The Other Spain
With a wide-brimmed hat and a carnation in his lapel, a Mr. Juan went off to sea. With land behind him adventure in his eyes his guitar and song oh sailor, oh sailor. From his cape, he made a poncho of his guitar, a charango, [ a type of guitar] from his land, another sea. You're the other 'Spain' which smells like sugarcane, tobacco, and pitch [tar] You are the lazy one with golden skin, the seafarer [a synonym for boat here] oh oh oh seafarer, oh oh oh seafarer. Between the guitar notes he spoke to them of his land of a carnation and a balcony where a child still weeps waiting for the one, that on one day [he] forgot to say goodbye. oh sailor, oh sailor. With a wide-brimmed hat and a carnation in his lapel, a certain Mr. Juan went off to sea.
La otra España
Con sombrero de ala ancha y un clavel en la solapa un don Juan se hizo a la mar con la tierra a sus espaldas la aventura en su mirada su guitarra y un cantar oh marinero, oh marinero. De su capa hizo un poncho de su guitarra un charango de su tierra otra mar. Tú eres la otra España la que huele a caña, tabaco y brea eres la perezosa la de piel dorada, la marinera ah ah ah marinera, ah ah ah marinera. Entre notas de guitarra les hablaba de su tierra de un clavel y de un balcón donde aún llora una niña esperando a aquél que un día se olvidó decirle adiós oh marinero, oh marinero. Con sombrero de ala ancha y un clavel en la solapa un don Juan se hizo a la mar
