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)
