Barcelona



SIEMPRE VIDA, BARCELONA”, by Ed Sheeran


The song of Barcelona is included in the album of Divide. Ed Sheeran considerates Divide his best album because it’s different.
The lyrics of the song is a quite disconnected style, it mixes concepts and places of the Catalan capital such as La Sagrada Familia or La Rambla with sangria and words in Spanish, as for 'mamasita rica' to name the girl who sings the song and who promises a crazy night dancing and drinking wine in Barcelona.

Barcelona

He’s saying to the girl to dance with him and don’t care about nothing more, only he and she ( the girl).
[Verse 1]
Will get up, up on the dancefloor tonight
I’ve got two left feet and a bottle of red wine
Making me feel like the beat and the bassline
Are in my blood, both hands up on her waistline
Get on up, baby, dance to the rhythm of the music
Don’t care what the DJ chooses
Get lost in the rhythm with me
Please don’t close until we wanna leave it

He says that she has to trust in him and that they will be happy in Barcelona.
[Chorus]
And you and I we’re flying on an aeroplane tonight
We’re going somewhere where the sun is shining bright
Just close your eyes
And let’s pretend we’re dancing in the street
In Barcelona
Barcelona
Barcelona
Barcelona

He confess his love to her and he compares the girl with Barcelona, because he loves the girl like Barcelona.
[Verse 2]
Will get up, up on the dancefloor, move, it’s a Saturday night
I fell in love with the sparkle in the moonlight
Reflected in your beautiful eyes
I guess that is destiny doing it right
And dance like they do in the Mediterranean
Spin you around me again and again, and
You’re like something that God has sent me
I want you, baby, solamente

[Chorus]
And you and I we’re flying on an aeroplane tonight
We’re going somewhere where the sun is shining bright
Just close your eyes
And let’s pretend we’re dancing in the street
In Barcelona
Barcelona
Barcelona
Barcelona
Barcelona
Barcelona
Oh, Barcelona
So let’s pretend we’re dancing in the street
In Barcelona
He describes what the girl will see with him in Barcelona. And he underlines the places and things that he likes about Barcelona.
[Verse 3]
Las ramblas, I’ll meet you
We’ll dance around la Sagrada Familia (Barcelona)
Drinking sangría
Mi niña, te amo mi cariño (Barcelona)
Mamasita rica
Sí, te adoro, señorita (Barcelona)
Los otros, viva la vida
Come on, let’s be free in Barcelona
Las ramblas, I’ll meet you
Come on and dance with me in Barcelona
Drinking Sangría
I just want to be in Barcelona
Mamasita, rica
Feel that summer breeze in Barcelona
Nosotros, viva la vida
Siempre vida, Barcelona
