Romance de Curro "El Palmo"

La vida y la muertebordada en la bocatenía Merceditasla del guardarropa.La del guardarropadel tablao del "Lacio",un gitano falsoex-bufón de palacio.

Alcahuete nobleque al oír los tirosrecogió sus capasy se pegó el piro.Se acabó el jaleoy el racionamientole llenó el bolsilloy montó este invento,en donde "El Palmo"lloró cantando...

Ay, mi amor,sin ti no entiendo el despertar.Ay, mi amor,sin ti mi cama es ancha.Ay, mi amorque me desvela la verdad.Entre tú y yo, la soledady un manojillo de escarcha.

Mil veces le pide...y mil veces que "nones"de compartir sueñoscama y macarrones.Le dice burlona......"Carita gitana,cómo hacer buen vinode una cepa enana".

Y Curro se muerdelos labios y callapues no hizo la milipor no dar la talla.Y quien calla, otorga,como dice el dicho,y Curro se muerepor ese mal bicho.

¡Ay! quién fuese abrigopa' andar contigo...

Buscando el olvidose dio a la bebida,al mus, las quinielas...Y en horas perdidasse leyó enteritoa Don Marcial Lafuente,por no ir tras su pasocomo un penitente.

Y una noche, mientraspalmeaba farrucas,se escapó Mercedescon un "curapupas"de clínica propiay Rolls de contrabandoy entre palma y palmaCurro fue palmando.

Entre cantarespor soleares.

Quizá fue la penao falta de hierro...El caso es que un díanos tocó ir de entierro.Pésames y floresy una lagrimitaque dejó ir la Patroal cerrar la cajita.

A mano derechasegún se va al cielo,veréis un tablaoque montó Frascuelo,en donde cada nochepa' las buenas almasel Currito "El Palmo"sigue dando palmas.

Y canta sus malespor "celestiales".

The Ballad of Curro "El Palmo"

Life and deathembroidered in the mouthhad Merceditasof the wardrobe.Of the wardrobeof the tablao of "El Lacio"a fake gipsyex-jester of palace.

A noble pimpwho when he heard shotshe picked his capesand ran away.The party was overand the rationingfilled her pocketand set on this invention,where "El Palmo"cried singing...

Oh, my love,without you I don't understand awakeningOh, my love,without you my bed is wide.Oh, my lovethat keeps me awake honestly.Between you and me, there's lonelinessand a handful of frost.

A thousand times he asks...and thousand times she says noto share dreamsbed and macarroni.He says playfuly......"gipsy face,how to make good winefrom a small vine".

And Curro biteshis lips and shuts upbecause he didn't went to draftfor not being good enough.And silence gives consent,like the saying says,and Curro is dyingfor that bad bug.

Oh! Who could be a coatto go with you...

Looking to forget herhe gave in to the drink,to the cards, the gambling...And in the hours losthe read fullyMarcial Lafuente's books 1for not going behind herlike a penitent.

And one night, whilehe was clapping by farrucas,Mercedes scapedwith a doctorwith his own clinicand a smuggled Rollsand among claps and clapsCurro was dying.

Among singingby soleares.

Maybe was the sorrowor the lack of iron...The thing is that one daywe had to go to the burial.Condolences and flowersand a little tearthat the boss lady let goby closing the coffin.

Turning rightwhen going to heaven,you'll see a tablaothat Frascuelo set up,where every nightfor the good soulsel Currito "El Palmo"keeps clapping.

And sings his painsby "celestiales" 2
