Malagueño

Oh, this kid, he's a characterAy este niño, que es un caso
Shows good mannersApunta buenas maneras
But when he paints a glassPero cuando pinta un vaso
The water spills outEl agua la pone afuera

From Malaga, MalagueñoDe Málaga, malagueño
Little MalagueñoMalagueñito
You were never poorTú nunca fuiste pobre
Nor a rich kidNi señorito

The divine impertinentEl divino impertinente
Rubs elbows with glorySe tutea con la gloria
With his insolent brushCon su pincel insolente
He's writing historySe va escribiendo la historia
And heY anda

From painting to painting, you go on the attackDe cuadro en cuadro, vas al asalto
You jumped like a kidSaltabas como un chiquillo
Cobalt hurricanesHuracanes de cobalto
Yellow stormsTemporales de amarillo

From the mint to MeccaY de la ceca a la Meca
From madness to the ladiesDe la locura a las damas
Which of all your dollsCuál de todas tus muñecas
Brought color to your bedPuso color en tu cama

When an exquisite perfumeCuando un perfume exquisito
Of dollar and turpentineA dólar y trementina
Comes opening doorsTe viene abriendo puertas
As you walkEn la medida que caminas

And the echo of your presenceY el eco de tu presencia
Is fought over by the gentlemenSe lo rifan los señores
You defend your conscienceTú defiendes tu conciencia
With tricolor brushstrokesA brochazos tricolores

From Malaga, MalagueñoDe Málaga, malagueño
Little MalagueñoMalagueñito
You were never poorTú nunca fuiste pobre
Nor a rich kidNi señorito
