Green how I want you greenA
Green wind Green branchesB
The ship out on the seaC
and the horse on the mountainD
With the shade around her waistE
she dreams on her balconyC
green flesh her hair greenA
with eyes of cold silverF
Green how I want you greenA
Under the gypsy moonG
all things are watching herF
and she cannot see themH
-
Green how I want you greenA
Big hoarfrost starsI
come with the fish of shadowJ
that opens the road of dawnK
The fig tree rubs its windL
with the sandpaper of its branchesB
and the forest cunning catM
bristles its brittle fibersN
But who will come And from whereO
She is still on her balconyC
green flesh her hair greenA
dreaming in the bitter seaC
-
My friend I want to tradeP
my horse for her houseQ
my saddle for her mirrorF
my knife for her blanketR
My friend I come bleedingS
from the gates of CabraF
If it were possible my boyT
I'd help you fix that tradeP
But now I am not IU
nor is my house now my houseQ
My friend I want to dieU
decently in my bedV
Of iron if that's possibleW
with blankets of fine chambrayF
Don't you see the wound I haveX
from my chest up to my throatY
Your white shirt has grownZ
thirsy dark brown rosesA2
Your blood oozes and flees aB2
round the corners of your sashC2
But now I am not IU
nor is my house now my houseQ
Let me climb up at leastD2
up to the high balconiesE2
Let me climb up Let meC
up to the green balconiesE2
Railings of the moonG
through which the water rumblesF2
-
Now the two friends climb upG2
up to the high balconiesE2
Leaving a trail of bloodH2
Leaving a trail of teardropsE2
Tin bell vinesE2
were trembling on the roofsE2
A thousand crystal tambourinesE2
struck at the dawn lightI2
-
Green how I want you greenA
green wind green branchesE2
The two friends climbed upG2
The stiff wind leftJ2
in their mouths a strange tasteE
of bile of mint and of basilW
My friend where is she tell meC
where is your bitter girlK2
How many times she waited for youL2
How many times would she wait for youL2
cool face black hairF
on this green balconyC
Over the mouth of the cisternM2
the gypsy girl was swingingS
green flesh her hair greenA
with eyes of cold silverF
An icicle of moonG
holds her up above the waterF
The night became intimateR
like a little plazaE2
Drunken 'Guardias Civiles'E2
were pounding on the doorF
Green how I want you greenA
Green wind Green branchesE2
The ship out on the seaE2
And the horse on the mountainD

desde los puertos de CabraF
Si yo pudiera mocitoE2

De acero si puede serF

Tu sangre rezuma y hueleK2
alrededor de tu fajaE2

Barandales de la lunaS

Temblaban en los tejadosS
farolillos de hojalataE2
Mil panderos de cristalK2
her an la madrugadaE2

Los dos compadres subieronS
El largo viento dejabaE2
en la boca un raro gustoE2
de hiel de menta y de albahacaS
Compadre D nde est dimeE2
D nde est tu ni a amargaS
Cu ntas veces te esperF
Cu ntas veces te esperaraF
cara fresca negro peloK2
en esta verde barandaE2

Sobre el rostro del aljibeE2
se mec a la gitanaS
Verde carne pelo verdeE2
con ojos de fr a plataS
Un car bano de lunaS
la sostiene sobre el aguaS
La noche se puso ntimaE2
como una peque a plazaS
Guardias civiles borrachosS
en la puerta golpeabanS
