Nací en Sevilla [English translation]

I gave life a kiss when I was born

And I sang a ballad

I was baptized in Triana

With water from the Guadalquivir river

With water from the Guadalquivir river

And I was taught Seville, with a hug

Of a gypsy with brown skin and black hair

Between the aromas of nard and mint

I was born in Seville, Seville

Between red carnations and chamomile

I was born in Seville, Seville

Between white walls and bulerías 1

Life gave me a kiss when I was born

And I painted my face

And I dressed in white

With the silver moon in April

With the silver moon in April

And I took with me to the fair

My slow trotting horse

And on my back

Bells of glory from my Giralda 2

I was born in Seville, Seville

Between red carnations and chamomile

I was born in Seville, Seville

Between white walls and bulerías

Life gave me a kiss when I was born

And I sang a ballad

I was baptized in Triana

With water from the Guadalquivir river

With water from the Guadalquivir river

And I dressed in black

And all of Triana dress in black

For three falls

Of a divine gypsy from my Seville

I was born in Seville, Seville

Between red carnations and chamomile

I was born in Seville, Seville

Between white walls and bulerías

I was born in Seville, Seville

Between red carnations and chamomile

I was born in Seville, Seville

Between white walls and bulerías

I was born in Seville, Seville...
