El Moro

The Moor

El Moro

I lacked nothingA mi nada me faltaba
When I had my moorCuando a mi moro tenía
I lacked nothingA mi nada me faltaba
When I had my moorCuando mi moro tenía
I was free to do as I pleasedLibre era cuanto quería
No handsome man could match meNi guapetón me alcanzaba
No mayor chased meNi alcalde me perseguía
When I had my moorCuando a mi moro tenía

My horse was like an arrowMi caballo era una flecha
When I spurred himCuando la espuela le hincaba
My horse was like an arrowMi caballo era una flecha
When I spurred himCuando la espuela le hincaba
I tired out so many horsesTanto caballos cansaba
When I raised the accurate ballCuando en mi mano derecha
In my right handLa bola certera alzaba
My horse was like an arrowMi caballo era una flecha

Indian, give me back my moorIndio, volvéme mi moro
You have taken my lifeQue me has llevado la vida
Indian, give me back my moorIndio, volvéme mi moro
You have taken my lifeQue me has llevado la vida
My beloved, my only treasureMi bien mi único tesoro
I will give you my belovedYo te daré mi querida
Much better than goldMucho mejor que el oro
Indian, give me back my moorIndio, volvéme mi moro

And I lacked nothingY a mi nada me faltaba
When I had my moorCuando mi moro tenía
And I lacked nothingY a mi nada me faltaba
When I had my moorCuando mi moro tenía
I was free to do as I pleasedLibre era cuanto quería
No handsome man could match meNi guapetón me alcanzaba
No mayor chased meNi alcalde me perseguía
When I had my moorCuando mi moro tenía
