Lola Flores "La faraona" lyrics

Translation to:enhr

La faraona

Era una mocita, no sabía del mundotenía dos ojazo'...pero nada ma'...No miraba a nadie porque yo era mía ,Tan mía como el cielo que me hizo cantar.

Por aquel desprecio que yo regalabaAlguien "La Faraona" me empezó a llamar,Y yo no hice caso de aquella lisonjaYo seguí mis pasos sin mirar atrás.

Pero un día me enamoréY se desbordó mi pena,Y se volvió llanto y sangreToda mi carne morena.

Desde entonces lo juréLa "Faraona" se divierteY "Faraona" seguiréEn la vida y en la muerte.

Por aquella risa de mis castañuelasPor mis taconcitos hechos de cristal,Por la sangre mora que corre en mis venas,Yo puedo jurarlo, todo me da igual.

Todos los piropos, todos los requiebros,Eran un lenguaje pa' mi familiar,Despreciando rangos, joyas y dinero,Yo seguí mis pasos sin mirar atrás.

Pero un día me enamoréY se desbordó mi pena,Y se volvió llanto y sangreToda mi carne morena.

Desde entonces lo juréLa "Faraona" se divierteY "Faraona" seguiréEn la vida y en la muerte.

La faraona

I was a lass, I didn't know about the world,I had two big eyes, "but nothing more"...I didn't look to anybody, because I was mine,so mine as the sky that made me sing.

For that disdain I used to give away,somebody started to call me "La Faraona",and I didn't pay attention to that compliment.I followed my way without looking back.

But one day I fell in loveand my sorrow overflew,and all my dark fleshbecame weeping and blood.

Since then I swore,"La Faraona" has a good timeand I'll keep being "Faraona"in life and death.

For that laughter from my castanets,for my little heels made of glass ,for the Moorish blood flowing in my veins,I can swear nothing matters to me.

Every flirtatious remark, every love compliment,were a familiar language for me.Despising status, jewels and money,I followed my way without looking back.

But one day I fell in loveand my sorrow overflew,and all my dark fleshbecame weeping and blood.

Since then I swore,"La Faraona" has a good timeand I'll keep being "Faraona"in life and death.
