Barcelona
Jo Vally Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Veel te vaak weg
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
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

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
