 The nearer we got to An - dorra, the sun set on the left,

The more the mountains pointed to the black clouds in the west,

Hey, there's a darkness turned the sky that's not the night,

Hey, there's a raincloud there that's shutting out the light!

 What do I tell you? It's... always the same,

 When you run for the sun, you catch the rain----!

 As soon as we reached Barce - lona the cold wind touched the beach,

 And the sun we'd left in London was way beyond our reach,

"Hey," I said, "Darling, it seems a waste of time,

Hey, all we do is sit, and drink our Spanish wine!"

 What do I tell you? It's... always the same,

 When you run for the sun, you catch the rain----!

 In all the tales of Gra - nada... they tell of Islam's run,

 They lived beneath a Moorish Lord, be - neath the Moorish sun,

Oh, how we yearned to turn our faces to that glare,

 But down from the mountains came the rain to soak our hair!

Chi - ca, chi - ca, ta! Chi - ca, chi - ca, ta!

 Chi - ca, chi - ca, ta! Chi - ca, chi - ca, ta! (repeat)
