Lyrics of Isla De León - Camarón De La Isla, Paco de Lucía, Ramón de Algeciras

Isla De León (original)

Ay, lerele…
Mira que bonitos son
Estos cantes de cantiñas
Mira que bonitos son
Se cantan en Cái y los Puertos
Y en la Isla de León
Y en la Isla de León
Y en la Isla de León
Porque del puente Suazo
No pasó Napoleon
Tierra mas alegria
Y en España no la hay
Tierra de mas alegria
Que en ese rincon de Cái
Donde nace Andalucia
Que en ese rincon de Cái
Donde nace Andalucia
Miro que bonito van
Miro que bonito van
Los barquitos de la Isla
Pal estrecho Gibraltar
Y relució un lucero
En la bahia de Cái
Y relució un lucero
Y eran tus ojitos negros
Que me decían te quiero
Miro que bonito van
Los ojitos de tu cara
Los ojitos de tu cara
Si yo tuviera la suerte
Que solo a mi me miraran

(translation)

Oh, read him...
look how pretty they are
These songs of cantiñas
look how pretty they are
They are sung in Cái and the Ports
And on the Island of Leon
And on the Island of Leon
And on the Island of Leon
Because of the Suazo bridge
Napoleon did not pass
earth more joy
And in Spain there isn't
land of more joy
That in that corner of Cái
Where Andalusia is born
That in that corner of Cái
Where Andalusia is born
I look how beautiful they are
I look how beautiful they are
The little boats of the Island
Gibraltar Strait Pal
And a star shone
In Cái Bay
And a star shone
And they were your little black eyes
What they told me I love you
I look how beautiful they are
The eyes of your face
The eyes of your face
if i were lucky
That they only look at me
