La Gitana [English translation]

Who told you that I must

beg your permission, no, who said

that I'm an old rag

to be thrown on the floor.

One soleá, one soleá

I promise to myself

one soleá, one soleá.

You watch what you say, just watch it,

because I don't forget.

We're going to do this the nice way

or else we won't do it at all.

Listen, boy, don't fight me anymore,

You won't like me when I'm mean [you don't know what I'm like when I fight dirty].

We're going to do it the nice way

or we won't do it at all

Cause when my blood is poisoned,

The Gypsy in me comes out [you'll see my Gypsy side]

This is for the man who says, says,

That he loves me then later curses me,

What a joke, a contradiction,

but I won't let him walk all over me.

So this is how I play the game [I'm making a defensive move],

you will never see me on my knees.

And what you lack in morality, I abound in genetically [you lack the moral code that my Gypsy heritage instilled in me],

the Gypsy in me comes out, the Gypsy in me comes out.

You watch what you say to me,

because I won't forget a word.

We're going to do this the nice way

or else we won't do it at all.

Listen, boy, don't fight me anymore,

You won't like me when I'm mean.

We're going to do it the nice way

or we won't do it at all

Cause when my blood is poisoned,

The Gypsy in me comes out, the Gypsy in me comes out.

We're going to do this the nice way

or else we won't do it at all.

Listen, boy, don't fight me anymore,

Listen, boy, just listen, boy.

We're going to do this the nice way,

cause if my blood is poisoned,

the Gypsy in me comes out.
