Isabel Pantoja "Cinco Farolas" lyrics

Translation to:enfrit

Cinco Farolas

Yo no escucho lo que dicenLas lenguas de vecindonasPorque de sobra yo séPor quien está su persona.

Cinco luceros azulesAlumbran cinco farolasDesde su casa a mi casa,Desde su boca a mi boca.

Cinco añitos que le quiero,Cinco añitos que me adora.La mala gente, qué sabe¿Qué saben de nuestras cosas?

Sí, yo sé que me quiere como le quiero¿A qué darle tres cuartos al pregonero?Desde su puerta misma hasta mi puertaLa veredita, madre,No cría hierba… no cría hierba.: : : : :Yo no quiero ni saberloVecina, cierra la bocaY no me venga a decirQue él va a casarse con otra.

Los cinco añitos cabales,Queriéndole hora tras horaSon un cordel en mi cuelloQue la garganta me ahoga.

Con carbones encendidosQue le quemen esa bocaAl que juró tantas vecesQue estaba por mi persona.

Se apagaron las cinco, cinco farolasPa’ que nadie me vea llorando a solas¡Ay que penita madre! madre que penaLa veredita verde, cuaja de hierba,Ay, cuaja de hierba…

(bis)

Five Lampposts

I don't listen to whatThe gossip mongers sayBecause I know full wellWho he favors1

Five bright blue starsLight five lamppostsFrom his house to my houseFrom his mouth to my mouth

Five years have I loved himFive years has he adored meBad people, what do they know?What do they know of us?

Yes, I know that he loves me as I love himWhy go tell those gossipy girls?2The little path right from his very doorTo my door, motherIt doesn't grow grass... it doesn't grow grass3

I don't even want to knowNeighbor of mine, you'd best shut your mouth4And don't come to tell meThat he's going to marry another woman

Five sensible yearsLoving him hour after hourThey're a rope around my neckThat chokes my throat

I hope they burn his mouthWith lit coals; that mouthBy which he swore so many timesThat he favored me5

The five, five lampposts went outSo that nobody sees me crying by my lonesomeAh, what a shame, mother! Mother, what a pity!6The little green path is filled with grassOh, it's filled with grass
