Lyrics and translation Rocío Dúrcal - La Gitana

La Gitana

Una mujer rechazada
Es más peligrosa
Que un animal salvaje
Debes tener cuidado hijito mío
Pa' que no te pase
Lo que le paso, a un cuñado mío
Dejo a su mujer
Como deja el río
El agua correr
Por el sembradío
El ya estaba cansado
De tantos celos de tanta intriga
Y un día se fue a la mar
Se metió a nadar
Conoció a una amiga
Que le hizo cantar
Y olvidar su pena
Y se enamoró de esa mujer buena
Y así se salvó
De esa cruel condena
Se fueron baile y baile
Baile y que baile
A San Juan pueblito
Y ahí miro la mañana
Y una gitana de ojos bonitos
Que le dijo ven
Por una moneda
Te voy a decir lo que a ti te espera
Vas hacer feliz
Como tú antes eras
Ámense tal como son
El que persevera alcanza
Donde celos no hay amor
No se tengan desconfianza
No se dejen engañar
Porque todo es por demás
Nadie es de nadie
No se les olvide
Que hombre y mujer
Han nacido libres
La otra te pide que vuelvas
Mas que pronto a su lado
Pero tu estas de esta otra
Totalmente enamorado
Te dice que la perdones
Todo lo que ella te hizo
Tu no eres rencoroso
Ni tampoco olvidadizo
Ay, no, no, no
Quien va a volver
Ni loco que yo estuviera
Que volver, ni que volver
Ay, no, no, no
Quien va a volver
Ni que en este mundo hubiera
Nada más que esa mujer
Aquella es una testaruda
Ignorante y prepotente
Caprichosa y corajuda
Mal pensada e imprudente
Esta en cambio es amorosa
Intuitiva, inteligente
Servicial y cariñosa
Y además es obediente
Ay, no, no, no
Quien va a volver
Ni loco que yo estuviera
Que volver, ni que volver
Ay, no, no, no
Quien va a volver
Ni que en este mundo hubiera
Nada más que esa mujer

La Gitana

A lady abandoned
Is worse than a beast
In her rage and fury,
So take care my boy
Don't let it bite you
Like it bit my brother-in-law
He left his lady,
Like a river,
Let his waters run,
Through the fields.
He was sick and tired
Of all the jealousy, all the suspicion.
One day he went to the sea,
Went for a swim
Met a new lass
Who made him sing.
And he forgot all his pain
And fell in love with this good lady
And so he was saved
From that cruel fate
They went dancing, dancing,
Dancing, and dancing
To the town of San Juan.
There they saw the morning
And a gypsy with pretty eyes
Who said come hither.
For a coin
I will tell you what the future holds.
You will be happy
Like you once were
Love each other for who you are,
Where love is, obstacles fade.
Where there's no jealousy, there's no love,
Don't let suspicion creep in,
Don't let it deceive you.
For in the end, it's all for nothing.
No one belongs to anyone,
Don't forget it,
Men and women
Are born free.
The other one begs you to return
Quickly to her side,
But you are completely in love
With this other one,
She tells you to forgive her
For all that she's done to you,
You are not bitter
Nor are you forgetful.
Oh, no, no, no,
Who would go back?
I'd be crazy to go back,
To go back, to go back
Oh, no, no, no,
Who would go back?
As if in this world there were
No one but that woman.
That one is a stubborn mule,
Ignorant and arrogant.
Capricious and bold,
Suspicious and reckless.
This one, on the other hand, is loving,
Intuitive, intelligent,
Helpful and affectionate,
And she's also obedient.
Oh, no, no, no,
Who would go back?
I'd be crazy to go back,
To go back, to go back
Oh, no, no, no,
Who would go back?
As if in this world there were
No one but that woman.
