Jo tenc una enamorada [English translation]

I have a girlfriend

Far down in the South

And each time that I go to see her

She asks me when I will be back.

I tell her that I'll be back soon

If the world doesn't take me away:

When the pine trees produce pomegranates

And the fig trees, melons.

When the sea has dried up completely

And carts travel through its roads

And snapper sharks

Hunt inside silk worms' cocoons.

Then, I shall return

And I will marry you, if you want me to;

You can start sewing our clothes,

So that we look great at our wedding.

In my belt I shall carry

A double barrelled gun

And every time I shoot with it

It will make twice the noise.

If the world doesn't take me away:

When the pine trees produce pomegranates

And the fig trees, melons.

When the sea has dried up completely

And carts travel through its roads

And snapper sharks

Hunt inside silk worms' cocoons.
