Lyrics and translation Daniel Toro - Entre el Mandarinal




Entre el Mandarinal
Amongst the Mandarins
Antes de los terraplenes
Before the embankments
Pasando apenas Yeruá,
Just past Yeruá,
Debajo de un naranjal
Under an orange grove
Juraste quererme más.
You swore you loved me more.
Amarillean las pintonas
The spotted leaves turn yellow
Un verde frutal por cielo
A fruity green in the sky
Al descuido te di un beso
Without thinking I gave you a kiss
Lindo gustito a pomelo.
A delicious taste of grapefruit.
Jugamos con las naranjas,
We played with the oranges,
Pomelos y mandarinas,
Grapefruits and mandarins,
Cuando te pedí un casquito
When I asked you for a slice
Me diste toronja y lima.
You gave me grapefruit and lime.
A pesar del desengaño
In spite of the disappointment
Nunca te olvidé mi china,
I never forgot you, my golden girl,
Perfumada tengo el alma
My soul is filled with the fragrance
Con olor a mandarinas.
Of the scent of mandarins.
Cuando nombran a Concordia
When they mention Concordia
Siento un agrio de limón
I feel a sourness of lemon
Que me hace arrugar la cara
That makes me grimace
Y encoger el corazón.
And my heart sink.
Un lagrimón se desliza
A tear rolls down my face
Tengo en los ojos tu arena,
My eyes are filled with your sand,
Bello paisaje arbolado
Beautiful wooded landscape
En el fondo de una pena.
At the bottom of a heartache.
Jugamos con las naranjas,
We played with the oranges,
Pomelos y mandarinas,
Grapefruits and mandarins,
Cuando te pedí un casquito
When I asked you for a slice
Me diste toronja y lima.
You gave me grapefruit and lime.
A pesar del desengaño
In spite of the disappointment
Nunca te olvidé mi china,
I never forgot you, my golden girl,
Perfumada tengo el alma
My soul is filled with the fragrance
Con olor a mandarinas.
Of the scent of mandarins.
