Près des remparts de Seville (Seguidilha)
Georges Bizet
Near the ramparts of Seville (Seguidilla)
Near the ramparts of Seville
At my friend Lillas Pastia's
I will dance the Seguidilla
And drink Manzanilla.
I will go to my friend Lillas Pastia.
Yes, but alone one gets bored,
And true pleasures are shared,
So, to keep me company,
I will take my lover.
My lover... he's gone to hell,
I kicked him out yesterday.
My poor heart, so fickle,
My heart is free as air.
I have suitors by the dozen,
But they are not to my liking.
Here comes the end of the week,
Who wants to love me? I will love him!
Who wants my soul? It's up for grabs.
You've come at the right time;
I hardly have time to wait,
Because with my new lover,
Near the ramparts of Seville
At my friend Lillas Pastia's,
We will dance the Seguidilla
And drink Manzanilla
Tra la la la la la la la la
