Lyrics and translation Mocedades - La Otra España




La Otra España
The Other Spain
Con sombrero de ala ancha
With a wide-brimmed hat
Y un clavel en la solapa
And a carnation in his lapel
Un don Juan se hizo a la mar
A Don Juan set sail
Con la tierra a sus espaldas
With the land at his back
La aventura en su mirada
Adventure in his gaze
Su guitarra y un cantar
His guitar and a song
Oh marinero
Oh sailor
Oh marinero
Oh sailor
De su capa hizo un poncho
He turned his cape into a poncho
De su guitarra, un charango
His guitar into a charango
De su tierra, otra mar
His land into another sea
eres la otra España
You are the other Spain
La que huele a caña, tabaco y brea
The one that smells of sugarcane, tobacco, and tar
Eres la perezosa
You are the lazy one
La de piel dorada, la marinera
The one with golden skin, the sailor
Ah ah ah marinera
Ah ah ah sailor girl
Ah ah ah marinera
Ah ah ah sailor girl
Entre notas de guitarra
Between guitar notes
Les hablaba de su tierra
He spoke to them of his land
De un clavel y de un balcón
Of a carnation and a balcony
Donde aún llora una niña
Where a girl still cries
Esperando a aquél que un día
Waiting for the one who one day
Se olvidó decirle adiós
Forgot to say goodbye
Oh marinero
Oh sailor
Oh marinero
Oh sailor
Con sombrero de ala ancha
With a wide-brimmed hat
Y un clavel en la solapa
And a carnation in his lapel
Un don Juan se hizo a la mar
A Don Juan set sail
eres la otra España
You are the other Spain
La que huele a caña, tabaco y brea
The one that smells of sugarcane, tobacco, and tar
Eres la perezosa
You are the lazy one
La de piel dorada, la marinera
The one with golden skin, the sailor
Ah ah ah marinera
Ah ah ah sailor girl
Ah ah ah marinera
Ah ah ah sailor girl
eres la otra España
You are the other Spain
La que huele a caña, tabaco y brea
The one that smells of sugarcane, tobacco, and tar
Eres la perezosa
You are the lazy one
La de piel dorada, la marinera
The one with golden skin, the sailor
eres la otra España
You are the other Spain
La que huele a caña, tabaco y brea
The one that smells of sugarcane, tobacco, and tar
Eres la perezosa
You are the lazy one
La de piel dorada, la marinera
The one with golden skin, the sailor
eres la otra España
You are the other Spain
La que huele a caña, tabaco y brea
The one that smells of sugarcane, tobacco, and tar
Eres la perezosa
