Translation of the song lyrics Barrio De Santa María - Camarón De La Isla

Barrio De Santa María (original)

Que desgraciaíto fuiste
Ay barrio de santa maría
Un barrio con tanta gracia
Ay qué de bombas tu recibiste
Que con la luz del cigarro
Yo vi el molino
Se me apagó el cigarro
Perdí el camino
Aunque pongan en tu puerta
Cañones de artillería
Tengo que pasar por esto
Aunque me cueste la vida
Una tórtola canta
En un almendro
Y en su cante decía
Viva mi dueño

Barrio De Santa María (translation)

what a wretch you were
Oh neighborhood of Santa Maria
A neighborhood with so much grace
Oh what bombs you received
That with the light of the cigarette
I saw the mill
My cigarette went out
I lost my way
Even if they put on your door
artillery guns
I have to go through this
Even if it costs my life
a turtledove sings
in an almond tree
And she in her cante of her said
long live my owner
