Les Malaguenas et les Fandangos Font se déhancher la blonde et la brune De Saragosse à Pampelune Sous l'œil ardent des Hidalgos ! Ah ! ah ! ah ! Dans le clair de lune Vont se déhancher la blonde et la brune ! Ah ! ah ! ah ! dans le clair de lune De Saragosse à Pampelune, Au son des tambours, aux rythme égaux Au son des tambours, aux rythme égaux Qui donnent l'ivresse et les vertigos ! Tournent, tournent, Tournent les Jotas et les Fandangos ! Et moi, je m'endors dans la ville grise Sous la morne pluie aux sanglots du vent, Et toujours je m'en vais rêvant des écueils où l'âme s'enlise Hélàs ! si souvent... Et j'entends au loin hululer la brise comme un funeste engoulevent Et le ciel est noir, et mon coeur se brise ! Les Malaguenas et les Fandangos Font se déhancher la blonde et la brune De Saragosse à Pampelune Sous l'oeil ardent des Hidalgos... Ah ! ah ! ah ! Dans le clair de lune Vont se déhancher la blonde et la brune ! Ah ! ah ! ah ! dans le clair de lune De Saragosse à Pampelune, Au son des tambours, aux rythme égaux Au son des tambours, aux rythme égaux Qui donnent l'ivresse et les vertigos ! Tournent, tournent, Tournent les Jotas et les Fandangos !

The Malaguenas and the Fandangos Make the blonde and the brunette sway their hips From Zaragoza to Pamplona Under the ardent gaze of the Hidalgos! Ah! ah! ah! In the moonlight, The blonde and the brunette will sway their hips! Ah! ah! ah! In the moonlight, From Zaragoza to Pamplona, To the sound of the drums, with their rhythm beating To the sound of the drums, with their rhythm beating That bring intoxication and dizziness! They twirl and spin, The Jotas and Fandangos spin! And me, I fall asleep in the grey city Under the dreary rain and the cry of the wind, And always, I go on dreaming of dangers which bind the soul, Alas! so often... And in the distance, I hear the breeze howling like an ominous raven, And the sky is black, and my heart is breaking! The Malaguenas and the Fandangos Make the blonde and the brunette sway their hips From Zaragoza to Pamplona Under the ardent gaze of the Hidalgos! Ah! ah! ah! In the moonlight, The blonde and the brunette will sway their hips! Ah! ah! ah! In the moonlight, From Zaragoza to Pamplona, To the sound of the drums, with their rhythm beating To the sound of the drums, with their rhythm beating That bring intoxication and dizziness! They twirl and spin, The Jotas and Fandangos spin!
