Paroles et traduction Manolo Escobar - Maruja Limon

Maruja Limon

Era una rosa morena
Con los labios de coral.
Para quitarse las penas
Cantaba y cantaba
Por la madrugá.
¿Qué tienes en la mirada,
Maruja Limón,
Que miras desconfiada,
Maruja Limón?
A saber de tu ceguera,
Con esa cara.
Amarilla y con ojeras,
Qué pena me das.
Ya te he dicho muchas veces,
Maruja Limón,
Que ese hombre me parece
Palomo ladrón.
Como no pongas cerrojos
En tu corazón,
Van a ser fuentes tus ojos,
Maruja Limón, Maruja Limón,
Maruja Limón, Maruja Limón.
Tiene brillantes por cientos
Y esmeraldas un sinfin.
Pero por mor de aquel cuento,
Los hombres le cantan
Por el Albaicín:
¿A dónde fueron tus cantares,
Maruja Limón,
Y tu blusa de lunares,
Maruja Limón?
Que te pones terciopelo
En vez de percal
Y no llevas en el pelo
Ramitos de azahar.
No me hiciste lindo caso,
Maruja Limón,
Y ahora vas pasito a paso
A tu perdición.
Por no haber puesto cerrojos
En tu corazón,
Ahora son fuentes tus ojos,
Maruja Limon, Maruja Limón,
Maruja Limón, Maruja Limón
No me hiciste lindo caso,
Maruja Limón,
Y ahora vas pasito a paso
A tu perdición.
Por no haber puesto cerrojos
En tu corazón,
Ahora son fuentes tus ojos,
Maruja Limon, Maruja Limón,
Maruja Limón, Maruja Limón

Maruja Limon

You were a dark-haired rose,
With coral lips.
To chase your worries away,
You sang and sang,
At dawn.
What's in your eyes,
Maruja Limón,
Why do you look at me with distrust,
Maruja Limón?
Because of your blindness,
Your face.
Yellow and with dark circles,
How sorry I feel for you.
I've told you so many times,
Maruja Limón,
That man seems to me
A thieving pigeon.
If you don't put locks
On your heart,
Your eyes will be fountains,
Maruja Limón, Maruja Limón,
Maruja Limón, Maruja Limón.
You have hundreds of diamonds
And countless emeralds.
But because of that tale,
The men sing to you
In the Albaicín:
Where are your songs gone,
Maruja Limón,
And your polka-dot blouse,
Maruja Limón?
You wear velvet
Instead of calico
And you don't wear in your hair,
Sprays of orange blossoms.
You didn't listen to me,
Maruja Limón,
And now you're going step by step
To your doom.
For not having put locks
On your heart,
Now your eyes are fountains,
Maruja Limon, Maruja Limón,
Maruja Limón, Maruja Limón
You didn't listen to me,
Maruja Limón,
And now you're going step by step
To your doom.
For not having put locks
On your heart,
Now your eyes are fountains,
Maruja Limon, Maruja Limón,
Maruja Limón, Maruja Limón
