    Arbolé, arbolé,
    seco y verdí.

    La niña del bello rostro
    está cogiendo aceituna.
    El viento, galán de torres,
    la prende por la cintura.
    Pasaron cuatro jinetes
    sobre jacas andaluzas,
    con trajes de azul y verde,
    con largas capas oscuras.
    "Vente a Córdoba, muchacha."
    La niña no los escucha.
    Pasaron tres torerillos
    delgaditos de cintura,
    con trajes color naranja
    y espadas de plata antigua.
    "Vente a Córdoba, muchacha."
    La niña no los escucha.
    Cuando la tarde se puso
    morada, con lux difusa,
    pasó un joven que llevaba
    rosas y mirtos de luna.
    "Vente a Granada, muchacha."
    Y la niña no lo escucha.
    La niña del bello rostro
    sigue cogiendo aceituna,
    con el brazo gris del viento
    ceñido por la cintura.
    Arbolé, arbolé.
    Seco y verdé.

    Tree, tree
    dry and green.

    The girl with the pretty face
    is out picking olives.
    The wind, playboy of towers,
    grabs her around the waist.
    Four riders passed by
    on Andalusian ponies,
    with blue and green jackets
    and big, dark capes.
    "Come to Cordoba, muchacha."
    the girl won't listen to them.
    Three young bullfighters passed,
    slender in the waist,
    with jackets the color of oranges
    and swords of ancient silver.
    "Come to Sevilla, muchacha."
    The girl won't listen to them.
    When the afternoon had turned
    dark brown, with scattered light,
    a young man passed by, wearing
    roses and myrtle of the moon.
    "Come to Granada, muchacha."
    And the girl won't listen to him.
    The girl with the pretty face
    keeps on picking olives
    with the grey arm of the wind
    wrapped around her waist.
    Tree, tree
    dry and green.

    --Federico García Lorca
