Sarah Brightman -- En Aranjuez con tu amor

Aranjuez,
Un lugar de ensueños y de amor
Donde un rumor de fuentes de cristal
En el jardín parece hablar
En voz baja a las rosas

Aranjuez,
Hoy las hojas secas sin color
Que barre el viento
Son recuerdos del romance que una vez
Juntos empezamos tú y yo
Y sin razón olvidamos

Quizá ese amor escondido esté
En un atardecer
En la brisa o en la flor
Esperando tu regreso

Aranjuez,
Hoy las hojas secas sin color
Que barre el viento
Son recuerdos del romance que una vez
Juntos empezamos tú y yo
Y sin razón olvidamos

En Aranjuez, amor
Tú y yo


Music and lyrics: Joaquín Rodrigo / Alfredo Garcia Segur

From: Timeless (1997).
And from: Classics - European release (2006).

The melody is from Concierto de Aranjuez (1940) by Joaquín Rodrigo (1901-1999), which originally is a concerto for a classical guitar and an orchestra. writes Anna-Kaisa Uusipaikka. This page is entirely devoted to Joaquin Rodrigo and the concerto. There it says:

Concierto de Aranjuez takes its title from the site of the royal palaces of Aranjuez, a place favoured by the Bourbons. The music (or the two outer movements at least) is not only about the time he [Rodrigo] spent there with his wife on their honeymoon, but also life in the courts in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Anna-Kaisa added that she warmly recommends this "classical version" of the song, as it kind of gives more dimensions to Sarah Brightman's interpretation.

In Aranjuez with your love

Aranjuez, a place of dreams and love
Where a murmur of crystal fountains in the garden
Seems to whisper to the roses

Aranjuez, today the dry leaves without colour
Which are swept by the wind
Are memories of the romance you and I once started together
And that we've forgotten without reason

Maybe that love is hidden in one sunset
In the breeze or in the flower
Waiting for your return

Aranjuez, today the dry leaves without colour
Which are swept by the wind
Are memories of the romance you and I once started together
And that we've forgotten without reason

In Aranjuez, my love
You and I
