Lyrics of La Dulce Mimi - Raphael

La Dulce Mimi (original)

No se sabe donde suena un acordeon
Ladra un perro loco a una nube gris
Canta un marinero que anda sin timon
Y pasa con sus flores la dulce Mimi
Hay un olor fuerte que llego del mar
Con su andar pesado, torpe y de barril
Sin hombre que pueda de nuevo estrenar
Pasa, pasa con sus flores la dulce Mimi
La dulce Mimi
Manchon de carmin
Boca desdentada
La dulce Mimi
Amor de serrin
En cama sudada
La noche vendra y sola estara
Sola, sin hombre y sin pan
?Ay?
?Ay que pena me da!
La dulce Mimi
Del ayer conserva un negro manton
Y un retrato antiguo que alumbra un candil
Igual que un fantasma por el callejon
Pasa con sus flores la dulce Mimi
Al primer borracho que encontro al pasar
Se ofrecio lo mismo que una vieja actriz
Con los pies de plomo y la soledad
Pasa con sus flores la dulce Mimi

(translation)

It is not known where an accordion sounds
A mad dog barks at a gray cloud
A sailor who walks without a rudder sings
And the sweet Mimi passes with her flowers
There is a strong smell that came from the sea
With his heavy, clumsy, barrel-like walk
Without a man who can brand new
Come in, come in with her flowers, sweet Mimi
sweet mimi
stain of carmine
toothless mouth
sweet mimi
sawdust love
in sweaty bed
The night will come and she will be alone
Alone, without a man and without bread
?Oh?
Oh, what a pity it gives me!
sweet mimi
From yesterday she keeps a black shawl
And an old portrait that lights up a lamp
Just like a ghost down the alley
Sweet Mimi passes with her flowers
To the first drunk that he found when passing
She offered herself the same as an old actress
With leaden feet and loneliness
Sweet Mimi passes with her flowers
