La Lirio [English translation]
La Lirio [English translation]
In "Cadiz has" La Bizcocha a sailors' café
And in the café there's a girl with color of brown lily
color of brown lily
They call her Lily by name
And this name quite fits her,
For the love affair, love affair ,
"Has" the ,,dark circles'' around her eyes
And with "Cadiz" in Almeria,
With the hoarse voice of brandy,
The sailors sing:
Chorus
The Lily, The Lily has
the Lily Has a pain,
They've commanded her to visit temples
The circles around her eyes of martyrdom.
It is because of a man,
It is said if tey're two;
But the truth of the story , oh Lord of my tortures!,
The Lily and God are aware of it.
In the sea, the tide and the virgin, ''the candle'',
And for tortures, ,,sea'' of my soul -
for black bruises they call the ones the Lily has.
A man arrived from Cuba
And at La Bizcocha he's paid
Fifty gold coins
For that ,,purple'' lily,
For that ,,purple'' lily,
They say it was a phylter
Of mint and sesame,
That it was a night of moon,
That it was an April evening.
And from "Cadiz" to Almeria
A fiance sings about the Lily
With the voice "full of pain":
(Chorus)
