En las cruces de mi reja [English translation]

On my window's bars*

There are a rosebush and a carnation

That blossomed with the tears

Shed by a Marquess's eyes.

Each time he told me:

"My coronet is yours"

Since I am a pure-blooded Gypsy,

Since I am a pure-blooded Gypsy

I would loudly laugh at him.

Like alms given to the poor,

I gave him some flowers.

I told him: "Don't you ever

Dare to talk to me about love again.

If you have a count's

Or a marquess's coronet

I hold the royal crown

Of the Gypsy Kingdom!

I hold the royal crown

Of the Gypsy Kingdom!"

As he stood beneath my window,

I heard him ruefully say

To the bouquet of carnations

And roses that I had given him:

"I don't want to see anyone!

Leave me alone, flowers! Do leave me alone!

For those who truly feel grief,

For those who truly feel grief

Oh... They cannot be cheered by anyone!"

One day they hired me

To sing and dance at a wedding

And, in an instant,

My heart's wings were torn.

On the bride's forehead

I saw my Marquess's coronet;

And, since I am a pure-blooded Gypsy

And, since I am a pure-blooded Gypsy

I couldn't hold back my tongue:

"Show it off, young girl

Because it was once placed

Right beneath my window

And I still rejected it.

If you have a count's

Or a marquess's coronet

I hold the royal crown

Of the Gypsy Kingdom!

I hold the royal crown

Of the Gypsy Kingdom!"

And the roses and carnations

Whisper to each other

As they watch my suffering:

"Ah!

What's happening to this gadji?"

"I don't want to see anyone!

Leave me alone, flowers! Do leave me alone!

For those who truly feel grief,

For those who truly feel grief

Oh... They cannot be cheered by anyone!"
