VERDE Lyrics English Translation by Lola Indigo
Green, how I love you, green
Green wind, green branches (Olé!)
The boat drifting on the sea (Move aside!)
The horse up in the mountains (Let’s go!)
Green, how I love you, green
(Green, green; green, green)
With the shadow on her waist
She dreams upon her balcony
Emerald eyes, jet-black hair
A body of silver, cold and distant
Green, how I love you, green, oh yes
How I love you, green, oh my
How I love you, green (Green, green)
How I love you, green (Green, green)
Brother, I want to trade
My horse for your shelter (Olé!)
My saddle for your mirror (Let’s go!)
My dagger for your blanket
Green, how I love you, green, oh yes
How I love you, green, oh my
How I love you, green (Green, green)
How I love you, green (Green, green)
Brother, I come here bleeding
From the ports of Cabra (Take this!)
And if I were a young maiden,
I’d seal the deal right now
Green, how I love you, green, oh yes
How I love you, green, oh my
How I love you, green, oh yes
How I love you, green, oh my
How I love you, green, oh yes
How I love you, green, oh my
How I love you, green, oh yes
How I love you, green, oh my
I love you, green—oh, how I love you, green
Green—oh, how I love you
Oh, oh, oh, how I love you, green
Green, how I love you
Green—oh, how I love you, green
Green—oh, how I love you, green
Oh, oh, oh, how I love you, green
How I love you, green
