En la verde oliva canta, ay, que canta

In the green olive tree
En la verde oliva canta, ay, que canta
In the green olive tree it sings, oh, how it sings
En la verde oliva
In the green olive tree
¿Qué pájaro sería aquel
What bird could that be
Que canta en la verde oliva?
That sings in the green olive tree?
Corre y dile que se calle
Run and tell it to be quiet
Que su cante me lastima
For its song wounds me
Corre y dile que se calle
Run and tell it to be quiet
Que su cante me lastima
For its song wounds me
Tú serás mi prenda queri'a
You will be my treasured one, dear
Tú serás mi prenda adora'
You will be my adored jewel
Tú serás el pájaro cuco
You will be the morning cuckoo bird
Que alegre canta de madruga'
That joyfully sings at dawn
¡Y, ay, que te quiero!
Oh, how I love you!
¡Cuánto te quiero!
How much I love you!
¡Cuánto te quiero!
How much I love you!
Sin ti, ¿mi alma pa' qué la quiero?
Without you, what do I want my soul for?
Y por mi puerta no la pasen
Don't let her pass through my door
No la pasen por mi puerta
Don't let her pass by my door
Y por mi puerta no la pasen
And don't let her pass by my door
No la pasen por mi puerta
Don't let her pass by my door
Ya yo he dicho que a tu entierro
I've already said that to your funeral
No lo pasen por mi puerta
Don't let it pass by my door
Porque mirarte no quiero
Because I don't want to see you
Ni a la carita, ni viva ni muerta
Neither your face, not alive nor dead
Ya yo he dicho que a tu entierro
I've already said that to your funeral
No lo pasen por mi puerta
Don't let it pass by my door
Porque mirarte no quiero
Because I don't want to see you
Ni a la carita, ni viva ni muerta
Neither your face, not alive nor dead
Las entrañas mías
My innermost being
Por ti las daré
I would give it all for you
Que yo me encuentro paga'o
Because I feel settled
Con que tú me cameles bien
As long as you charm me right

About this song
Flouting genre conventions while exploring silence and space as much as sound, ROSALÍA has remade flamenco and pop in the process.
