La violetera [English translation]

Like precoursor birds of springtime

all over Madrid appear the violet vendors

who crying out, they seem to be swallows

chirping around, chirping around.

Take it young man

that only cost "un real", 1.

buy this small bunch from me

to show it on your lapel.

(intermission)

With her lively eyes, her smiling face,

a perfect Madrilenean type,

genuine and typical... that if she turns her eyes, 2

she cauterizes you, she cauterizes you.

Take it young man

that only cost "un real"

buy this small bunch from me

to show it on your lapel.

(bis)

Buy this small bunch from me

buy this small bunch from me

to show it on your lapel.
