Текст песни Coplas

You asked me for green peppers,
Green peppers are your due.
Come with me into the garden,
I will gather them for you.

They say the ones at your house
Cannot bear the sight of me.
Tell them not to roil the water,
They may drink on bended knee.

Any woman who loves two men,
Always gives them brothers' shares.
Big horns she puts on one lad,
Budding horns the other wears.

Jenny Mule I used to ride on
My pal is riding now.
What do I care who rides her?
I broke her to the plow.

The night that we were married,
I couldn't sleep at all.
I spent the whole night chasing
A cat climbing up the wall.

You said it was a black cat
Came in through your balcony.
Black cat with hat and pants on –
That's a new one on me.
