The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Boca De Rosa" by Javier Ruibal.
Lyrics
La calle está vacía, llueve
Y en la penumbra del Pekín
Huele a perfume barato
A humedad y a serrín
Un remolino de mujeres
Se aburre sin clientela
Sólo un marine de Texas
Se ha encaprichao con Carmela
Boca de rosa, te quiero llevar
Allí donde los cielos se podrían tocar
Boca de rosa, vente conmigo
No dejes que te aplaste tu destino
Su hombre que tanto la quiere
Y también la hace llorar
Fue a darle al yanqui un aviso
Que resultó ser fatal
Según el parte de Marina
Que a la deriva lo encontró
Pudo arrancarlo del muelle
Una tormenta de alcohol
Boca de rosa, te toca esperar
Que caigan voluntarios por la Base Naval
Boca de rosa, llega el invierno
Y Rota es la antesala del infierno
Lyrics translation
The street is empty, it's raining
And in the penumbra of Beijing
Smells like cheap perfume
Moisture and sawdust
A swirl of women
He gets bored with no clientele
Just a marine from Texas
He's got a crush on Carmela.
Mouth of Rose, I want to take you
Where the heavens could touch
Boca De rosa, come with me
Don't let your fate crush you
Her man who loves her so much
And it also makes her cry
He went to give the Yankee a warning.
That turned out to be fatal
According to Marina part
That adrift found him
He was able to pull it off the dock.
A storm of alcohol
Boca De rosa, you have to wait
Let volunteers fall through the Naval Base
Mouth of Rose, winter comes
And broken is the antechamber of hell
