La Otra España

The Other Spain

La Otra España

With a wide-brimmed hatCon sombrero de ala ancha
And a carnation in the lapelY un clavel en la solapa
A Don Juan set sailUn don juan se hizo a la mar
With the land behind himCon la tierra a sus espaldas
Adventure in his gazeLa aventura en su mirada
His guitar and a songSu guitarra y un cantar
Oh sailor, oh sailor.Oh marinero, oh marinero.

From his cape he made a ponchoDe su capa hizo un poncho
From his guitar a charangoDe su guitarra un charango
From his land another sea.De su tierra otra mar.

You are the other SpainTú eres la otra españa
The one that smells of sugar cane, tobacco, and tarLa que huele a caña, tabaco y brea
You are the lazy oneEres la perezosa
The one with golden skin, the sailorLa de piel dorada, la marinera
Ah ah ah sailor, ah ah ah sailor.Ah ah ah marinera, ah ah ah marinera.

Among guitar notesEntre notas de guitarra
He spoke to them about his landLes hablaba de su tierra
About a carnation and a balconyDe un clavel y de un balcón
Where a girl still criesDonde aún llora una niña
Waiting for the one who one dayEsperando a aquél que un día
Forgot to say goodbyeSe olvidó decirle adiós
Oh sailor, oh sailor.Oh marinero, oh marinero.

With a wide-brimmed hatCon sombrero de ala ancha
And a carnation in the lapelY un clavel en la solapa
A Don Juan set sail...Un don juan se hizo a la mar...
