"Spanish Bombs" - English Song about the Spanish Civil War (The Clash)

Note that the Spanish in the song isn't really grammatically correct, so the translations are rough.

"Spanish Bombs" is a song by the English punk rock band The Clash. The song is the seventh track on their 1979 album "London Calling," a more genre-expansive album compared to their previous records, and which is consider by many to be the band's best work. The song itself handles themes of the Spanish Civil War of 1936–1939 and its lasting effects on the world, especially Latin America and the British Isles. The song was largely written by Joe Strummer and composed by Mick Jones, both of The Clash.



-- Lyrics --
Spanish songs in Andalusia,
The shooting site in the days of ‘39.
Oh, please, leave the ventana open,
Federico Lorca is dead and gone.
Bullet holes in the cemetery walls,
The black cars of Guardia Civil,
Spanish bombs on the Costa Rica,
I’m flying in on a DC-10 tonight.

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito,
Yo te acuerda, oh, mi corazón.
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito,
Yo te acuerda, oh, mi corazón.


Spanish weeks in my disco casino,
The freedom fighters died up on the hill:
They sang the red flag, they wore the black one,
After they died it was Mockingbird Hill.
Back home, the buses went up in flashes,
The Irish tomb was drenched in blood.
Spanish bombs shatter the hotels,
My señorita’s rose was nipped in the bud.

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito,
Yo te acuerda, oh, mi corazón.
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito,
Yo te acuerda, oh, mi corazón.


The hillsides ring with “Free the people,”
Or can I hear the echoes from the days of ‘39?
Trenches full of poets, the ragged army,
Fixing bayonets to fight the other line.
Spanish bombs rock the province,
I’m hearing music from another time.
Spanish bombs, Costa Brava,
I’m flying in on a DC-10 tonight.

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito,
Yo te acuerda, oh, mi corazón.
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito,
Yo te acuerda, oh, mi corazón,
Oh, mi corazón,
Oh, mi corazón,
Spanish songs in Andalusia,
Mandolina, oh, mi corazón.
Spanish songs in Granada,
Oh, mi corazón,
Oh, mi corazón,
Oh, mi corazón,
Oh, mi corazón…
