Verses sung by Los Utrera
1.
Early in the morning I went
to the garden of my fantasy
and after visiting
all the growing flowers there,
I cut one flower for you,
more beautiful than you can imagine.
(So help me God, so help me God,)
I go around bent over
like someone who’s [rabbit] hunting,
with one knee bent,
but still walking.
Ayy, if the hare eludes you
You’ll be left staring!
2. 
I salute the singers
if they’ll give me permission,
I salute the gentlemen,
and everyone in general.
And I salute the flowers [ladies]
as I begin singing.
I’ll see whether I stay or not.
[They say we don’t love each other
because they don’t see us talking]*
I’d like to, but cannot
talk to you with my eyes.
3.
Still in the world exists
s/he who captured my love
S/he who clothes her/himself in pride.
And that’s the reason that I
always sing so sadly.


Once I was your beloved,
and you my adored one,
Now I’m the Devil, I horrify you,
You say you’re afraid of me,
after loving me so much?


4.
I am like fig candy,
that melts in your mouth.
The woman who tries me
will go crazy with pleasure,
and if she’s married, she’ll
keep her mouth very quiet.


In the jungle I saw burning
the lamp of Money.
I also saw at dawn
an elegant firefly.
How can I not want you
if you were my first love?
