En Aranjuez Con Amor
Sarah Brightman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 lyrics of Sarah Brightman/The London Symphony Orchestra's song En Aranjuez con Tu Amor describe the town of Aranjuez as a place of dreams and love where the sound of crystal fountains in the garden seem to whisper quietly to the roses. The first verse of the song is a description of the romantic setting of Aranjuez. It paints a picture of a beautiful garden where the sound of the crystal fountains creates an ambiance of enchantment that captivates the senses. The second verse talks about how the once-vibrant romance between the two lovers has faded into a mere memory represented by the colorless, dried-up leaves that scatter in the wind. The chorus is a repetition of the verse, emphasizing that the memories of the lapsed love live on.
The third verse suggests that the love they shared might still be alive, hidden somewhere in the sunset or the flowers and waiting for her return. The last line, "En Aranjuez, amor/Tú y yo" (In Aranjuez, love/You and me), in particular, emphasizes the fact that the couple's love story began in the gorgeous town of Aranjuez, and now that it has faded, the singer hopes to rekindle it in that same town.
Overall, the song is a touching tribute to the romantic setting of Aranjuez and the love that once bloomed there. It speaks to the power of memories, the hope of rekindling a lost love, and the longing to return to a place where something precious began.
