Lyrics and translation Roba Estesa - Dona del Carrer

Dona del Carrer

Se sent un xiscle estrany
Dirigeixo la meva mirada cap allà on ve i veig una vaca pasturant
I al seu costat una dona descabellada, amb els braços estesos i descalça que balla sense compàs
Passa un vailet pel meu costat i li pregunto: "Xiquet! Tu saps qui és aquella dona?"
I ell, avergonyit, em diu: "La Revolució"

Vaig conèixer una xiqueta sense poble, sense ciutat
Els peus negres anava descalça, els cabells duia deslligats
Sons ulls foscos explicaven belles històries del passat
Però tancant-los amagava el que passés d'ara endavant

I alçant les mans enlaire
I amb uns moviments de cap
Sa cintura dibuixava
Infinits de llibertats

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Vine aquí dona del carrer!
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Vine aquí somriu i balla
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Vine aquí dona del carrer!
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Vine aquí i balla

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai

I ara duc sal a la butxaca
Per recordar-la quan es fa tard
Sal, calor de la mar salada
Que si tinc sort tornaré a llepar

I alçant les mans enlaire
Crida al cel per cantar
La cançó que mai s'acaba:
I que diu lai lai lailai lailai lailai lai lai!

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Vine aquí dona del carrer!
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Vine aquí somriu i balla
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Vine aquí dona del carrer!
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Vine aquí i balla

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai

Lady of the Street

I feel a strange squeaky
I turn my gaze to where it comes from and see a grazing cow
And beside it, a disheveled woman, with her arms outstretched and bare feet dancing without rhythm
A young boy passes by me, and I ask him: "Boy! Do you know who that woman is?"
And he, ashamed, tells me: "The Revolution"

I met a young woman without a town, without a city
Her feet were black, she walked barefoot, her hair was loose
Her dark eyes told beautiful stories of the past
But when she closed them, she hid what would happen from now on

And raising her hands in the air
And with some head movements
Her waist was drawing
Infinite freedoms

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Come here, lady of the street!
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Come here, smile and dance
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Come here, lady of the street!
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Come here and dance

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai

And now I carry salt in my pocket
To remember her when it gets late
Salt, heat of the salty sea
Which, if I'm lucky, I'll lick again

And raising her hands in the air
She calls out to the sky to sing
The song that never ends:
And that says, come here, lady of the street!

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Come here, lady of the street!
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Come here, smile and dance
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Come here, lady of the street!
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Come here and dance

Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
Lailai lailai lailai lailai lai lai
