Translation of the song lyrics Violetas Imperiales (1953) - Luis Mariano

Violetas Imperiales (1953) (original)

Sabes que ya no habrá primavera
Si tu no estás aquí violetera
La primavera ha venido y yo sé por qué ha sido
Entre las flores que ofreces es como una flor
Piensa que en esta corte francesa
Eres mas que gitana princesa
Violeta de España, tú en tierra extraña
Vives para el recuerdo de aquel amor
Yo tuve un ruiseñor que llegó a suspirar
Para qué quiero amor si nadie me va amar
Ramito de violetas que luzca en el ojal
Me siento emperador de violeta imperial
Era un cielo de primavera
Cuando me dijo la violetera:
«Cómpreme usted mis violetas que son las primeras
Van a traerle la suerte su suerte es mi flor.»
Vuelve a tu rincón de la Alhambra
Donde copia la luna tus zambras
Violeta de España, tu en tierra extraña
Vives dando sentido a mi amor, amor

Violetas Imperiales (1953) (translation)

You know there will be no more spring
If you are not here violetera
Spring has come and I know why it has been
Among the flowers you offer is like a flower
Think that in this French court
You are more than a gypsy princess
Violeta from Spain, you in a strange land
You live for the memory of that love
I had a nightingale that came to sigh
Why do I want love if nobody is going to love me?
Bouquet of violets that shines in the buttonhole
I feel emperor of imperial violet
It was a spring sky
When the violet girl told me:
"Buy me my violets, which are the first
They are going to bring you luck, your luck is my flower.”
Go back to your corner of the Alhambra
Where the moon copies your zambras
Violeta from Spain, you in a strange land
You live giving meaning to my love, love
