Maria de La o
Marife de Triana
Lyrics
Translation
Para tus manos tumbagas
For your hands, coins fall
Pa tus caprichos monedas
For your whims, coins
Y pa tu cuerpo lucirlo
And to showcase your body
Mantones bordados vestidos de sedas
Embroidered shawls, silk dresses
La luna que tupila
The moon that adorns you
La luna que te dan
The moon they give you
Que paso tu payo
What happened, your guy
A villa mas mala
To the worst town
Que tiene un sultan
That has a sultan
Envidio tu suerte
I envy your luck
Que dicen algunas al verte lucir
They say some, seeing you flaunt
Y no saben ellos
And they don't know
La envida que tienen te causan morir
The envy they cause you can make you die
Maria de la o que desgraciaita gitana tu eres queriendo lo tó
Maria de la o, what a wretched Gypsy you are, wanting it all
Te quieres reir
You want to laugh
Que hasta los ojitos los tiene morados de tanto sufrir
Even your little eyes are bruised from so much suffering
Maldito parne, que hasta su culpita le echo un gitano que
Cursed fate, even its blame was placed on a Gypsy
Fue su querer
It was her desire
Castigo de dios. castigo de dios
God's punishment, God's punishment
Es la crucecita que llevas a cuestas maria de la o
It's the little cross you carry, Maria de la o
Para su sed fui el agua
I was the water for your thirst
Para su frío candela
I was the fire for your cold
Y para sus besos amantes dejastes en sus brazos tu carne
And for your kisses, lover, you left your dark skin
Morena
Brown
Querer como aquel vuestro
Love like yours
No hay en el mundo dos
There are not two in the world
Maldito dinero que asi de tu raza alli te aparco
Cursed money, that's how your people are judged there
Seras mas que reina
You will be more than a queen
Te dijo aquel payo y yo le crei
That guy told you, and I believed him
Mi vida y mi oro daría yo ahora
My life and my gold, I would give them now
Por ser lo que fui
To be what I was
