Granada, calle de Elvira (con Manzanita y Luis Habichuela) (Fandangos de Granada)(original) |
En un viejo barrio de estirpe agarena |
De aquellos tan brujos que hay en Graná |
Vivió una mocita de cara morena |
Pelo azabache y tez bronceá |
Un palio de flores era su ventana |
Pa tos los mocitos que iban a rondar |
Pero en los amores, aquella sultana |
Era tan bonita como desgraciá |
Y una noche misteriosa |
Y de silencio escuchó |
Esta coplilla graciosa |
Sin saber quién la cantó |
Dónde habitan las manolas |
Granada, calle Elvira |
Dónde habitan las manolas |
Allí vive quién yo quiero |
En quién pienso a todas horas |
Por ser mi querer primero |
El tiempo pasaba y nadie sabía |
De aquella coplilla, quién fue el cantaor |
Más no faltó alguien que ya suponía |
A Pepe Serrano un buen amador |
El palio de flores que fue su ventana |
Pa tos los mocitos que iban a rondar |
Quedó entristecido pues cierta mañana |
Sin dueña y sin flores lo vieron quedar |
Y aunque verla no pudieron |
Cuando del barrio marchó |
Aseguran que la oyeron |
Entonar esta canción |
A beber agua fresquita |
Me voy a la Plaza Nueva |
A beber agua fresquita |
De la Fuente del Avellano |
Que es la que la sed me quita |
Si me la da mi Serrano |
(translation) |
In an old neighborhood of Agarena lineage |
Of those so witches that are in Graná |
A little girl with a dark face lived |
Black hair and tan complexion |
A canopy of flowers was her window |
Pa tos the kids that were going to be around |
But in love, that sultana |
She was as pretty as disgrace |
and a mysterious night |
And she of silence she listened |
This funny couplet |
Without knowing who sang it |
Where do manolas live? |
Granada, Elvira street |
Where do manolas live? |
Who I want lives there |
Who do I think of all the time? |
For being my love first |
Time passed and no one knew |
Of that coplilla, who was the singer |
More was not missing someone who already supposed |
To Pepe Serrano a good lover |
The canopy of flowers that was his window |
Pa tos the kids that were going to be around |
He was sad because one morning |
Without owner and without flowers they saw him stay |
And although they couldn't see her |
When he left the neighborhood |
They claim they heard it |
sing this song |
To drink cold water |
I'm going to the Plaza Nueva |
To drink cold water |
From the Hazelnut Fountain |
What is it that thirst takes away from me |
If my Serrano gives it to me |
