The Saracen

He has very curly hair
His eyes are of a bandit's and the sun is in his face
Every girl is blushes if they see him pass.
A cigarette in his mouth
A hand in his pocket
And he walks conceited around the entire city
 
The saracen, the saracen
Good-looking boy
The saracen, the saracen
He makes every girl lose their breath
His face is beautiful
His heart is beautiful (good heart)
He knows how to make love
He's mischievous, he's a lady's man
If you saw him you'd fall in love
 
And the blonde was poisoned, the brunette killed herself
Is his love poisonous or disastrous?
What has he done to these women?
 
The saracen, the saracen
Good-looking boy
The saracen, the saracen
He makes every girl lose their breath
His face is beautiful
His heart is beautiful (good heart)
If you saw him you'd fall in love
 
The saracen, the saracen
Good-looking boy
The saracen, the saracen
He makes every girl lose their breath
His face is beautiful
His heart is beautiful (good heart)
He knows how to make love
He's mischievous, he's a lady's man
If you saw him you'd fall in love
 
The saracen, the saracen
Good-looking boy
The saracen, the saracen
He makes every girl lose their breath
His face is beautiful
His heart is beautiful (good heart)
He knows how to make love
He's mischievous, he's a lady's man
If you saw him you'd fall in love
 
But a redhead, the other night, with a kiss and an apology
Stole your (the saracen) soul and heart
Saracen, you're not yourself
 
The saracen, the saracen
Good-looking boy
The saracen, the saracen
He makes every woman fall in love
Saracen, saracen

Thanks for the translation! Just take in consideration that the second repetition of the chorus is smaller than the others and that you can use footnotes to add additional info you find necessary to the translation context.
