Green wind Green branches | B |
The ship out on the sea | C |
and the horse on the mountain | D |
With the shade around her waist | E |
she dreams on her balcony | C |
green flesh her hair green | A |
with eyes of cold silver | F |
Green how I want you green | A |
Under the gypsy moon | G |
all things are watching her | F |
and she cannot see them | H |
- | |
Green how I want you green | A |
Big hoarfrost stars | I |
come with the fish of shadow | J |
that opens the road of dawn | K |
The fig tree rubs its wind | L |
with the sandpaper of its branches | B |
and the forest cunning cat | M |
bristles its brittle fibers | N |
But who will come And from where | O |
She is still on her balcony | C |
green flesh her hair green | A |
dreaming in the bitter sea | C |
- | |
My friend I want to trade | P |
my horse for her house | Q |
my saddle for her mirror | F |
my knife for her blanket | R |
My friend I come bleeding | S |
from the gates of Cabra | F |
If it were possible my boy | T |
I'd help you fix that trade | P |
But now I am not I | U |
nor is my house now my house | Q |
My friend I want to die | U |
decently in my bed | V |
Of iron if that's possible | W |
with blankets of fine chambray | F |
Don't you see the wound I have | X |
from my chest up to my throat | Y |
Your white shirt has grown | Z |
thirsy dark brown roses | A2 |
Your blood oozes and flees a | B2 |
round the corners of your sash | C2 |
But now I am not I | U |
nor is my house now my house | Q |
Let me climb up at least | D2 |
up to the high balconies | E2 |
Let me climb up Let me | C |
up to the green balconies | E2 |
Railings of the moon | G |
through which the water rumbles | F2 |
- | |
Now the two friends climb up | G2 |
up to the high balconies | E2 |
Leaving a trail of blood | H2 |
Leaving a trail of teardrops | E2 |
Tin bell vines | E2 |
were trembling on the roofs | E2 |
A thousand crystal tambourines | E2 |
struck at the dawn light | I2 |
- | |
Green how I want you green | A |
green wind green branches | E2 |
The two friends climbed up | G2 |
The stiff wind left | J2 |
in their mouths a strange taste | E |
of bile of mint and of basil | W |
My friend where is she tell me | C |
where is your bitter girl | K2 |
How many times she waited for you | L2 |
How many times would she wait for you | L2 |
cool face black hair | F |
on this green balcony | C |
Over the mouth of the cistern | M2 |
the gypsy girl was swinging | S |
green flesh her hair green | A |
with eyes of cold silver | F |
An icicle of moon | G |
holds her up above the water | F |
The night became intimate | R |
like a little plaza | E2 |
Drunken 'Guardias Civiles' | E2 |
were pounding on the door | F |
Green how I want you green | A |
Green wind Green branches | E2 |
The ship out on the sea | E2 |
And the horse on the mountain | D |

Verde que te quiero verde | E2 |
Verde viento Verdes ramas | E2 |
El barco sobre la mar | F |
y el caballo en la monta a | E2 |
Con la sombra en la cintura | F |
ella sue a en sus baranda | E2 |
verde carne pelo verde | E2 |
con ojos de fr a plata | E2 |
Verde que te quiero verde | E2 |
Bajo la luna gitana | E2 |
las cosas la est n mirando | E2 |
y ella no puede mirarlas | E2 |

Verde que te quiero verde | E2 |
Grandes estrellas de escarcha | N2 |
vienen con el pez de sombra | F |
que abre el camino del alba | E2 |
La higuera frota su viento | E2 |
con la lija de sus ramas | E2 |
y el monte gato gardu o | E2 |
eriza sus pitas agrias | E2 |
Pero qui n vendr Y por d nde | E2 |
Ella sigue en su baranda | E2 |
verde carne pelo verde | E2 |
so ando en la mar amarga | S |

Compadre quiero cambiar | F |
mi caballo por su casa | E2 |
mi montura por su espejo | E2 |
mi cuchillo por su manta | E2 |
Compadre vengo sangrando | E2 |
desde los puertos de Cabra | F |
Si yo pudiera mocito | E2 |
este trato se cerraba | E2 |
Pero yo ya no soy yo | E2 |
Ni mi casa es ya mi casa | E2 |
Compadre quiero morir | F |
decentemente en mi cama | E2 |
De acero si puede ser | F |
con las s banas de holanda | E2 |
No ves la herida que tengo | S |
desde el pecho a la garganta | E2 |
Trescientas rosas morenas | E2 |
lleva tu pechera blanca | S |
Tu sangre rezuma y huele | K2 |
alrededor de tu faja | E2 |
Pero yo ya no soy yo | E2 |
Ni mi casa es ya mi casa | S |
Dejadme subir al menos | S |
hasta las altas barandas | S |
dejadme subir dejadme | E2 |
hasta las verdes barandas | S |
Barandales de la luna | S |
por donde retumba el agua | S |
- | |
Ya suben los dos compadres | S |
hacia las altas barandas | S |
Dejando un rastro de sangre | F |
Dejando un rastro de l grimas | S |
Temblaban en los tejados | S |
farolillos de hojalata | E2 |
Mil panderos de cristal | K2 |
her an la madrugada | E2 |
- | |
Verde que te quiero verde | E2 |
verde viento verdes ramas | S |
Los dos compadres subieron | S |
El largo viento dejaba | E2 |
en la boca un raro gusto | E2 |
de hiel de menta y de albahaca | S |
Compadre D nde est dime | E2 |
D nde est tu ni a amarga | S |
Cu ntas veces te esper | F |
Cu ntas veces te esperara | F |
cara fresca negro pelo | K2 |
en esta verde baranda | E2 |
- | |
Sobre el rostro del aljibe | E2 |
se mec a la gitana | S |
Verde carne pelo verde | E2 |
con ojos de fr a plata | S |
Un car bano de luna | S |
la sostiene sobre el agua | S |
La noche se puso ntima | E2 |
como una peque a plaza | S |
Guardias civiles borrachos | S |
en la puerta golpeaban | S |
