Arbolé, arbolé
Language: Spanish (Español)
Arbolé, Arbolé
seco y verdé
La niña del bello rostro
está cogiendo aceituna.
El viento, galán de torres,
la prende por la cintura.
Pasaron cuatro jinetes,
sobre jacas andaluzas
con trajes de azul y verde,
con largas capas oscuras.
"Vente a Córdoba, muchacha."
La niña no los escucha.
Pasaron tres torerillos
delgaditos de cintura,
con trajes color naranja
y espadas de plata antigua.
"Vente a Sevilla, muchacha."
La niña no los escucha.
Cuando la tarde se puso morada,
con luz difusa,
pasó un joven que llevaba
rosas y mirtos de luna.
"Vente a Granada, muchacha."
Y la niña no lo escucha.
La niña del bello rostro
sigue cogiendo aceituna,
con el brazo gris del viento
ceñido por la cintura.
Arbolé Arbolé
seco y verdé.

Boompje boompje dor en groen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the Spanish (Español)
Boompje boompje
dor en groen
Het meisje met het knappe
gezicht plukt olijven.
De wind die om de torens speelt,
neemt haar om haar taille.
Vier ruiters kwamen voorbij
op Andalusische paardjes,
gekleed in blauw en groen
met lange donkere mantels.
"Kom mee naar Córdoba, meisje."
Het meisje luistert niet naar hen.
Drie jonge torero's kwamen voorbij
slank van lijf
in oranje pakken
met degens van oud zilver.
"Kom mee naar Sevilla, meisje."
Het meisje luistert niet naar hen.
Toen de avondhemel paars kleurde,
met diffuus licht,
kwam een jongeman voorbij
met rozen en mirten van maanlicht.
"Kom mee naar Granada, meisje"
En het meisje luistert niet naar hem.
Het meisje met het knappe gezicht
blijft olijven plukken,
met de grijze arm van de wind
om haar middel geslagen.
Boompje boompje
dor en groen.
