La Tarara

Lleva la Tarara
un vestido verde
lleno de volantes
y de cascabeles.
 
La Tarara, sí;
la tarara, no;
la Tarara, niña,
que la he visto yo.
 
Luce mi Tarara
su cola de seda
sobre las retamas
y la hierbabuena.
 
Ay, Tarara loca,
mueve, la cintura
para los muchachos
de las aceitunas.
 
Translation

Tarara

Tarara wears
a green dress
full of ruffles
and of jingle bells.
 
Tarara, yes;
Tarara, no;
Tarara, a girl,
I've seen her and I've liked her.
 
My Tarara wears
a silk train dress
that touches the retamas1
and the mint.
 
Oh, my crazy Tarara,
she moves her hips
for the boys
who pick up the olives.
