Tico Tico [English translation]

Tico Tico here

Tico Tico there

In all of Seville we hear nothing but this name

He passed by here

He will pass by there

How handsome is he in his gala costume

With a sombrero on his head

And his flat thighs

On his horse he walks around with small steps

Under his glazed handlebar moustache

He makes all the girls 1 of Alhambra dream

They whisper that his grandfather was a corsair

That he was trading blacks at Buenos Aires

And patati and patata 2 in the house where he lived

All the La Scala gratin passed by there

Tico Tico became the sole legatee

Of his horde, of his horse and of his lands

He can keep his sombrero in front of each

He is a true caballero, Tico Tico

1. Jupons literally means 'petticoat'2. like English 'yadda yadda'
