Verde [English translation]
Verde [English translation]
Green, how I want you green
Green wind, green branches.
The ship out on the sea
The horse up on the mountain.
Green, how I want you green
With shadows across her waist
She dreams on the balcony
Green flesh, green hair,
With eyes of cold silver.
Green, how I want you green
Friend, I want to exchange
My horse for your house,
My saddle for your mirror,
My knife for your blanket.
Green, how I want you green
Friend, I come bleeding
From the mountain pass of Cabra.
If I could, young fellow,
this deal would be sealed.
Green, how I want you green
But now I am no longer myself,
Nor is my house now my own home
At least let me climb up
To the high balconies
Green, how I want you green
Friend, I want to die
Decently in my bed
Of iron, if that's possible,
With linen sheets from Holland
Green, how I want you green
Friend, where is she, tell me
Where is that bitter girl?
How many times I waited for her
How many times I was waiting for her
Green, how I want you green
Green, how I want you green
Green wind, green branches.
The ship out on the sea
The horse up on the mountain.
Green, how I want you green
