O vira vira

The Turnaround

O vira vira

I come from the land of gold,Veño da tera de ouro,
I come from the golden land,veño da terra dourada,
I come from the land of menveño da terra dos homes
but I’m not coming as a bride.pero non veño casada.

Goodbye, little girl, goodbye;Adiós, rapaciña, adios;
I’m not for you anymoreeu para tí xa non era
though the biggest shipsanque mais altos navíos
sail with less sail.navegan con menos vela.

And turn and turn,E vira e vira,
if I don’t turn;senón viro eu;
your dad is my father-in-law,teu pai é meu sogro,
your love is me.teu amor son eu.

I got married for a yearEu caseime por un ano
just to see what life was like;por saber que vida era;
now the year is over,agora o ano acabouse,
single girl, oh how I wish!solteiriña ¡quen me dera!

You say you’re leaving, you’re leaving;Dices que te vas, te vas;
you can go on ahead;xa te podes ir indo;
if you had left a year ago,se te foras hai un ano,
you would’ve already forgotten me.xa me tiñas esquecido.
