Romance De Curro El Palmo (original)Romance De Curro El Palmo (translation)
La vida y la muerte Life and death
Bordada en la boca embroidered in the mouth
Tenía Merceditas I had Mary Janes
La del guardarropa The one with the wardrobe
La del guardarropa The one with the wardrobe
Del tablao del «lacio» From the "lacio" tablao
Un gitano falso a fake gypsy
Ex-bufón de palacio Former Palace Jester
Alcahuete noble noble pimp
Que al oír los tiros That when hearing the shots
Recogió sus capas He gathered up his layers
Y se pegó el piro And the pyro hit
Se acabó el jaleo the mess is over
Y el racionamiento and the rationing
Le llenó el bolsillo She filled his pocket
Y montó este invento And he assembled this invention
En donde «el palmo» Where "el span"
Lloró cantando she cried singing
Ay, mi amor Oh my love
Sin ti no entiendo el despertar Without you I don't understand waking up
Ay, mi amor Oh my love
Sin ti mi cama es ancha Without you my bed is wide
Ay, mi amor Oh my love
Que me desvela la verdad that reveals the truth to me
Entre tú y yo, la soledad Between you and me, loneliness
Y un manojillo de escarcha And a handful of frost
Mil veces le pide A thousand times he asks
Y mil veces que «nones» And a thousand times that «nones»
De compartir sueños to share dreams
Cama y macarrones bed and macaroni
Le dice burlona she tells him mockingly
«carita gitana gypsy face
Cómo hacer buen vino how to make good wine
De una cepa enana» From a dwarf strain»
Y Curro se muerde And Curro bites himself
Los labios y calla lips and silence
Pues no hizo la mili Well, she did not do the military
Por no dar la talla For not measuring up
Y quien calla, otorga And who is silent, grants
Como dice el dicho as the saying goes
Y curro se muere And Curro dies
Por ese mal bicho for that bad bug
¡ay!Oh!
quién fuese abrigo who was coat
Pa' andar contigo To walk with you
Buscando el olvido looking for oblivion
Se dio a la bebida she took to drink
Al mus, las quinielas Al mus, the pools
Y en horas perdidas And in wasted hours
Se leyó enterito He read himself whole
A don Marcial Lafuente To Don Marcial Lafuente
Por no ir tras su paso For not going after him
Como un penitente like a penitent
Y una noche, mientras And one night, while
Palmeaba farrucas He clapped farrucas
Se escapó Mercedes Mercedes escaped
Con un «curapupas» With a "curapupas"
De clínica propia From own clinic
Y Rolls de contrabando And Bootleg Rolls
Y entre palma y palma And between palm and palm
Curro fue palmando Curro was clapping
Entre cantares between songs
Por soleares by sunbathing
Quizá fue la pena maybe it was worth it
O falta de hierro Or lack of iron
El caso es que un día The thing is that one day
Nos tocó ir de entierro She had to go to the funeral
Pésames y flores condolences and flowers
Y una lagrimita and a little tear
Que dejó ir la Patro That the Patro let go
Al cerrar la cajita When closing the box
A mano derecha right hand
Según se va al cielo As she goes to heaven
Veréis un tablao You will see a tablao
Que montó frascuelo that she rode Frascuelo
En donde cada noche where every night
Pa' las buenas almas For the good souls
El currito «el palmo» The currito «el span»
Sigue dando palmas keep clapping
Y canta sus males and sing their ills
Por «celestiales»for "heavenly"
