Lyrics
A los pies de un limonero florecido
una noche que en la vida olvidaré
un mocito pintorero y presumido
a una niña le entregó too' su querer
Se creyó su juramento y no vió su falsedad
y se ahoga en el tormento
de sentirse abandonada
Y a la sombra de aquel limonero
que un día, dichosa, la vió sonreir,
desojando una a una sus penas
igual que una rosa le cantaba así:
Limonero, ay, limón limonero
a tu vera le dijo un mocito falso y embustero
como a nadie en el mundo he querido,
serrana, te quiero.
Ten piedad de mí,
calma mi dolor,
ay, limón, limonero,
limonero mío de mi corazón.
Por caminos sembraditos de zarzales
con la cruz de su dolor se echó a rodar
y ahogadita por la hiel de los pesares
no consigue ni olvidar ni perdonar,
pero al cabo de los años se cumplió la maldición,
que otra hembra lo traiciona
lo mismo que él traicionó.
Y a la sombra de aquel limonero
que fue florecido
y el tiempo secó
hoy lo han visto llorando sus penas
por un desengaño, castigo de Dios.
Limonero, ay, limón limonero
a tu vera le dijo un mocito
falso y embustero:
como a nadie en el mundo he querido,
serrana, te quiero.
Ten piedad de mí,
calma mi dolor,
ay, limón, limonero,
limonero mío de mi corazón.
Lyrics translation
At the foot of a flowering Lemon Tree
a night in life I'll forget
a young painter and presumptuous
a little girl gave too ' her love
He believed his oath and did not see his falsehood
and he drowns in torment
feeling abandoned
And in the shadow of that Lemon Tree
that one day, blessed, saw her smile,
giving away one by one their sorrows
just like a Rose sang to him like this:
Lemon Tree, ay, Lemon Lemon Tree
your vera was told by a false and deceitful little boy
like no one in the world I've loved,
serrana, I love you.
Have mercy on me,
calm my pain,
Oh, Lemon, Lemon Tree,
my lemon tree from my heart.
By paths planted with bushes
with the Cross of his pain he rolled
and drowned by the ice of sorrow
he can't forget or forgive,
but after the years the curse was fulfilled,
that another female betrays him
the same thing he betrayed.
And in the shadow of that Lemon Tree
that was bloomed
and time dried up
today you have seen him crying his sorrows
by disappointment, punishment from God.
Lemon Tree, ay, Lemon Lemon Tree
a little boy told your vera
false and deceitful:
like no one in the world I've loved,
serrana, I love you.
Have mercy on me,
calm my pain,
Oh, Lemon, Lemon Tree,
my lemon tree from my heart.
