Adelina à la promenade
Language: French (Français) after the Spanish (Español)
La mer n'a pas d'oranges
et Séville n'a pas d'amour.
Brune, quelle lumière brûlante!
Prête-moi ton parasol.
Il rendra vert mon visage
Jus de citron et de limon
et tes mots petits poissons
nageront tout à l'entour
La mer n'a pas d'oranges
A y amour
et Séville n'a pas d'amour.

Adelina promenading
Language: English after the French (Français)
The sea has no oranges
and Seville has no love.
Brunette, what a burning light!
Loan me your parasol.
It makes appear green, my face,
Juice of lemon and lime
and your words, small fish,
will swim all over.
The sea has no oranges
Ay love
and Seville has no love.
