El río de mi Sevilla [English translation]

The river Guadalquivir

Lamented one morning

I have to decide

Between Sevilla and Triana

And I don't know how to choose

Oh, who could

Mix mint and cinnamon in one perfume?

I am dreaming of your kisses

In the alley of the water

Don't wake me from my dream

Bell of the weather vane.

The dreamed caresses

Are the best ones.

Sevilla, don't listen

To the caresses of the river

Which river would come by

To unite with mine?

Because lovers forget sooner

If there's a distance.

River of my Sevilla

Don't stop

River of my Sevilla

Don't stop

For I am waiting for you in Sanlúcar

In the immense sea

What a lack of enthusiasm

You will show when you'll leave the shores of your Triana.

Manuel, don't try to conquer

My heart

Because Sevilla stole it from me

and did not give it back to me

Because Sevilla

tangles up hearts

In its mantilla

Friend, tell me

If you have to pass through Jerez

On your way from Cádiz to Sevilla.
