English literary translation: Habanera Come, girl, with me to the sea, Because I have a little boat on the beach. We will row in it together, Because only there one knows how to love. Oh, blonde one, if only you knew! Give me, give me your love. www.gudrunolafsdottir.com www.javierjauregui.com www.sonorensemble.com #viardot #garcía #femalecomposer #mezzosoprano #ensemble #chambermusic #spanishsongs #canciónespañola
