Lyrics
Nunca fue feliz, jamás le habló de amor
su pobre vida gris sin luz ni flor.
Tras el ventanal Malvaloca sueña igual,
presa en la quimera de la espera.
Pálida su tez tal vez se marchitó
detrás del delantal de su niñez.
Y en una claridad de luna
ninguna le igualó su palidez.

Malva... ya nace el alba
con un tango trasnochado.
Malva... tu roja boca
Malvaloca te ha pintado.
Triste ya te dormiste
sobre la calle pobre.
Malva de luna y alba,
desteñida en el balcón.

Planta sin amor, dolor de ser sin ser,
miró por un querer que no llegó.
Tímida y feliz, Malvaloca, duende gris,
juega en la neblina de la esquina.
Torna en el rodar de un silbo que tal vez
devuelve por las calles su niñez.
Y en una claridad de luna
¡qué luna igualará su palidez!
English translation
He was never happy, he never spoke of love
her poor gray life without light or flower.
Behind the window Malvaloca dreams the same,
imprisoned in the chimera of waiting.
Pale her complexion perhaps withered away
behind the apron of her childhood.
And in a moonlight
none matched her pallor.

Malva... the dawn is already rising
with a late night tango.
Malva... your red mouth
Malvaloca has painted you.
Sad you have already fallen asleep
on the poor street.
Mauve of moon and dawn,
faded on the balcony.

Plant without love, pain of being without being,
looked for a desire that did not come.
Shy and happy, Malvaloca, gray elf,
plays in the mist of the corner.
She turns in the roll of a whistle that perhaps
returns through the streets of her childhood.
And in a moonlight
what moon will match its pallor!
