La Filipina Lyrics in English Guitarricadelafuente
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Filipina by Guitarricadelafuente from Spanish to English.
Ojalá no abandone la suerte
I hope luck doesn't abandon me
Traigo ramo' de espiga y jazmín
I bring bouquets of wheat and jasmine
Cuando yo me arrimaba a la orilla
When I approached the shore
Escuchaba las voces, cantando y decir
I heard voices singing and saying
'Mira
"Look
Mira el Ebro, ha firmao' un juramento
Look at the Ebro, it has made a vow
Para morir con el mar'
To die with the sea"
Me solían decir
They used to tell me
Los sueño' de agua fría
The dreams of cold water
Me solían decir, los luceros que vi
They used to tell me, the stars that I saw
Por sus aguas corrían
Running through its waters
Tú no tienes mantón
You don't have a shawl
Tú no tienes Manila
You don't have a Manila shawl
Quieres ser Emperatriz
You want to be Empress
De las Filipinas
Of the Philippines
Yo no tengo un real
I don't have a penny
No tengo concha fina
I don't have a fine shell
Debajo del tendal
Underneath the clothesline
Nos haremos cositas
We'll do little things
La Virgen del pilar dice
The Virgin of the pillar says
No quiere ser francesa
She doesn't want to be French
Quiere ser capitana
She wants to be a captain
En la tropa aragonesa
In the Aragonese troop
Tú no tienes mantón
You don't have a shawl
Tú no tienes Manila
You don't have a Manila shawl
Quieres ser Emperatriz
You want to be Empress
De las Filipinas
Of the Philippines
Yo no tengo un real
I don't have a penny
No tengo concha fina
I don't have a fine shell
Beberé todo el río
I will drink the entire river
Para llegar a tu verita
To reach your side
