Chiclanera [English translation]

I told my Chiclana-woman

"see you tomorrow" and I took off

with the passerine lass

I met at the grocer's.

But I've suffered a lot

'cause I've been hurt

by treachery.

that I well deserve

because of a slip

of my heart!

[Chorus:]

Aaaaaah from Cadiz to Chiclana,

roads covered with flowers,

I found my Chiclana-woman

that was tortured by unlucky love

My Chiclana-woman

I have suffered as well

for not being loved

I am by your side.

Aaaaay, to soothe your pain,

here I am surrendering to you

'cause this love that's killing you

has flourished once again

My Chiclana-woman

I've repented and for this

all the world is mine

when I have you.

I begged my Chiclana-woman

that she should have compassion.

And she came back at me scornful

that I would not receive forgiveness.

I was a pilgrim for her love

and on the path

of my great pain,

the thorny bushes that were pricking me

finally have given me

their most beautiful flower

(chorus)
