A La Lima Y Al Limon
Concha Piquer
To the Lime and Lemon
The neighbor across the street, no, no,
Doesn't have big eyes.
Nor does she have a slender figure, no, no,
Nor are her lips of blood.
No one approaches her gate,
No one calls on her windows.
Only the wind at night
Is the one who wanders the street.
And the children sing in a circle, circle.
This sad song that the wind carries away.
To the Lime and Lemon,
You have no one who loves you.
To the Lime and Lemon,
You will remain single.
What a pity and what pain.
What a pity and what pain,
The neighbor across the street remained single.
She remained single.
To the Lime and Lemon.
The neighbor across the street, no, no,
Never loses hope.
And waits day and night, yes, yes,
For that love that doesn't come.
Her friends have married,
Her sisters have married.
And she, composed and without a boyfriend,
Has stayed at the window.
And the children sing in a circle, circle.
The same chorus that the wind carries away.
To the Lime and Lemon,
You have no one who loves you.
To the Lime and Lemon,
You will remain single.
What a pity and what pain.
What a pity and what pain,
The neighbor across the street remained single.
She remained single.
To the Lime and Lemon.
The neighbor across the street, yes, yes,
At thirty she got married,
To a fifty-year-old man, yes, yes,
They say he's a magistrate.
She shows him off in the promenades,
She shows him off in the theaters.
And always walks down the street
Holding onto his arm.
And with irony, she always hums,
The same chorus of the circle, circle.
To the Lime and Lemon,
I already have someone who loves me.
To the Lime and Lemon,
I didn't remain single.
My sorrow is over.
My sorrow is over,
For a man knocked on my door and I gave him my heart,
And he married me.
To the Lime and Lemon.
