La niña de Puerta Oscura [English translation]

The girl from Puerta Oscura

Met up face-to-face with him,

Her eyes were like embers

And her mouth, like a carnation.

Where are you going, beautiful girl?

Where are you going?

     I'm looking for a rose,

     The rose of the month of April.

When he saw her flushed like a poppy

Manolo Centeno said to Lola:

"Limoná"

In the middle of Limoná, Limoná,

Of conches and seashells,

I'm going to build to my Lola

A house of corals.

Limoná, Limoná,

And that at night she goes alone,

With green long-tailed dress,

Let her dance for soleá.

The girl from Puerta Oscura

When he saw hem, she has not seen him since

And Málaga murmurs to her

From Palo until Limoná.

What a shame, Manuel Centeno!

That you don't want to come,

To see this brunette carnation1

That has arisen me for you.

Embroidering diapers for her child

The girl from Puerta Oscura cried a lot.

"Limoná"

In the middle of Limoná, Limoná,

Of conches and seashells,

I'm going to build to my Lola

A house with corals.

Limoná, Limoná,

And that at night she goes alone,

With green long-tailed dress,

Let her dance for soleá.

Limoná, Limoná,

And that at night she goes alone,

With green long-tailed dress,

Let her dance for soleá.
