the music
Don't care what the DJ chooses
Get lost in the rhythm with me
Please don't close until we wanna leave it
And you and I we're flying on an aeroplane tonight
We're going somewhere where the sun is shining bright
Just close your eyes
And let's pretend we're dancing in the street
In Barcelona
Barcelona
Barcelona
Barcelona
Well, get up, up on the dancefloor, move, it's a Saturday night
I fell in love with the sparkle in the moonlight
Reflected in your beautiful eyes
I guess that is destiny doing it right
And dance like they do in the Mediterranean
Spin you around me again and again, and
You're like something that God has sent me
I want you, baby, solamente
And you and I we're flying on an aeroplane tonight
We're going somewhere where the sun is shining bright
Just close your eyes
And let's pretend we're dancing in the street
In Barcelona
Barcelona

Barcelona
Barcelona
Oh, Barcelona
So let's pretend we're dancing in the street
In Barcelona
Las ramblas, I'll meet you
We'll dance around la Sagrada Familia (Barcelona)
Drinking Sangría
Mi niña, te amo mi cariño (Barcelona)
Mamasita rica
Sí, te adoro, señorita (Barcelona)
Los otros, viva la vida
Come on, let's be free in Barcelona
Las ramblas, I'll meet you
Come on and dance with me in Barcelona
Drinking Sangría
I just want to be in Barcelona
Mamasita, rica
Feel that summer breeze in Barcelona
Nosotros, viva la vida
Siempre vida, Barcelona
In the lyrics of "Barcelona" by Ed Sheeran, the singer sets the scene for a night of dancing and romance in the vibrant city of Barcelona. The song begins with an invitation to get up on the dancefloor and let the music take control, even if the singer admits to having two left feet and a bottle of wine. The pulsating beat and bassline of the music make the singer feel alive and connected, moving in harmony with the person they are dancing with. It's a moment of surrender to the music and the moment, where nothing else matters except being carried away by the rhythm.
As the song progresses, the imagery shifts to a dreamlike state where the singer and their love interest are flying on an airplane to a sunny destination. With eyes closed, they imagine themselves dancing in the streets of Barcelona, basking in the warmth of the sun and the passion of the moment. The repetition of the city's name reinforces the idea of escaping reality and immersing oneself in a fantasy world where anything is possible, especially the joy of dancing and being together.
The chorus celebrates the magic of a Saturday night, where the singer falls in love with the beauty of their partner under the moonlight. The Mediterranean-inspired dance moves and the connection felt between them suggest a deep sense of destiny and love. The singer cherishes the moments spent dancing with their partner, feeling as though they have been sent from a higher power. The Mediterranean vibe adds to the romantic and exotic atmosphere of the song, creating a sense of escapism and euphoria in the midst of the dancefloor.
The final verses transport the listener to the streets of Barcelona, where the singer promises to meet their lover for a night of dancing around iconic landmarks like La Sagrada Familia. The references to Sangría, Spanish endearments, and the summer breeze all evoke the sensory experiences of being in Barcelona, a city known for its passion, beauty, and liveliness. The call to "viva la vida" (live life) encapsulates the carefree and joyful spirit of the song, inviting the listener to join in the celebration of love, music, and freedom in the enchanting cityscape of Barcelona.
