En Aranjues Con Tu Amor
Sarah Brightman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aranjuez
Un lugar de ensueños y de amor
Donde un rumor de fuentes de cristal
En el jardín parece hablar
En voz baja a las rosas

Aranjuez
Hoy las hojas secas sin color

Que barre el viento
Son recuerdos del romance que una vez
Juntos empezamos tú y yo
Y sin razón olvidamos

Quizás el amor escondido esté
En un atardecer
En la brisa o en la flor
Esperando tu regreso

Aranjuez
Hoy las hojas secas sin color
Que barre el viento
Son recuerdos del romance que una vez
Juntos empezamos tú y yo
Y sin razón olvidamos

En Aranjuez, amor
Tú y yo

The song is about the memories of a past romance that the singer shared with someone in Aranjuez. The lyricist starts the song talking about the beauty of Aranjuez, with its amazing fountains and gardens, but then transitions into describing the present state of the place.

In the end, the lyricist says that love may be hidden in the sunset, the breeze, or the flower, waiting for the lover to return. The lyricist sings of hope, that love can be rekindled in Aranjuez, as they sing together in the refrain "En Aranjuez, amor, tu y yo."
