from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Canto gitano
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE GER
¡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!
