Lyrics of Tani - Carlos Cano

Tani (original)

A las cuevas que hay en grana
Ha llegao de tierra lejana
Como reina en carroza dora
Una niña princesa gitana
Tani le llaman por nombre
Y es mas bonita que un sol
No camela corona real
Que camela gitano español
Su blanco pañuelo
Las rosas tendrá
Que no hay otra novia
Mas guapa y honra
Ay tani que mi tani que mi tani
Ay tani que mi tani que mi ta
Ay tani mi tani morena
Que corre en tus venas la sangre real
Ay tani que mi tani que mi tani
Ay tani que mi tani que mi ta
Ay tani mi tani morena
Gitana mas buena no ha habio ni habrá
Una y una dos… dos y una tres
No salen las cuentas porque falta un churumbel
Hoy los novios se van a casar
Donde tiene su trono la zambra
Y la fiesta se va a celebrar
En el patio mejor de la alhambra
Llega de to el mundo entero
La caravana cale
Y la palma del rumbo le dan
A la isla tirana y jerez
Los payos reales
Le van a comprar
Coronas de plata
Con perlas del mar

(translation)

To the caves that are in grana
He has arrived from a distant land
Like queen in golden carriage
A gypsy princess girl
Tani they call him by name
And she is prettier than a sun
No royal crown camela
What a Spanish gypsy camela
His white handkerchief
The roses will have
That there is no other girlfriend
more beautiful and honor
Ay tani que mi tani que mi tani
Ay tani que mi tani que mi aunt
Ay tani my brunette tani
That royal blood runs in your veins
Ay tani que mi tani que mi tani
Ay tani que mi tani que mi aunt
Ay tani my brunette tani
There has never been a better gypsy nor will there ever be
One and one two…two and one three
The accounts do not come out because a churumbel is missing
Today the bride and groom are getting married
Where the zambra has its throne
And the party is going to celebrate
In the best patio of the Alhambra
It comes from all over the world
The caravan stalls
And the palm of the course they give
To the island of Tirana and Jerez
the royal clowns
they are going to buy
silver crowns
with pearls of the sea
