La Novia Del Conde de Alba

The Count of Alba's Girlfriend

La Novia Del Conde de Alba

Sad news, sad newsTristes nuevas tristes nuevas
Were being said around SevilleSe decian por sevilla
That the Count of Alba is getting marriedQue se casa el conde de alba
To a lady of great worthCon dama de gran valia

He walked around his roomSe passeava por su quarto
Where he cried and moanedDonde yorava y gemia
He twisted his white handsSus manos blancas retuerce
And twisted his ringsY sus aniyos torcia

He saw the Count of Alba comingVio venir al conde de alba
With all his companyCom toda su compañia
Count of Alba, Count of AlbaConde de alba conde de alba
Count of Alba and my lifeConde de alba y de mi vida

They told me you are getting marriedQue me han dicho que te cazas
To a lady of great worthCon dama de gran valia
-Who came to tell you?-quién te lo vino a decir
Who didn't speak liesQue mentiras no decia

My wedding will be tomorrowMis bodas seran manyana
And I was coming to invite youY a convidarte venia
Upon hearing those wordsAl oir essas palabras
The girl fell headfirstCayo de punta la niña

Oh, how bad love isAy que malos son amores
But I didn't knowPero yo no lo sabia
That the heart turnsQue se pone el corazón
Upside downLo de abajo para arriba
