El Mandil de Carolina

Carolina's apronEl mandil de Carolina
Has a painted lizardTiene un lagarto pintado
When Carolina dancesCuando Carolina baila
The lizard wags its tailEl lagarto menea el rabo
Carolina DancesBailaches Carolina
Dance yes sirBaile si señor
Tell me who you dance withDime con quien bailaches
Dance with my loveBaile con miño amor

The shoe asks for halfEl zapato pide media
The average asks for a shoeLa media pide zapato
A pretty little girlUna muchachita guapa
She also asks for a handsome boyTambién pide un chaval guapo
Carolina DancesBailaches Carolina
Dance yes sirBaile si señor
Tell me who you dance withDime con quien bailaches
Dance with my loveBaile con miño amor

The nightingale when it singsEl ruiseñor cando canta
Put your tail between the goldfinchMete rabo entre jilgueira
I would put it in tooYo también lo metería
On a single girlEn una chica soltera
Carolina DancesBailaches Carolina
Dance yes sirBaile si señor
Tell me who you dance withDime con quien bailaches
Dance with my loveBaile con miño amor

The priest does not danceEl señor cura no baila
Because he has a crownPorque tiene una corona

May God forgive everythingQue Dios todo lo perdona
Carolina DancesBailaches Carolina
Dance yes sirBaile si señor
Tell me who you dance withDime con quien bailaches
Dance with my loveBaile con miño amor
