Un jupon serré sur les hanches
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
Un jupon serré sur les hanches,
Un peigne énorme à son chignon,
Jambe nerveuse et pied mignon,
Œil de feu, teint pâle et dents blanches :
Alza ! olà !
Voilà
La véritable Manola.
Gestes hardis, libre parole,
Sel et piment à pleine main,
Oubli parfait du lendemain,
Amour fantasque et grâce folle :
Alza ! olà !
Voilà
La véritable Manola.
Chanter, danser aux castagnettes,
Et, dans les courses de taureaux,
Juger les coups des toreros,
Tout en fumant des cigarettes :
Alza ! olà !
Voilà
La véritable Manola.
