Thread Name: Lyr Req: SeƱor (Tales of Yankee Power) (Bob Dylan)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Spanish to English translation for lyric
Two problems, either of which may cause a problem.
We have not seen a written version of the verse, but only a possible transcription of what is heard.
The singer may have no real knowledge of Spanish, or poor memory, but improvises on what he thinks he remembers or saw.

In other words, it is a waste of time to try to decipher the lines as posted (although the general idea of the verse is reasonably clear).
