Carry me, caravan, take me away
Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain
Andalucia with fields full of grain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish caravan
Yes, I know you can
Trade winds find Galleons lost in the sea
I know where treasure is waiting for me
Silver and gold in the mountains of Spain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish caravan
Yes, I know you can
Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain
Andalucia with fields full of grain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish caravan
Yes, I know you can
Trade winds find Galleons lost in the sea
I know where treasure is waiting for me
Silver and gold in the mountains of Spain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish caravan
Yes, I know you can

I wonder if the meaning of this song is rather simple after all. The Doors might happen to hear some Spanish music (Asturias by Isaac Albeniz, whatever) and wanted to make a cover version. Jimmy Morrison got an order to write some English verses. Two ideas came to his head: (1) this slow thing must be a lullaby and (2) an American like Jimmy or every other show-goer wants to know nothing about any realistic Spain, a country that had been war enemy to the USA for centuries. It would be much better to compose a baby lullaby from kid's fiction stuff like fairy tales or pirate stories or Arabian Nights (adapted for children). Hence this medley of make-ups and, even more telling, the repeating phrase "I have to see you again and again" — it means some page-turner, a comics, a bedtime favorite. "Carry me", "take me", "treasure is waiting for me" is not about just one place but a heap of sites from some adventure series.
No clue what this song means, but I love it.
