La Violetera
Sarita Montiel
The Violet Seller
Like birds heralding spring
in Madrid, the violet sellers appear
calling out like swallows
chirping away, chirping away.
Take it, sir, it’s only worth a dime
buy this little bouquet from me
buy this little bouquet from me
so you can wear it in your lapel.
Music
Her eyes are bright, her face is cheerful
she’s what you’d call a true Madrilenian
she’s got that charm that if she glances your way
it’ll burn you, it’ll burn you.
Take it, sir, it’s only worth a dime
buy this little bouquet from me
buy this little bouquet from me
so you can wear it in your lapel.
Music verse
buy this little bouquet from me
buy this little bouquet from me
so you can wear it in your lapel.
