Fandango du Pays Basque [English translation]

Basque1 Fandango,

A simple and whimsical fandango

A girl never says no

to dancing in the arms of a boy!

The whole village is partying

And everyone is a poet,

Tonight everyone thinks only about love

The mountain is flirting with the river Adour 2

chorus:

Fandango... Fandango

That gives rhythm to the cheers

The echo repeats

from Sare to Bilbao

It's the song of the birds

It's the song of the streams

It's the song of love

Fandango!

Ay....

Basque Fandango

A simple and whimsical fandango

It's thanks to you that we splash out on

The best things in life

And how many marriages

Have been seen in the village,

Under your joyful and vibrant accents

And your rhythm which runs in our blood

(chorus)

Fandango...!

Ay...
