Rosa de Madrid [English translation]

Born in the Madrid of Las Vistillas*

Of Embajadores** and of the Cava***

I was the show-off seamstress

That dances the Chotis**** like nobody's business

It was my boyfriend, my passion, my life

It was my happiness, it was my entire world

It was that boyfriend that is never forgotten

It was my sweetheart, my one true love

They told me seeing me so blissful

Is the Rose of Madrid, is the Rose of Madrid

Girl from Madrid, the most sensational and gorgeous

The flower of Chamberí, the flower of Chamberí*****

The most shapely, most beautiful girl

With ruby-red lips, with ruby-red lips

The one who goes down those streets so lively

For that they say that she's the Rose of Madrid
