La Otra España
Mocedades
Lyrics
Translation
Con sombrero de ala ancha
With a wide-brimmed hat
Y un clavel en la solapa
And a carnation in the lapel
Un don juan se hizo a la mar
A Don Juan set sail
Con la tierra a sus espaldas
With the land behind him
La aventura en su mirada
Adventure in his gaze
Su guitarra y un cantar
His guitar and a song
Oh marinero, oh marinero.
Oh sailor, oh sailor
De su capa hizo un poncho
He made a poncho from his cape
De su guitarra un charango
A charango from his guitar
De su tierra otra mar.
From his land, another sea
Tú eres la otra españa
You are the other Spain
La que huele a caña, tabaco y brea
The one that smells of sugarcane, tobacco, and tar
Eres la perezosa
You are the lazy one
La de piel dorada, la marinera
The one with golden skin, the sailor
Ah ah ah marinera, ah ah ah marinera.
Ah ah ah sailor, ah ah ah sailor
Entre notas de guitarra
Among guitar notes
Les hablaba de su tierra
He spoke to them about his land
De un clavel y de un balcón
About a carnation and a balcony
Donde aún llora una niña
Where a girl still weeps
Esperando a aquél que un día
Waiting for the one who one day
Se olvidó decirle adiós
Forgot to say goodbye
Oh marinero, oh marinero.
Oh sailor, oh sailor
Con sombrero de ala ancha
With a wide-brimmed hat
Y un clavel en la solapa
And a carnation in the lapel
Un don juan se hizo a la mar...
A Don Juan set sail...
