La Gitana

The Gypsy

La Gitana

A rejected womanUna mujer rechazada
Is more dangerousEs más peligrosa
Than a wild animalQue un animal salvaje
You must be careful, my sonDebes tener cuidado hijito mío
So that you don't end upPa' que no te pase
Like what happened to my brother-in-lawLo que le paso, a un cuñado mío
He left his wifeDejo a su mujer
Like the river leavesComo deja el río
The water runningEl agua correr
Through the fieldsPor el sembradío

He was already tiredEl ya estaba cansado
Of so much jealousy, so much intrigueDe tantos celos de tanta intriga
And one day he went to the seaY un día se fue a la mar
He went swimmingSe metió a nadar
Met a friendConoció a una amiga
Who made him singQue le hizo cantar
And forget his sorrowY olvidar su pena
And he fell in love with that good womanY se enamoró de esa mujer buena
And thus he was savedY así se salvó
From that cruel sentenceDe esa cruel condena

They went dancing and dancingSe fueron baile y baile
Dancing and dancingBaile y que baile
To San Juan townA San Juan pueblito
And there he saw the morningY ahí miro la mañana
And a gypsy with beautiful eyesY una gitana de ojos bonitos
Who told him comeQue le dijo ven
For a coinPor una moneda
I will tell you what awaits youTe voy a decir lo que a ti te espera
You will be happyVas hacer feliz
Like you used to beComo tú antes eras

Love each other as you areÁmense tal como son
He who perseveres achievesEl que persevera alcanza
Where there are no jealousies, there is loveDonde celos no hay amor
Do not be distrustfulNo se tengan desconfianza
Do not be deceivedNo se dejen engañar
Because everything is in vainPorque todo es por demás

No one belongs to anyoneNadie es de nadie
Do not forgetNo se les olvide
That man and womanQue hombre y mujer
Are born freeHan nacido libres

The other one asks you to come backLa otra te pide que vuelvas
As soon as possible to her sideMas que pronto a su lado
But you are with this onePero tu estas de esta otra
Totally in loveTotalmente enamorado

She asks you to forgive herTe dice que la perdones
For everything she did to youTodo lo que ella te hizo
You are not resentfulTu no eres rencoroso
Nor forgetfulNi tampoco olvidadizo

Oh, no, no, noAy, no, no, no
Who's going to come backQuien va a volver
Not even if I were crazyNi loco que yo estuviera
To come back, not to come backQue volver, ni que volver

Oh, no, no, noAy, no, no, no
Who's going to come backQuien va a volver
Not even if in this world there wereNi que en este mundo hubiera
Nothing else but that womanNada más que esa mujer

That one is stubbornAquella es una testaruda
Ignorant and arrogantIgnorante y prepotente
Capricious and hot-temperedCaprichosa y corajuda
Ill-tempered and recklessMal pensada e imprudente

This one, on the other hand, is lovingEsta en cambio es amorosa
Intuitive, intelligentIntuitiva, inteligente
Helpful and affectionateServicial y cariñosa
And also obedientY además es obediente

Oh, no, no, noAy, no, no, no
Who's going to come backQuien va a volver
Not even if I were crazyNi loco que yo estuviera
To come back, not to come backQue volver, ni que volver

Oh, no, no, noAy, no, no, no
Who's going to come backQuien va a volver
Not even if in this world there wereNi que en este mundo hubiera
Nothing else but that womanNada más que esa mujer
