Carceleras Del Puerto
Rocío Jurado
Jailers of the Port
I would rather be dead,
I would rather be dead,
than imprisoned for life
in this prison of the Port,
Port of..., Port of Santa Maria.
Sentinel, sentinel,
you are to blame
for my sleepless night,
for my sleepless night.
Where will that little boat go
that crosses the calm sea?
Some say to Almeria
and others say to Cartagena
and others say to Cartagena.
Ay, ay, ay! Ay, ay, aya!
Sailboat coming from Cadiz,
coming from Cadiz through that bay,
coming from Cadiz through that bay,
and it doesn't reach the Port, and it doesn't reach the Port.
Port of
Port of Santa Maria.
