Dolores Sierra

Dolores Sierra

Vive em Barcelona

Lives in Barcelona

Na beira do cais

On the edge of the dock

Não tem castanholas

She doesn't have castanets

E faz companhia

And keeps company

A quem lhe der mais

With whoever gives her more


Nasceu em Salamanca

She was born in Salamanca

Seu pai lavrador

Her father, a farmer

Veio a maioridade

Came of age

Como quem nasce na roça

Like someone born in the countryside

Tem sempre a ilusão

Always has the illusion

De viver na cidade

Of living in the city


Sua mãe chorou

Her mother cried

No dia em que ela partiu

On the day she left

Pra conhecer Dom Pedrito

To meet Dom Pedrito

Que prometeu e não cumpriu

Who promised and didn't fulfill


Com frio e com sede

With cold and thirst

Só na sarjeta

Only in the gutter

Sorriu para um homem

She smiled at a man

E ganhou a primeira peseta

And earned her first peseta


O navio apitou, paguei a despesa

The ship sounded its horn, I paid the expense

E a história se encerra

And the story comes to an end

Adeus, Barcelona, adeus

Goodbye, Barcelona, farewell

Adeus Dolores Sierra

Goodbye Dolores Sierra
