Below, I translated the lyrics of the song No Permita la Virgen by Joaquin Sabina from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
No permita la virgen que tengas poder
Do not allow the virgin that you have power
Sobre lágrimas, egos, haciendas,
About tears, egos, estates,
Cuando labio sin ánima quieran
When lip without soul they want
Quererte al contado liquida la tienda
Loving you in cash liquidates the store
No te pases un pelo de listo,
Don't be too clever,
No inviertas en cristos, no te hagas el tonto,
Don't invest in Christs, don't play dumb,
Las hogueras a primera vista cuché
The bonfires at first sight I caught
De revista, se apagan bien pronto
Magazine, they go out very soon
El caballo de Atilo no sabe trotar
Attilo's horse doesn't know how to trot
Sin hollar azulejos silvestres,
Without treading on wild tiles,
Los vencejos con ánimo de molestar
Swifts with the intention of disturbing
Coleccionan estatuas ecuestres
They collect equestrian statues
Cosas de quita y pon,
removable things,
Mariposas de sangre marrón,
blood brown butterflies,
Carnavales en los arrabales
Carnivals in the suburbs
De mi corazón
From my heart
La belleza es un rabo de nube
beauty is a cloud tail
Que sube de dos en dos las escaleras,
That goes up the stairs two by two,
Un carné exclusivo de socio
An exclusive membership card
Del pingüe negocio de la primavera,
From the fat business of spring,
Un barril de cerveza que mata de sed,
A barrel of beer that kills with thirst,
Un melón con pezón de sandía,
A melon with a watermelon nipple,
Un espía enemigo, un contigo al revés,
An enemy spy, a backwards with you,
Un ombligo de bisutería
A jewelry navel
Cosas de quita y pon,
removable things,
Mariposas de sangre marrón,
blood brown butterflies,
No me quieras querer,
You don't want to love me
No me quieras matar, corazón
Don't want to kill me, sweetheart
Cosas de quita y pon,
removable things,
Mariposas de sangre marrón,
blood brown butterflies,
Cardenales en los funerales
Cardinals at funerals
De mi corazón
From my heart
No permita la virgen que tengas poder
Do not allow the virgin that you have power
