Campanas de Córdoba en la madrugada. Campanas de amanecer en Granada. Os sienten todas las muchachas que lloran a la tierna soleá enlutada. Las muchachas de Andalucía la alta y la baja. Las niñas de España de pie menudo y temblorosas faldas, que han llenado de luces las encrucijadas. ¡Oh, campanas de Córdoba en la madrugada. y oh, campanas de amanecer en Granada!

Cloches de Cordoue dans le matin, Cloches de l'aube à Grenade. Toutes les filles vous entendent en pleurant la tendre soleá endeuillée. Les jeunes filles d'Andalousie, la haute et la basse. Les filles d'Espagne au pied menu, aux jupes tremblantes, qui ont rempli de lumières les carrefours. Oh, cloches de Cordoue dans le matin et vous, oh, cloches de l'aube à Grenade !
