[English]

Gypsy dance, your strength will be

Source of my inspiration

In your gaze, in your fiery mouth is love

Take the rust out of my whole being,

Give me back the passion

Give me your blood and I can make my heart beat

...

Your lips can heal me

Wounds of time and maybe

One day you’ll teach me the whole truth

Gypsy, you can read

My hands and so know

That my love and your love want to be together

Where are those witches from yesterday

...

Who made my strength die?

Come help me, my sweet gypsy, to live again

Don’t you realize how lonely I am?

Come quickly, come to me,

Only the scent of your skin would make me dream, feel

It’s hard to believe

How much I need you,

I’d like to have you, to kiss your mouth

Maybe someday you’ll come,

You’ll come to ease my pain

And your love and my love will always be together

...

Beautiful and sensual gypsy dance,

Give me your sweet truth,

Give me memory, for I no longer remember what love is

I will wait for you and someday I will see

Your long skirts flying

And their colors will give new life to my being, you’ll see

Gypsy, you will always be

The strength that will save me,

I hope you come and we fight together

You must not deny your mission,

...

What’s written cannot be changed,

My song warned you, I can only wait

...

[Spanish]

Danza gitana, tu fuerza será

Fuente de mi inspiración

En tu mirada, en tu boca de fuego está el amor

Saca la herrumbre de todo mi ser,

Devuélveme la pasión

Dame tu sangre y podré hacer latir a mi corazón

Tus labios me pueden sanar

Heridas del tiempo y quizás

Un día me enseñes toda la verdad

Gitana tu puedes leer

Mis manos y así conocer

Que mi amor y tu amor juntos quieren estar

¿Dónde estarán esas brujas que ayer

Mi fuerza hicieron morir?

Ven a ayudarme mi dulce gitana a revivir

¿No te das cuenta lo solo que estoy?

Ven pronto, ven hacia mí,

Sólo el perfume de tu piel me haría soñar, sentir

Resulta difícil creer

Cuanto necesito de vos,

Quisiera tenerte, tu boca besar

Quizás algún día vendrás,

Vendrás a calmar mi dolor

Y tu amor y mi amor juntos siempre estarán

Danza gitana hermosa y sensual,

Dame tu dulce verdad,

Dame memoria, que ya no recuerdo lo que es amar

Te esperaré y algún día veré

Tus largas faldas volar

Y sus colores darán nueva vida a mi ser, verás

Gitana por siempre serás

La fuerza que me salvará,

Espero que llegues y juntos luchar

No debes negar tu misión,

Lo escrito no puede cambiar,

Mi canción te avisó, yo solo puedo esperar

Key Grammar Structures

• Dame tu sangre y podré hacer latir a mi corazón

  ➔ Imperative + Modal verb (future ability with 'podré')

  ➔ "Dame" is the imperative form of 'dar' (give me), and "podré" (I will be able to) expresses future potential ability.

• Tus labios me pueden sanar

  ➔ Modal verb 'poder' + infinitive

  ➔ "Pueden sanar" means 'can heal'; 'poder' expresses ability or possibility.

• Quizás algún día vendrás

  ➔ Future tense + adverb of possibility

  ➔ "Quizás" means 'perhaps'; "vendrás" is the future of 'venir' (you will come).

• Te esperaré y algún día veré

  ➔ Future tense + direct object pronoun

  ➔ "Te esperaré" = 'I will wait for you'; 'te' is the direct object pronoun for 'you'.

  ➔ "No debes negar" = 'You must not deny'; 'deber' expresses obligation or prohibition when negative.

• Devuélveme la pasión

  ➔ Imperative with pronoun attached

  ➔ "Devuélveme" = 'Return to me'; pronoun 'me' attaches to the end of the imperative.

• ¿Dónde estarán esas brujas?

  ➔ Future tense expressing speculation

  ➔ In Spanish, future tense can imply speculation — here, '¿Dónde estarán?' means 'Where might they be?'.

• Mi canción te avisó

  ➔ Preterite tense + direct object pronoun

  ➔ "Avisó" is preterite of 'avisar'; 'te' = 'you'. The sentence means 'My song warned you'.

  ➔ "Dame" = 'Give me'; "tu dulce verdad" = 'your sweet truth'. Entire line urges personal giving.
