Translation of the song lyrics La Violetera - Nana Mouskouri

La Violetera (original)

Como aves precursoras de primavera
En Madrid aparecen las violeteras
Que pregonando parecen golondrinas
Que van piando, que van piando
Llévelo usted señorito que no vale más que un real
Cómpreme usted este ramito
Cómpreme usted este ramito
Pa' lucirlo en el ojal
Son sus ojos alegres, su faz risueña
Lo que se dice un tipo de madrileña
Neta y castiza que si entorna los ojos
Te cauteriza, te cauteriza
Llévelo usted señorito que no vale mas que un real
Cómpreme usted este ramito
Cómpreme usted este ramito
Pa' lucirlo en el ojal
Cómpreme usted este ramito
Cómpreme usted este ramito
Pa' lucirlo en el ojal

La Violetera (translation)

Like heralding birds of spring
In Madrid the violeteras appear
That proclaiming they seem like swallows
That they are chirping, that they are chirping
Take it, young gentleman, who is not worth more than a real
buy me this bouquet
buy me this bouquet
To show it off in the buttonhole
It's her happy eyes, her smiling face
What is said a type of Madrilenian
Neta and castiza that if she narrows her eyes
She cauterizes you, she cauterizes you
Take it, young gentleman, who is not worth more than a real
buy me this bouquet
buy me this bouquet
To show it off in the buttonhole
buy me this bouquet
buy me this bouquet
To show it off in the buttonhole
