Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Otra España by Mocedades from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Con sombrero de ala ancha
With wide-brimmed hat
Y un clavel en la solapa
And a carnation on the lapel
Un don Juan se hizo a la mar
A don Juan went to sea
Con la tierra a sus espaldas
With the earth behind them
La aventura en su mirada
Adventure in his eyes
Su guitarra y un cantar
His guitar and a singing
Oh marinero, oh marinero
O sailor, O sailor
De su capa hizo un poncho
From his cloak he made a poncho
De su guitarra un charango
From his guitar a charango
De su tierra otra mar
From his land another sea
Tú eres la otra España
You are the other Spain
La que huele a caña, tabaco y brea
The one that smells of cane, tobacco and pitch
Eres la perezosa
You're the lazy one
La de piel dorada, la marinera
The one with golden skin, the sailor
Ah ah ah marinera, ah ah ah marinera
Ah ah ah sailor, ah ah ah sailor
Entre notas de guitarra
Between guitar notes
Les hablaba de su tierra
He told them about his land
De un clavel y de un balcón
Of a carnation and a balcony
Donde aún llora una niña
Where a girl still cries
Esperando a aquél que un día
Waiting for the one who one day
Se olvidó decirle adiós
Forgot to say goodbye
Oh marinero, oh marinero
O sailor, O sailor
Con sombrero de ala ancha
With wide-brimmed hat
Y un clavel en la solapa
And a carnation on the lapel
Un don Juan se hizo a la mar
A don Juan went to sea
