Tambourine Dance

Today in the village we have the fair
All the young men look for a partner
They come dancing in their own way
Dance girl, you are single
Arms to the wind, my thought
Is that you don't stop tambourine dancing

Time passes, I have no money
I left everything drinking from the river
It will have to be the shopkeeper who lends me
Today I just want to listen to the tambourine
My girl, she is in love
Young lady, don't stop tambourine dancing

Go, come, go and come and dance from right to left
Go, come, go and come and dance from right to left

People keep coming along the way
Joining in to dance with the neighbors
The girls bring the wine
Offering their sound to the neighbors
Arms to the wind, my thought
Is that you don't stop tambourine dancing

I forget my sorrows when my girl moves
And the love she had for me
Is becoming like my life

My girl, she is in love
Young lady, don't stop tambourine dancing

Go, come, go and come and dance from right to left
Go, come, go and come and dance from right to left

The train goes on step by step
(And let's start the tambourine dance)

We're on our way to San Antón
(And let's start the tambourine dance)

And how happy the bodice went
(And let's start the tambourine dance)

It seems the child was also dancing
(Let's start the tambourine dance)
The tambourine dance, the tambourine dance
The tambourine dance, the tambourine

So you don't suffer from loneliness anymore
(Let's start the tambourine dance)

So you don't have more longing
(Let's start the tambourine dance)
The tambourine dance, the tambourine dance
The tambourine dance, the tambourine

Today in the village we have the fair
All the young men look for a partner
They come dancing in their own way
Dance girl, you are single
Arms to the wind, my thought
Is that you don't stop tambourine dancing

Go, come, go and come and dance from right to left

And go, come, go and come and dance from left to right
