LYRICS
Hey Isabella
Queen of Castile and Leon
Took a while getting married
but when you met Ferdinand of Aragon
Spain finally united as one
You got it done
Hey Isabella
A.k.a “La Catolica”
Wrapped up the Reconquista
Conquered Moors in ‘ole Granada
It was you
Called for the Inquisition, too
What else could ya do?
Oh, why don’t you sponsor me?
Oh, just pawn some jewelry
Oh, please listen to my plea
Oh, and send me ‘cross the sea,
Across the Ocean-sea
Hey, Isabella
I know I’m Genoese
But if you were my patron
You’d be the object of envy
I’ll sail for Spain
Think of all the riches you’ll gain
There’s land to claim
Hey Isabella
I tried Portugal and Venice
You refused me more than three times
And I hate to be a menace
Make the call
And if you name me “Admiral”
You’ll have it all
Oh, why don’t you sponsor me?
Oh, goin’ west to the Indies
Oh, please listen to my plea
Oh, and send me ‘cross the sea,
“3000 miles” is not that far
I know you’ve had a pricey war
Just give me ships and crew- I’ll find a way
C’mon, it’s 1492
It’s time for Spain to start anew
Take a risk – I promise it’ll pay
Isabella, can I convince you
That when I cross the ocean blue
The world will never ever be the same
We’re bound for fame
Hey Isabella
“Tanto monta, monta tanto
Isabel como Fernando”
“Equal opposites in balance”- that’s your thing
Ruling equally beside your king
Centralizing power of monarchy
“Jewel of Castilla”, oh blessed Queen
Grant me my dream
Oh, why don’t you sponsor me?
Oh, goin’ west to the Indies
Oh, just pawn some jewelry
Oh, and send me ‘cross the Sea
Across the Ocean-Sea
