El Porrompompero
(Manolo Escobar)

El trigo entre todas las flores
ha elegido a la amapola,
y yo elijo a mi Dolores,
Dolores, Lolita, Lola.

Y yo, y yo escojo a mi Dolores
que es la , que es la flor más perfumada,
Doló, Dolores, Lolita, Lola.

Porompom pón, poropo, porompom pero, peró,
poropo, porom pompero, peró,
poropo, porompom pon. (bis)

A los ojos de mi cara
les voy a poner un candao
por no ver las cosas raras
de este niñato chalao, por no,
por no ver las cosas raras de esé,
de ese niñato chalao que te,
que te apunta y no dispara.

El cateto de tu hermano
que no me venga con leyes,
es payo y yo soy gitano
que llevo sangre de reyes, que es pa,
que es payo y yo soy gitano, que lle,
que llevo sangre de reyes en la,
en la palma de la mano.

Verde era la hoja,
verde era la parra,
debajo del puente,
retumba,retumba, retumba....
 

The Porompompero *
(Manolo Escobar)

The wheat, amongst all the flowers
Has chosen the poppy
And I choose my Dolores
Dolores, Lolita, Lola.

And I, and I choose my Dolores
She's the, she's the most perfumed flower
Dolo, Dolores, Lolita, Lola.

Porompom pón, poropo, porompom pero, peró,
poropo, porom pompero, peró,
poropo, porompom pon. (repeat)

The eyes in my face
I'm going to put a lock on them
So they can't see the weird things
Of that crazy boy, so they can't
So they can't see the weird things of that
Of that crazy boy who
Aims at you and fires

That yokel of a brother you have
Don't let him come to me with his laws
He's a payo * and I'm a gypsy
I've got king's blood running in my veins
He's a payo * and I'm a gypsy
I've got king's blood running in
In the palm of my hand

The leaf was green
The grapevine was green
Under the bridge
It echoes, it echoes, it echoes...

Editor's note: * The Porompompero is the person who beats the drum, or the sound of drumming. * A payo is a term used by gypsies to describe anyone who is not a gypsy
