Lyrics of Samaritanas Del Amor - Jose Luis Perales

Samaritanas Del Amor (original)

A esas chicas alegres de la calle
Que derraman perfumes en la noche
Con las alas abiertas, por si hay
Alguien para invitarlas a alcanzar la luna
Mariposas de escarcha y de cristal
Gaviotas sin rumbo, que al pasar me miran
Samaritanas del amor
Que van dejando el corazón
Entre la esquina y el café
Entre las sombras del jardín
O en la penumbra de un burdel
De madrugada
Muñecas frágiles de amor
Que dan a cambio de una flor el alma
A esas chicas alegres de la calle
Que disfrazan de brillo su tristeza
Compañeras eternas del farol
Del semáforo en rojo y del ladrón
Que sueñan
La llegada de alguien, que tal vez
Les regale un perfume de clavel
Y las quiera
Samaritanas del amor,…

(translation)

To those happy girls on the street
That spill perfumes in the night
With open wings, just in case
Someone to invite them to reach the moon
Frost and Crystal Butterflies
Gulls without direction, that look at me when they pass by
samaritans of love
that are leaving the heart
Between the corner and the cafe
In the shadows of the garden
Or in the gloom of a brothel
early in the morning
fragile love dolls
That they give in exchange for a flower the soul
To those happy girls on the street
That disguise their sadness with brightness
Eternal lantern companions
Of the red light and the thief
what do you dream
The arrival of someone, who perhaps
I gave them a carnation perfume
and she loves them
Samaritans of love...
