Thread Name: Lyr Req: El Sombrero Blanco (from Zorro)
Subject: Lyr Add: EL SOMBRERO BLANCO / THE WHITE HAT
Q, Mrr, I´ve found that my personal message to Q on Aug 29 did not include the translation into English, because I wrote "less than" symbols after each verse and then the English translation. I forgot that the "less than" symbol does strange HTML things in the text, and then all the English lines DISAPPEARED!
Here is another try, I hope it reads ok:
Si quieras que yo te quiera :: if you want me to love you
mande enladrillar el mar, :: first get the sea paved with bricks
y después de enladrillado, :: and after it´s so paved
soy tuya y puedes mandar. :: I am yours and you rule.
Es possible, padre mio, :: My father, could it be possible
que me sí es a padecer, :: I am to suffer so much
y que vaya a pasar trabajos :: and to work so hard
por faltando de la mujer. :: for the woman I lack of ?
(Estribillo- refrain))
¿Quieres que te ponga mi sombrero blanco? :: Do you want to wear my white hat?
¿Quieres que te ponga mi sombrero azul? :: Do you want to wear my blue hat ?
Quieres que te siente mi vida en su trono :: my life, you want I sit you on your throne?
para que te cante el tu-run tun-tun,:: to sing for you the too-roon-toon-toon??
el tu-run tun-tun?
2.
La cal está en la lancha, :: The lime is in the boat,
la arenita en el mar. :: the sand is in the sea.
Y los peces son los ladrillos :: and the fish are the bricks-
ya está enladrillado el mar. :: the sea has been paved.
Las aguas cojo por el agua. :: I take the waters by the water,
Las arenas por la sal. :: and the sands by the salt
Y los peces son los ladrillos- ::and the fish are the bricks-
ya está enladrillado el mar. :: the sea has been paved.
Estribillo
3. Si quieras que yo te quiera,:: If you want me to love you
ha de ser de condición- :: a condition must be met,
que lo tuyo ha de ser mío :: that everything yours will be mine
y lo mío tuyo no. :: and everything mine yours not.
Best regards and
un abrazo
