Lyrics
Cruzó los brazos
Pa no matarla
Cerró los ojos
Pa no llorar
Temió ser débil
Y perdonarla
Y abrió la puerta
De par en par…
Vete, mujer mala
Vete de mi vera
Rueda lo mismito
Que la maldición
Que Dios te permita
Que el gaché que quieras, (1)
Pague tus quereres
Tus quereres pague
Con mala traición…
Gitana, que tú serás
Como la falsa monea
Que de mano en mano va
Y ninguno se la quea…
Que de mano en mano va
Y ninguno se la quea
Besó los negros
Zarcillos finos (2)
Que ella dejara
Cuando se fue
Y aquellas trenzas
De pelo endrino, (3)
Que, en otros tiempos
Cortó pa él
Cuando se marchaba
No intentó mirarla
Ni lanzó un quejío
Ni le dijo adiós
Entornó la puerta
Y, pa no llamarla
Se clavó las uñas
Se clavó las uñas
En el corazón…
Gitana, que tú serás
Como la falsa monea…(etc)
(1) Gaché o gachó: Hombre
(2) Zarcillos: Aretes, pendientes auriculares
(3) Endrino: Fruto de la endrina. Bayas de color negro azulado. Se
Comparan aquí con el color del pelo de la hembra
Lyrics translation
He crossed his arms
To not kill her
Closed his eyes
Pa don't cry
He was afraid he was weak.
And forgive her
And he opened the door
From level to level…
Go away, bad woman
Go away from my vera
Wheel it itself
That the curse
May God allow you
That the gaché you want, (1)
Pay for your wants
Your wants pay
With bad betrayal…
Gypsy, you will be
Like the fake monea
That from hand to hand goes
And no one wants it…
That from hand to hand goes
And no one wants it
Kissed the blacks
Thin tendrils (2)
That she left
When he left
And those braids
Hair, (3)
That, in other times
Cut pa it
When he was leaving
He didn't try to look at her.
Nor did he make a complaint
He didn't even say goodbye.
He knocked over the door.
And, pa don't call her
She nailed her nails.
She nailed her nails.
In the heart…
Gypsy, you will be
Like the fake monea...(etc)
