A La Feria de Graná

To the Fair of Granada

Put on the little white handkerchief
And your colorful stockings
I'm going to push you
From Córdoba to Granada
Secure the comb well
And show off your charm
So your family can see
How beautiful you look
And on this moonless night
And by the light of a match
No one will see the stains
You have on your knees
And by the riverbank
As you soak yourself
I'll place on your hair
Four frogs and five toads
And my Moorish camel
Is ecstatic with joy
Because he carries on his hump
My cross-eyed aunt

Put on your evening gown
As we're going to a reception
Don't do like the other day
When you came in a nightgown
And halfway there
I'll give you as a gift
Four prickly thistles
And two unpeeled prickly pears
My camel
And don't stumble as you walk
Hurry up, my camel
Because the one up here
Is eager to arrive
Her ribs hurt (pom pom pom pom)
