La Canción Del Ladrón

When I was a little boy, I courted and showed off, white espadrilles on my feet and a handkerchief around my waist. Goodbye, little brown carnation! Goodbye, star of the day! And now, that I'm all grown up, I've turned to a life of crime. I've taken up stealing, my daily trade. Goodbye, little brown carnation! Goodbye, star of the day!
I robbed a mule driver coming back from the fair, I took all his money and the goods he was carrying. Goodbye, little brown carnation! Goodbye, star of the day!
When I had enough money, I also stole a girl, I tricked her, telling her I would marry her. Goodbye, little brown carnation! Goodbye, star of the day! The law caught me and took me to a dark prison. The law caught me and will make me pay with my life. Goodbye, little brown carnation! Goodbye, star of the day!
