Justino Ochoa ( flourished 1922 )
¡Sevillana!
Language: Spanish (Español)
Boquita como la grana,
morenita y sevillana.
¡Pandereta!
Granito de sal, coqueta,
fresca como una manzana,
agua clara de fontana.
¡Sevillana!
Risata cascabelera,
que me tienes prisionero
en tus ojos de Sultana.
¡Sevillana!
Eres la más española,
tienes aires de manola
lucero de la mañana,
guitarra que canta y llora.
¡Sangre mora!
¡Sevillana!

Sevillian girl!
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
Little mouth like a little [deep red] seed,
Little dark-haired, Sevillian girl.
Tambourine!
Grain of salt, coquette,
fresh like an apple,
clear water from [the] fountain.
Sevillian girl!
Scatter-brained laugh
which holds me prisoner
in your Sultaness eyes.
Sevillian girl!
You are the most Spanish,
you have [the] air of [a] woman from Madrid,
[bright] morning star,
guitar which sings and cries.
Moorish blood!
Sevillian girl!
