Triana, bridge and apart

Triana! 1
 
Come with me, and we will build
a little house in the countryside,
and we will get inside,
a little house in the countryside,
and we will get inside
 
To Guitarrina
her father is going to buy her
a lina blanket for the carnival
 
She was my first cousin
a pretty charlotte,
she has her dress made
and doesn’t pay the seamstress
 
A clock marked
with the hours and minutes
of the wrong payment
you have given me
 
When passing through La Campana, 2
the first thing you’ll see is
a guard playing his whistle
and in his hand, a paper where it is written:
“give me two pesetas”;
I don’t feel like it;
grab me by the arm;
lets go to Triana!
 
Oh, the prawns are delicious,
Mari Loli, Mari Anda,
Oh, the prawns are delicious.
Mari Loli dances great,
air with air,
your husband in the era,
the friar is with me
 
~ ~ ~
 
Now, I won’t pass by
under your balcony;
he might get lose
and send me to "San Juan de Dios" 3
 
If you want to dance rumba
with your foot behind you,
if you want to know
the moves I’m making,
stand behind me,
because I’m going to Triana.
You take them down, I put them back up
the posters in every corner…
 
Passing through the Amparo street,
an old woman called me by my name
 
and gave me a pair of scissors
with more mojo than a brass.
And the grinder and the sharpener
that sharpens knives, that sharpens razors,
I bring the grinder stone.
My little girl likes
potatoes with rice, trototron.
Your husband in the era,
the friar is with me
 
Your husband in the era,
the friar is with me
