Poe - Spanish Doll Song Lyrics

This place feels so unfamiliar
And yet I know it well
I think I used to belong here
But the only way I can tell
Is that I miss you still
And I cannot find you here
You left me tattered and torn
Just like that sweet Spanish doll
(Sweet Spanish, Sweet Spanish)
Doll.

I went down to the alley way
(Sierra la Bonita) [beautiful mountains]
And found that you were gone
(Si nunca te fueras) [if you never were yourself]
You left no word no message
I still don't know exactly what went wrong
(Lacrima) [tear]
But now no matter where I go
I always seem to return
(Búsca me) [look for me]
To where you left me tattered and torn
(Estoy rompido mi muñeca) [My doll is broken]
Just like that sweet spanish doll
(Sweet Spanish, sweet Spanish doll)

A memory gilded in red and gold
(Del Oro) [of gold]
Beauty guarded and never sold
(Cuída me) [take care of me]
I keep it with me wherever I go
And I love you still
(Requérda me) [remember me]
No matter how a story will unfold
You know I always will
(Esta conmigo) [he is with me]
Have part of you here
In this souvenir
(Spanish doll)

A stranger in this world without you
Is all that I can ever be
All I know that's pure and clear
You left it with me here
In this souvenir
(Spanish, Spanish, Spanish... doll.)

Father: We hear of a lovely daughter, shot down in her mistaken flight,
(Sweet Spanish, sweet)
unaware yet how her life will be affected by this
(Blue skies ahead)
experience.
(Sweet, sweet)
Daughter: Mommy, why how come you cry?
(Spanish doll)
Father: While what was really happening (really happening) in the years of her childhood
(Sweet spanish, sweet)
Perhaps that's where the real story is--in her family house. (family house)
Daughter: How come it's a house of leaves?
(Sweet spanish, sweet spanish)
How come it's a house of leaves?
