Tangos de La Sultana

Rasgueando las cuerdas de su guitarra,

Strumming the strings of his guitar,

Un sultán se quejaba de su sultana.

A sultan lamented about his sultana.

Son dos pozos de estrellas tus ojos negros

Your black eyes are two wells of stars,

Y una rosa sin luna tu pelo negro.

And your black hair is a rose without a moon.

A mata de romero huele a cuerpo,

A branch of rosemary smells like a body,

No hay en la tierra mora otro sueño.

There is no other dream on earth like a Moor's.

Siendo un rey poderoso soy un mendigo,

Being a powerful king, I am a beggar,

Si me faltan las llamas de tu cariño.

If the flames of your love are missing from me.

No te metas más conmigo,

Don't mess with me anymore,

Porque de sobra tú sabes

Because more than enough you know

Que tú roneas conmigo.

That you flirt with me.
