Un jupon serré sur les hanches
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): 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 Manola1. 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.

Seguidilla
Language: Czech (Čeština)  after the French (Français)
Živůtkem stísněn útlý bok, v chignonu s velkým hřebenem, sníh zuby, oči s plamenem, pleť bledá, nožka pružná v skok. Alza olà, kdo odolá. To skutečná jest Manola! Řeč volná, smělé pohyby, a každé slovo pepř a sůl, snem zítřek, láska žití půl, vše plno žertů, záliby. Alza olà, kdo odolá. To skutečná jest Manola! Vždy v rej při zvuku kastanět, a v bězích býků o závod, torerů každý soudit hod, vždy při kouření cigaret. Alza olà, kdo odolá. To skutečná jest Manola!
