Collins, Judy - Emilio Lyrics
Emilio lives in an attic
Plays a flamenco guitar
Our prayers fall down his window
And roll down flanders of rusted out cars
And mix with that racket downstairs
They wonder out into the traffic
Emilio's misguided prayers
The moon is Emilio's mistress
On her there's no journeys back
Some nights she comes to him naked and cold
And some nights she only wears black
When the full moon flows from his bottle
When the moon and the lunatic dance, "senorina"
The beautiful music spins into the night and they dance
In his dreams he can see the "abuelas"
They offer him razors and wine
Suspicious Emilio measures
The "vino" against the divine
But he never has come to believe them
Or accepted their Heavenly host
So vigous and savage darling
The Saint and the sinner he prays to the most
Emilio lives in an attic
Plays a flamenco guitar
Our prayers fall down his window
And roll down flanders of rusted out cars

Collins, Judy Emilio Comments
Beautiful duet but why wasn't Michael Johnson recognized above?
Here's a link to my transcription of the chords and lyrics - with a glossary of Spanish and musical terms that occur in the song. https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/michael_johnson/emilio_chords_1872684
Rest in peace, Michael.
Beautiful song written by a good long lost friend from college days. Hello Michael. We love your duet with Judy Collins. Tim & Nancy
Emilio lives in an attic
Plays a flamenco guitar
Arpeggios fall out his window
And roll down the fenders of rusted out cars
They harmonize with the sirens
And mix with that racket downstairs
They wander out into the traffic
Emilio's misguided prayers
The moon is Emilio's mistress
On her there's no turning his back
Some nights she comes to him naked and cold
And some nights she only wears black
When the Fundador flows from his bottle
Somehow there's always a fight
When the moon and the lunatic dance seguirías
Their beautiful music spills into the night and they dance
In his dreams he can see the abuelas
They offer him wafers and wine
Suspicious Emilio measures
The vino against the divine
But he never has come to believe them
Or accepted their Heavenly host
Sabicas and Salvador Dalí
The saint and the sinner he prays to the most
@F Sharp agree lyrics posted are ludicrous not close seguidillas becomes senioritas
wafers and wine become razors and wine? fundador is totally missed egad
The "Emilio" lyrics that appear on most sites are atrocious. See Michael's website for the correct lyrics to this beautiful song written by Michael Johnson & Tom Keeton and performed exquisitely here by Judy and Michael. They will haunt your dreams both day and night.
Wow! Love this song, and love it double as a duet!
Perhaps the very best song in the excellent CD ?
Great thanks !
