To make nicer all life
To make all harmonize and poetize
Some flowers are enough
Without any trick
They delight, they rejuvenate
Oh, Señor et Señorita
From Carmencita's hands
Accept these violets
It's happiness that you're buying
The holy god will reward you
Señor for your señorita
Take the flowers they here are
To make a smile bloom
To talk saying nothing
There's nothing like my violet.
Like birds harbinger of the spring
In Madrid appear the violeteras
That trumpeting they look like swallows
That they cheep, that they cheep
Take it, señorito
It doesn't cost more than a real 1
Will you buy this bunch
Will you buy this bunch
To show it up in the buttonhole
La, la, la, la, la
Take this bunch
Take this bunch
To show it up in the buttonhole
