Colorin Colorao [English translation]

I'm more Spanish than the Duchess of Alba, 1

Goya would lend me his brushes,

but there are some who don't know

to tell the carnations from the thistles.

And there's who live by his wits

and tells you that Pedro Romero2

drank some shots in his house

with the very... Guzman el Bueno 3

Ay Colorín, Colorin Colorao!

Sorry if I intercede;

because this is it.

Ay Colorín, Colorin Colorao!

I don't like flamencos.

Don't disregard, just in case.

It's better to leave it;

Let's not appear in "El Caso" 4

Ay Colorín, Colorin Colorao!

This is it,

this is it.

Ay Colorín, Colorin Colorao!

I don't say any more reasons

this is it.

Ay Colorín, Colorin, Colorin Colorao!

Ay Colorín, Colorin, Colorin Colorao!

The man who is sensible and tells apart

feels so sad for women

as they can beat him with the eyes,

they declare the pin war on him.

That sounded like a compliment;

tell me if I pay you in cash.

There's no money in the world

to pay for my charm, miss.
