Lyrics of La Zarzamora - Amália Rodrigues

La Zarzamora (original)

En el café de Levante, entre palmas y alegría
Cantaba la Zarzamora
Se lo pusieron de mote porque dicen que tenía
Los ojos como la mora
Le habló primero a un tratante, y olé
Y luego fue de un marqué
Que la llenó de brillantes, y olé
De la cabeza a los pié
Decía la gente que si era de hielo
Que si de los hombres se estaba burlando
Hasta que una noche, con rabia de celos
A la Zarzamora pillaron llorando
¿Qué tiene la Zarzamora
Que a todas horas llora que llora
Por los rincones?
Ella que siempre reía
Y presumía de que partía
Los corazones
«Lleva anillo de casao»
Me vinieron a desí
Pero ya lo había besao
Y era tarde para mí
Que publiquen mi pecao
Y el pesar que me devora
Y que tos me den de lao
Al saber del querer desgrasiao
Que embrujó a la Zarzamora
Que publiquen mi pecao
Y el pesar que me devora
Y que tos me den de lao
Al saber del querer desgrasiao
Que embrujó a la Zarzamora

(translation)

In the Levante cafe, between palms and joy
The blackberry sang
They gave him a nickname because they say he had
eyes like blackberry
She spoke first to a trafficker, and olé
And then it was from a marquis
That filled it with diamonds, and olé
From head to toe
People said that if she was made of ice
What if he was making fun of men
Until one night, in a rage of jealousy
Zarzamora was caught crying
What does the Blackberry have
That at all hours cries that cries
around the corners?
She who always laughed
And she bragged that she was leaving
The hearts
"He wears a wedding ring"
they came to me desi
But she had already kissed him
And it was late for me
that they publish my sin
And the sorrow that devours me
And what a cough give me lao
When knowing about wanting to be miserable
That bewitched the Blackberry
that they publish my sin
And the sorrow that devours me
And what a cough give me lao
When knowing about wanting to be miserable
That bewitched the Blackberry
