Lyrics and translation Carmen Linares - Banderas Republicanas

Banderas Republicanas

De mare, de mare
De color de cera mare
De color de cera mare
Tengo yo mis propias carnes
Que me ha puesto tu querer
Que no me conoce nadie
Y Que me ha puesto tu querer
Y Que no me conoce nadie
Y pasa un encajero
Mare yo me voy con él
Que tiene mucho salero
Mare yo me voy con él
Ay, que tiene mucho salero.
Al pasar por tu casita un día
Al pasar por donde tú vivías
Que me acordaba yo de aquellos ratitos, ay
Que yo contigo tenía
Triana, Triana
Qué bonita está Triana
Qué bonita está Triana
Qué bonita está Triana
Cuando le ponen al puente
Banderas republicanas
Que cuando le ponen al puente
Las banderitas republicanas
Y mi mare me dijo a mí
Que un querer de poco tiempo
Ay, no le criaba raíz
Que un querer de poquito tiempo
Y no le criaba raíz
Mi marío no está aquí
Que está en la guerra de Francia
Y mi marío no está aquí
Que está en la guerra de Francia
Y buscando con un candil
A una pícara mulata
Y al gurugú, y al gurugú, y al gurugú gua
Al gurugú, y al gurugú, gurugú gua
Y debajito del puente
Sonaba el agua, ay
Eran las lavanderas,
Las panaeras como lavaban
Ay, eran las lavanderas,
Las panaeras como lavaban
Si quieres que te quiera
Dame doblones, dame doblones
Son moneas que alegran
Y a los corazones
Y no te metas en quereres
Porque se pasan muchas fatigas, ay, mira
Y si vivo con pena
Estoy muerta estando viva
Calabacín, calabazón
Y a este bichito me lo mato yo
Calabacín, calabazón
Y a este bichito que lo mato yo

Republican Flags

By the sea, by the sea
The color of wax, sea
The color of wax, sea
I have my own flesh
That your love has given me
That no one knows me
And That your love has given me
And That no one knows me
And a lace weaver passes by
Mother, I'm going with him
He has a lot of charm
Mother, I'm going with him
Oh, he has a lot of charm
As I passed by your house one day
As I passed by where you lived
I remembered those moments, oh
That I had with you
Triana, Triana
How beautiful Triana is
How beautiful Triana is
How beautiful Triana is
When they put on the bridge
Republican flags
That when they put on the bridge
The Republican flags
And my mother said to me
That a short-lived love
Oh, it wouldn't take root
That a short-lived love
And it wouldn't take root
My husband is not here
He is in the war in France
And my husband is not here
He is in the war in France
And searching with a candle
For a mischievous mulatto woman
And to the gurugú, and to the gurugú, and to the gurugú gua
To the gurugú, and to the gurugú, gurugú gua
And under the bridge
The water sounded, oh
It was the washerwomen,
The bakers, how they washed
Oh, it was the washerwomen,
The bakers, how they washed
If you want me to love you
Give me gold coins, give me gold coins
They are coins that bring joy
And to hearts
And don't get involved in love affairs
Because you go through a lot of hardships, oh, look
And if I live with pain
I am dead while I am still alive
Zucchini, zucchini
And this little creature I kill it myself
Zucchini, zucchini
And this little creature I kill it myself
