La Vida de Antes [English translation]

It's in the air, spinning a coin,

Dance steps, a ruffled shirt

Nobody's moon, a large party, agitated blood,

Antonia, Manuela and the muscle cramp

The life before, that of the full belly

That is not upset1 if the harvest is good

Go ahead, put on your pajamas,

Now sleep on each flight, your parents have

Important things to do

I bring the aroma of the south wind,

The yerba buena2,

The strolls that you took along the lane,

The entire town full of light

When the elegant brunette arrives

With all of her Andalusian accent,

First cousin of the mayor, with so much artistry that

I don't know what to give you anymore, I only have my health

And you are more than a diamond necklace,

I have said it before

The singer came out, the street dance begins

The thieves, stealing wallets 3

Let the air flow, the charming girl hopes that

The son of Ramón, the doctor, likes her

I bring the aroma of the south wind,

The yerba buena,

The strolls that you took along the lane

The entire town full of light

When the elegant brunette arrives

With all of her Andalusian accent,

First cousin of the mayor, with so much artistry that

I don't know what to give you anymore, I only have my health

And you are more than a diamond necklace

Don Juan, the friar, tricorns and flags

With pure blood, Spain, even if you don't want it

Love of art, three duros 4on Sunday in the wallet,

Well-groomed so I can go find you

And you are more than a diamond necklace...

I bring the aroma of the south wind,

The yerba buena,

The strolls that you took along the lane

The entire town full of light

When the elegant brunette arrives

With all of her Andalusian accent,

First cousin of the mayor, with so much artistry that

I don't know what to give you anymore, I only have my health

And you are more than a diamond necklace

Having said it before
