La Flor de Estambul

The Flower of Istanbul

La Flor de Estambul

Debuted in Paris, the flower of Istanbul,Debutó en paris la flor de estambul,
Started to dance and everything fell silent.Comenzó a bailar y todo se quedó en silencio.

Light in iridescent, purple and indigo,Luz en tornasol, púrpura y añil,
From her winged hand to the grace of her chest.De su mano alada hasta la gracia de su pecho.

And who wouldn't give their life for a dream¿y quién no da la vida por un sueño
Of a goddess sculpted by genius?De diosa modelada por el genio?

Neither the sultan's favorite nor a slave for saleNi favorita del sultán ni esclava en venta
At the door of the East,En la puerta de oriente,
She is the star of Pigalle,Ella es la estrella de "pigalle",
The dancer who defied her fate.La danzarina que burló su suerte.

And who wouldn't give their life to own¿y quién no da la vida por ser dueño
The air that stirs behind her ego?Del aire que se agita tras su ego?

To conquer the Eiffel TowerA conquistar la "tour eiffel"
Treading on the pride of the West,Pisando la soberbia de occidente,
She is the star of Pigalle,Ella es la estrella de "pigalle",
The dancer who struck me dead.La danzarina que me hirió de muerte.

And who wouldn't give their life for a dream¿y quién no da la vida por un sueño
Of a goddess sculpted by genius?De diosa modelada por el genio?
