El Tortillero

The Tortilla Vendor

El Tortillero

Dark night, I see nothingNoche oscura, nada veo
But I carry my lanternPero llevo mi farol
Passing by your doorPor tu puerta, voy pasando
And singing with loveY cantando con amor

I keep singingMás voy cantando
With so much sorrowCon tanta pena
From the toasted embersDe rescoldo tostadita
Good tortillasTortillas buenas
From the toasted embersDe rescoldo tostadita
Good tortillasTortillas buenas

If only, my basketQuién pudiera, mi canasto
Could be exchanged in a hugEn un abrazo trocar
If you want, missSi usted quiere, señorita
Here come the warm onesCalientitas aquí van

I keep singingMás voy cantando
With so much sorrowCon tanta pena
From the toasted embersDe rescoldo tostadita
Good tortillasTortillas buenas
From the toasted embersDe rescoldo tostadita
Good tortillasTortillas buenas

If I don't see your beautySi no veo, tu hermosura
Waiting for me on the balconyQue me espera en el balcón
My basket breaksSe me rompe la canasta
My lantern goes outSe me apaga el farol

I keep singingMás voy cantando
With so much sorrowCon tanta pena
From the toasted embersDe rescoldo tostadita
Good tortillasTortillas buenas
From the toasted embersDe rescoldo tostadita
Good tortillasTortillas buenas
