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