Lyrics and translation Σαβίνα Γιαννάτου - Alta Es la Luna




Alta Es la Luna
Alta Es la Luna
Alta, alta es la luna
High, high is the moon
Cuando empeza a esclarecer
When dawn is breaking
Hija ermoza y sin ventura
Fair daughter, so unfortunate
Nunca llegue a nacer
Never came to be born
Mis ojos se me hincheron
My eyes are swollen
De tanto mirar la mar
From gazing at the sea
Vaporicos van y vienen
Little steamers come and go
Letra para mi no hay
No letters come for me
Mi querido es hermoso
My love is handsome
Dos taras tiene con él
But he has two faults
La una que arroja dados
One is that he gambles
La otra que echa ses bes
The other that he curses
Mi querido es alto y vano
My love is tall and vain
Y una vara de espander
And a yard to spare
Mi madre hizo colada
My mother did her washing
Lo metió a detener
And hung it out to dry
High, high is the moon
High, high is the moon
When dawn is breaking
When dawn is breaking
