Translated to:

1. Si al Retiro me llevas
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
Si al Retiro me llevas
entre tanto galán,
por la noche no digas
que te sientes muy mal.
Que el marido que enseña
la que debe guardar,
no es extraño que diga
que le duele el frontal.

2. Canto gitano
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
¡Ay madrecita de mis entrañas,
me han robao a mi gitana!
Me pongo triste, madre del alma
porque pierdo mi serrana.

Serranica de mi vida,
a ti no te duele el alma.
¡Ay madrecita de mis entrañas,
me han robao a mi gitana!

¡Ay madrecita de mis entrañas,
yo no sé lo que me pasa!
Sin mi chiquilla me vuelvo loco,
y el corazón se me abrasa.

Serranica de mi vida,
el tuyo no siente nada.
¡Ay madrecita de mis entrañas,
me han robao a mi gitana!
