Limón limonero [English translation]

At the feet of a blossomed lemon tree

one night that I will never forget

to a swanky and boastful youngster

a girl gave all of her love

She believed the whole oath, and didn't see the falsehood

and she drowns in the anguish of feeling deserted

And under the shade of that lemon tree

which one day saw her smile so happily,

pulling her sorrows one by one

just like a rose, she was singing like this:

Lemon tree

oh, lemon, lemon tree!

Your girl, a youngster once told her

being dishonest and deceitful

"The way I haven't loved anyone in the world,

serrana1, that's the way I love you.

Have mercy on me, calm my pain".

Oh, lemon, lemon tree

my so loved lemon tree2

Through roads where bramble patches abound

she started rolling with the cross of her sorrows,

and so choked by the bile of her regrets

she fails to forget and forgive

But as years went by

the curse was fulfilled,

may another female betray him

just as he once betrayed.

And under the shade of that lemon tree

that blossomed, and was dried by time,

today he was seen crying his sorrow

for his disappointment, God's punishment.

Lemon tree

oh, lemon tree, lemon tree!

Your girl, a youngster once told her

being dishonest and deceitful

"The way I haven't loved anyone in the world,

serrana1, that's the way I love you.

Have mercy on me, calm my pain".

Oh, lemon, lemon tree

my so loved lemon tree
