L’Oriental [English translation]

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

And they call me the Oriental

The brown with the killer glance

And they call me the Oriental

Because I’m sentimental

But still I do no harm

They’ve named me the Oriental

They criticize my life

But they like my company

My heart is always attached

My heart plays hide-and-seek

Even when I haven’t a dollar

I sing and I forget my gloom

They’ve named me the Oriental

Because I’m sentimental

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

And they call me the Oriental

The brown with the killer glance

And they call me the Oriental

Because I’m sentimental

But still I do no harm

They’ve named me the Oriental

Sad songs or happy songs

I sing what I like

It’s music that drives me mad

Oriental or Spanish music...

A song is like love

It makes you dream night and day

They’ve named me the Oriental

I’m so sentimental

And they call me the Oriental

The brown with the killer glance

And they call me the Oriental

Because I’m sentimental

But still I do no harm

They’ve named me the Oriental...
