Veinticinco limones
Rolando Alárcon
Twenty-five lemons
(cueca)
The oranges, the lemons, the watermelons, the melons, oranges, lemons, watermelons, melons, pretty girls and old pot-bellied men!
Under a green lemon
down where the water didn't flow
I gave my heart
to one who didn't deserve it,
under a green lemon.
Twenty-five lemons
on a branch
and fifty appear
in the morning, yes, ma'am.
In the morning, oh yes,
very ripe lemon
give it a little affection
discreetly.
Oranges and lemons
morning loves.
