Translation
The Verdolaga
Woe betide him who gives to women
Love and money
When one thinks less about
What remains in the pure leather pocketbook
Because of that I live wandering
Without trust in women
Little loves of an instant
And then never seeing us again
Because of that I live wandering
Without trust in women
Little loves of an instant
And then never seeing us again
One need not be engaged
In matters of love
Unmarried or with a husband
The woman is always good
Although you may see me as innocent
In matters of love
I don’t like the ordinary
I pine for the best
Although you may see me as innocent
In matters of love
I don’t like the ordinary
I pine for the best
The most beautiful loves
Are like the verdolaga plant
No sooner do you put them in a little bit
And they grow like a weed
And you have another advantage
If you cultivate this love
That when it is already past
With one yank it’s finished
And you have another advantage
If you cultivate this love
That when it is already past
With one yank it’s finished

About translator
The verdolaga plant is a medicinal herb with roundish, fleshy leaves and little yellow flowers. As the lyrics suggest, it is easy to cultivate and very fast-growing, but also shallow-rooted and easy to pull up.
