Barcelona
Jo Vally Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Altijd zo weinig tijd
Zo zelden thuis en plots voel je spijt
Zet de klok even stil
We maken tijd voor ons twee
We vliegen naar de stad waar de liefde begon
Samen naar Barcelona
Hand in hand langs de Ramblas
In de Spaanse zon
Mi amor Barcelona
Bloemen op de Piazza
Elke avond fiesta
En wij hand in hand
Waar alles begon
Ja
Kijk in m’n ogen zoals die eerste keer
Je moet me beloven dit doen we veel meer
Liefde voor het leven geef ik met heel m’n hart
Geen zegen stormen krijgen ons uit elkaar
Samen naar Barcelona
Bruisend als koele cava
Hand in hand langs de Ramblas
In de Spaanse zon
Mi amor Barcelona
Bloemen op de Piazza
Elke avond fiesta
En wij hand in hand
Waar alles begon
Ja
Samen naar Barcelona
Bruisend als koele cava
Hand in hand langs de Ramblas
In de Spaanse zon
Mi amor Barcelona
Bloemen op de Piazza
Elke avond fiesta
En wij hand in hand
Waar alles begon
Ja

Walking hand in hand along the famous Ramblas street under the Spanish sun symbolizes intimacy and connection. The repeated mention of "Mi amor Barcelona" emphasizes the romantic and passionate nature of their reunion in this picturesque setting.

The reference to weathering any storms that may come their way signifies a resilience and determination to stay united in the face of challenges.

The mention of flowers on the Piazza and nightly fiestas adds to the enchanting and romantic atmosphere of the city. The final lines affirm their bond and connection, highlighting that Barcelona is not only a physical place but also a symbolic location where their love story began and continues to flourish. Overall, the lyrics of "Barcelona" encapsulate themes of love, renewal, and the importance of prioritizing relationships amidst life's busyness.
