Verde [English translation]

Green, how I want you green

Green wind, green branches.

The ship out on the sea

The horse up on the mountain.

Green, how I want you green

With shadows across her waist

She dreams on the balcony

Green flesh, green hair,

With eyes of cold silver.

Green, how I want you green

Friend, I want to exchange

My horse for your house,

My saddle for your mirror,

My knife for your blanket.

Green, how I want you green

Friend, I come bleeding

From the mountain pass of Cabra.

If I could, young fellow,

this deal would be sealed.

Green, how I want you green

But now I am no longer myself,

Nor is my house now my own home

At least let me climb up

To the high balconies

Green, how I want you green

Friend, I want to die

Decently in my bed

Of iron, if that's possible,

With linen sheets from Holland

Green, how I want you green

Friend, where is she, tell me

Where is that bitter girl?

How many times I waited for her

How many times I was waiting for her

Green, how I want you green

Green, how I want you green

Green wind, green branches.

The ship out on the sea

The horse up on the mountain.

Green, how I want you green
