Lyrics Enric Granados El Majo Discreto (Englisch)

The Discreet Majo

They say that my “majo” is ugly.
That may be so, for love is desire
that blinds and makes one dizzy:
for some time I have known
that the one who loves does not see.
But if my “majo” is not a man
that dazzles and stands out for his good looks,
he is nevertheless discreet
and keeps a secret
which I placed in him
knowing that he is loyal.
What then is the secret that the “majo” kept?
It would be indiscreet for me to reveal it;
it is not easy to know
A “majo”s secret with a woman.
He was born in Lavapies. Hey!
He is a “majo”, a “majo” he is.
