Lyrics
He metio en un relicario
toita las calles de Cai
y he metio en un relicario
y se las llevo como ofrenda
a la Virgen del Rosario.
Que me gustan los tranvias
desde Cai a San Fernando
Que me gustan los tranvias
porque veo navegando
los barcos por la bahia.
Vientecillo de levante
tu eres loco y marinero
vientecillo de levante
dile a la mujer que quiero
que sus besos
son mi estandarte.
Coletillas
anoche te vi en Santa Maria
o recuerdo a la Perla
gitana mia
cuando estaba en via
mira que pelito,
mira que carita,
que andares llevaba
flores a tu paso
los balcones tiraban.
Tengo un velero (x2)
que cuando entra por Cai
el muelle pesquero
me saluda el mercante
y el de pasajero
y comentan las olitas
mira que andares
tiene tan marinero.
Tabajo en el pescao
y en el tabaco
tengo 2 trajecillos
y unos zapatos
dile a tu mare niña,
dile a tu mare
que tengo 10 reales
para gastarme.
Y surcaremos las olitas,
los anchos mares
y surcaremos las olitas,
no habráquien nos pare
y llegamos a la playa
del mar de Cai
y llevaremos sales
donde no hay…
Eso es lo que hay.
Lyrics translation
I got into a locket.
toita the streets of Cai
and I got into a locket
and I take them as an offering
to the Virgin of the Rosary.
That I like trams
from Cai to San Fernando
That I like trams
because I see sailing
boats across the Bay.
Levante bellybutton
you're a madman and a sailor.
Levante bellybutton
tell the woman I want
that their kisses
they're my banner.
Coletillas
I saw you in Santa Maria last night.
or I remember the Pearl
my Gypsy
when I was in via
look at that hair.,
look at that little face.,
what walks he carried
flowers in your path
the balconies were pulling.
I have a sailboat (x2)
that when it comes through Cai
the fishing dock
the merchant greets me
and the passenger
and they say the little waves
watch you walk
he has such a sailor.
Tabajo in the pescao
and in tobacco
I have 2 suits
and some shoes
tell your mare girl,
say big you
that I have 10 reais
to spend.
And we'll pluck the waves,
the wide seas
and we'll pluck the waves,
there will be no stopping us
and we reached the beach
of the Cai sea
and we'll bring salts
where there is no…
That's what there is.
