La Molinera

The Miller's Daughter

La Molinera

Too much time, we've been left alone not knowing anythingDemasiado tiempo, nos hemos quedado solos sin saber nada
and we've forgotten the scent of jasminey hemos olvidado el olor a jazmín
from your gardensde tus jardines
and little by little, we've forgotten your language....y poco a poco, hemos olvidado tu idioma....
that of our motheraquel de nuestra madre

Chorus:(2)refrán:(2)
to sing you our pain, to pray for you and protect you from whatpara cantarte nuestro dolor, para rezarte y protejerte de aquello
stays inside of me...que se queda dentro de mí...

we sing you flamenco, music always has its roots..te cantamos flamenco, música en cada una siempre tiene su raíces..
the angel never came down so low to reach younunca el ángel bajó tanto para llegar a ti

(2)never the color of the sea, the white lime of your house(2)nunca color del mar de su cosa la blanca cal de tu casa
and the color of the earthy el color de la tierra
the blue of your sky has always been so dark.el azul de tu cielo siempre ha sido tan oscuro.

I write you this song..Te escribo esta canción..
so you know about mepara que sepas de mi
Chorus:(2)refrán:(2)

(2)the miller's daughter...has a key with which she locks and unlocks...(2)la molinera...tiene una llave con la que cierra con la que abre...
and to the sound of midnight, my little one, I go with him...y al son de la medianoche chiquita mía me voy con él...

(2)little flowers of the field..and olé and olé(2)florecillas del campo..y olé y olé
to her head and olé and olé(3)a su cabeza y olé y olé(3)
