la violetera

Testo – Sarah MontielMusica –J.Sanchez Padrilla - 1923)

Orquestra Romanticos de Cuba Canta Nanà Muskouri

Like birds announcing spring

In Madrid the violet sellers appear suddenly

que pregonando... parecen golondrinas que van piando, que van piando.

 They shoutThey look like

shallows chirping, chirping

Llévelo usted señorito que no vale mas que un real cómpreme usted este ramito cómpreme usted este ramito, pa' lucirlo en el ojal.

. . . . . .

Buy it Mister! It's only one realBuy this violet,buy this violetPut it on your buttonholeWith his joyful eyes

C. Chaplin canción elegida para acompañar a la película muda

"City Lights"!

C. Chaplin song chosen to accompany the silent film

"City Lights"!

His face is happyHe was such a guyHe was from Madrid,from Castilla

neta y castiza... y que si entorna los ojos te cauteriza, te cauteriza.

From Castilla if he moves his eye    He burns you He burns you

Buy it Mister! It's only one realBuy this violet,buy this violetPut it on your buttonholeBuy this violet,buy this violetPut it on your buttonhole.
