Brave Combo – The Spanish Guitar And The African Drum lyrics

The señoritas bloodlines were pure Castilian
Her firm and graceful curves designed
The perfect fit for a man
In some Caballeros cabin
To the new world she did come
But she left him in Oriente
To follow the jungle drum

In his home along the Gold Coast
? Prince did reign
But his people were sold in slavery
They brought him over in chains
But they could not break his spirit
Who was destined to be king
For the harder that they beat him
The louder that he did sing
The unholy trinity of slavery, sugar cane, and rum
Joined the Spanish guitar and the African drum

La guittarra España y el tambor de Africa (4x)

Souls of Europe and of Africa
Are joining in a dance
Linked to one another
In chains of circumstance
The guitar's gentle sweetness
The power of the drum
In simpatico vibrations
The two will ring as one

New songs sent from Heaven
Come to America
Of Jesus and of Mary
Ochala y yamia?
Two very different flowers
That share a single root
They are married along the seashore
To the sound of an indian flute
And from the sacred marriage
Let happy children come
Playing the Spanish guitar and the African drum

La guittarra España y el tambor de Africa (4x)
