Paroles et traduction Buika - Te Camelo

Te Camelo

Era Mari Carmen gitanita
Pura de tez broncea
Mas que una mocita
Era una escultura de oscuro metal

Su mata de pelo igual que la endrina
Llevaba en dos tiempos prendía una flor
Y era la gitana más guapa y mas fina
Que alguien se ha llevao
A aquel gran pintor

Y cuando su imagen la gente admiraba
El pobre gitano asi le cantaba

Mari Carmen te camelo
Porque tú eres la clavellina
Que desde la tierra al cielo
To lo trasmina
De tus palabritas nacen claveles
Mari Carmen, déjame que yo te camele

Cuando fue famosa
Despreció al gitano y lo abandono
Y aunque la fortuna tuvo entre sus manos
De na le valió
Que al verse tan lejos de quien la quería
No halló en el dinero la felicidad
Y al ir por el mundo perdió su alegría
Como aquellas flores que son trasplantas
Y viendo el retrato que el mundo admiraba
El pobre gitano así con duquelas
Le cantaba

Mari Carmen te camelo
Porque tú eres la clavellina
Que desde la tierra al cielo
To lo trasmina
De tus palabritas nacen claveles
Mari Carmen, dejame que yo te camele

Jazmines y rosas tu cuerpo huele
Mari Carmen, déjame que yo te camele.

Te Camelo

She was Mari Carmen, a gypsy girl
With a tanned complexion
More than a young woman
She was a dark metal sculpture

Her forest of hair like sloe
She wore flowers in her hair for a short time
And she was the most beautiful and elegant gypsy
That someone had taken away
From that great painter

And when people admired her image
The poor gypsy sang to her like this

Mari Carmen, I'm in love with you
Because you're the carnation
That from the earth to the sky
You permeate everything
From your little words, carnations are born
Mari Carmen, let me love you

When she became famous
She disdained the gypsy and abandoned him
And although fortune was in her hands
It was no use to her
For seeing herself so far from the one she loved
She found no happiness in money
And as she traveled the world she lost her joy
Like those flowers that are transplanted
And seeing the portrait that the world admired
The poor gypsy sang to her sadly
Like this

Mari Carmen, I'm in love with you
Because you're the carnation
That from the earth to the sky
You permeate everything
From your little words, carnations are born
Mari Carmen, let me love you

Your body smells of jasmine and roses
Mari Carmen, let me love you.
