El Borracho

Manguara Manguara

The Drunkard

They say they’ve seen me in Sevilla
Completely wasted
Completely wasted
Talking to the Giralda
With the gardens and the river
They say they’ve seen me in Sevilla
Completely drunk

Don’t listen to anyone
I get smashed in Alameda
In Triana and the flea market
And to take a nap
In the gardens of Murillo

Don’t pay attention to the people
If they say I’m talking
To the railings of the bridge
I was just telling
My troubles to the current

They say they’ve seen me in Sevilla
With a woman on my arm
With a woman on my arm
Dark like the Moon
Macarena from Triana
They say they’ve seen me in Sevilla
And she looks like a gypsy

I never say no
'Cause I’m like a Don Juan
In matters of romance
Tell me who doesn’t fall in love
On a night by the river

They say they’ve seen me in Sevilla
At the break of dawn
At the break of dawn
Dancing sevillanas
Or listening to a saeta
They say they’ve seen me in Sevilla
Behind some cart

And the marsh winds
And the scent of the orange trees
Go unnoticed
I love the Esperanza and the Virgin of Rocío

They say they’ve seen me in Sevilla
In a horse-drawn carriage
In a horse-drawn carriage
Heading to the fair
Or to the Torre del Oro
They say they’ve seen me in Sevilla
And that I was also going to the bullfights

Oh! I don’t want to sleep
'Cause life is too short
When you live in Sevilla
In an hour of sleep
You miss a thousand wonders
