Las cositas del querer [Dúo] [English translation]

If your people don't want me

Neither mine can stand you1

Because you have gone2crazy

And I am a crazy girl

If you don't have money

And I don't have two reales3

What will we do, my love4

With such large capitals

Help me la Soleá,5if we're one of the other

Who can separate us

They are the things in life6that are the things of loving

They don't have an end or beginning, neither how nor why

You are tall, I'm short

You are blond, I'm tanned7

You, from Sevilla, the plain

And I, from Puerto Real8

Hey! That the colour and height9

Don't have anything to do with the things of loving

If you love me by night

And I love you by day

If I drink from your mouth

And you drink from mine

If the air that you breathe

Is the one that I am breathing in,

Why do they ask us reasons

Of what, how and when

Ours has to be

Though they raise a wall

Between one and the other

They are the things in life that are the things of loving

They don't have an end or beginning, neither how nor why

1. Since the "ni" is there, I decided to change the sentence, also "Neither mine can't stand you" is grammatically incorrect English2. "You have gone crazy" and "You have become crazy" mean the same thing, though in this one it sounds more natural to me to use "gone"3. Spanish coin equivalent two fifty cents4. literally "my guts"5. short version of "La virgen de la Soledad."6. In English, it is more natural to say "in life" than "of life" in this case7. literally "toasted"8. A seaport in the Andalusian province of Cádiz9. or "strature", though "height" sounds better to me
