Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando el sol brilla de alegría
Y tristeza de mi Andalucía
Tus casas blancas donde lloran
Tus ojitos blancos Sevilla
Corren lágrima de sangre
Sobre tu vestido
Bordado de colores de Andalucía
Vienes a caballo
Bajando el monte
Suenan las Campanas de mi Giralda
Hoy quieren ir hasta la muerte
Dos hombres por ella
Van gritando por las calles de Sevilla
Que pena Andalucía
Cuando el sol brilla de alegría
Y tristeza de mi Andalucía
Piel morena tus ojos brillan
Doloridos de tanta tristeza
Cuando el sol brilla de alegría
Y tristeza de mi Andalucía
Tus casas blancas donde lloran
Tus ojitos blancos Sevilla
Andalucía, Andalucía
Tanta historia por esa envidia
Andalucía vestida de negro
Van a morir en la Plaza de Triana
Andalucía, Andalucía
Tanta historia por esa envidia
Andalucía vestida de negro
Van a morir en la Plaza de Triana
Andalucía, Andalucía
Tanta historia por esa envidia
Andalucía vestida de negro
Van a morir en la Plaza de Triana
Andalucía, Andalucía
Tanta historia por esa envidia
Andalucía vestida de negro
Van a morir en la Plaza de Triana
"Andalucia" by Sya is a song about the sadness and longing for Andalucia, a region in southern Spain. The lyrics depict the contrast between the sun shining with joy and the underlying sadness that permeates the region. The white houses of Andalucia are personified as crying and the tears of Sevilla run red with blood, representative of the pain and suffering that the region has experienced. The song talks about two men who are willing to die for Andalucia, shouting through the streets of Sevilla. The verses convey the intensity and emotion of the region's history and its people's passions.
The song is also about envy, jealousy, and the struggles that come with them. The chorus repeats the phrase "Andalucia, Andalucia, tanta historia por esa envidia," which means, "Andalucia, Andalucia, so much history because of envy." The line is a poignant reminder of the turmoil the region has experienced throughout its history. The song speaks to the depth of Andalucia's history, the rich cultural heritage, and the passions of the people who live there.
