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
