Málaga (/ˈmæləɡə/, Spanish: [ˈmalaɣa]) is a municipality, capital of the Province of Málaga, in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, Spain. With a population of 568,479 in 2013, it is the second most populous city of Andalusia and the sixth largest in Spain. The southernmost large city in Europe, it lies on the Costa del Sol (Coast of the Sun) of the Mediterranean, about 100 km (62.14 mi) east of the Strait of Gibraltar and about 130 km (80.78 mi) north of Africa.
Málaga's history spans about 2,800 years, making it one of the oldest cities in the world. It was founded by the Phoenicians as Malaka about 770 BC, and from the 6th century BC was under the hegemony of Ancient Carthage. Then, from 218 BC, it was ruled by the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire as Malaca (Latin). After the fall of the empire, it was under Islamic domination as Mālaqah (مالقة) for 800 years, but in 1487, it again came under Christian rule in the Reconquista. The archaeological remains and monuments from the Phoenician, Roman, Arabic and Christian eras make the historic center of the city an "open museum", displaying its history of more than 3,000 years.
Water as far as I can see
Breathing in this liberty no one could ever take away
Raindrops falling out of the air
What it is I just don't care, what will be will be today
Don't you want this place to be alone?
Open and a million miles from home
Eating, drinking
Hearts beating, thinking what will come, to us will come after a year
Listen let's not hurry, when you're rushing things get blurry
And today, everything's so clear
So what happens, just let it
No I won't forget these days I spend with you
Even if we don't reach the stars, this world is ours
At last, at long last we're free
What if the world could stop
And let you have your life again
Would you not relive it from the start?
Cuz feelings can't be replicated
Pictures will go lost or faded but oh
This view was burned into my heart
So what happens, just let it
No I won't forget these days I spend with you
Even if we don't reach the stars, this world is ours
At last, at long last we're free
I have this dream I'm lost but through the darkness
A hand, and it leads me home
And now I know, know where i go I can rest assured
She'll be there to guide me
Don't you want this place to be alone?
I'm talking bout someplace you could dare to call your own
So what happens, just let it
No I won't forget these days I spend with you
Even if we don't reach the stars, this world is ours
At last, at long last we're free
Burned in our hearts when it's gone, here is Malaga
Burned in our hearts when it's gone, gone is Malaga
Burned in our hearts when it's gone, here is Malaga
