Lyrics and translation Luar Na Lubre - A Carolina

A Carolina

A saia da Carolina,
Ten un lagarto pintado;
Cando a Carolina baila,
O lagarto dalle ó rabo.

Bailaches Carolina?
Bailei, si señor!
Dime con quen bailaches?
Bailei co meu amor
Bailaches, Carolina?
Bailei, si señor!

A Carolina é unha tola
Que todo fai ó revés;
Véstese pola cabeza
E éspese polos pés

Bailaches Carolina?
Bailei no cuartel!
Dime con quen bailaches?
Bailei co coronel
Bailaches, Carolina?
Bailei, si señor!

O señor cura non baila
Porque tén unha coroa.
Baile, señor cura, baile,
Que Dios todo llo perdoa.

Bailaches Carolina?
Bailei, si señor!
Dime con quen bailaches?
Bailei co meu Xosé
Bailaches, Carolina?
Bailei, si señor!

Bailaches Carolina?
Bailei, si señor!

A Carolina

Carolina's skirt,
Has a lizard painted;
When Carolina dances,
The lizard gives her its tail.

Did you dance, Carolina?
yes, sir, I danced!
Tell me with whom you danced?
I danced with my love
Did you dance, Carolina?
yes, sir, I danced!

Carolina is a fool
Who does everything backwards;
She gets dressed by her head
And undresses by her feet

Did you dance, Carolina?
I danced in the barracks!
Tell me with whom you danced?
I danced with the colonel
Did you dance, Carolina?
yes, sir, I danced!

The priest does not dance
Because he has a crown.
Dance, priest, dance,
That God forgives you all.

Did you dance, Carolina?
yes, sir, I danced!
Tell me with whom you danced?
I danced with my Jose
Did you dance, Carolina?
yes, sir, I danced!

Did you dance, Carolina?
yes, sir, I danced!
