Hello Jilian, Guadalajara, Guadalajara! Guadalajara, Guadalajara! Hueles a límpio, a rosa temprana You smell (hueles) clean, like an early rose, A verde jara fresca del río, A green Rock Rose (jara) fresh from the river If it is jarra then like a green jar (of water) fresh from the river. Son mil palomas tu caserío, Your houses are (look) like a thousand doves Hueles a pura tierra mojada. You smell of fresh (pure) wet earth. Ay! Colomitos lejanos I don't know what colomitos are either. Ay! Ojitos de agua hermanos Twin eyes of liquid Ay! Colomitos inolvidables Inolvidables como las tardes En que la llúvia desde la loma In which the rains from the hill Ir nos hacía Zapopan. Sweeps with us to Zapópan. "Guadalajara, Guadalajara!" (So far so good) You have the soul of a provincial woman (hueles qué quiere decir?) (something) clean, of an early (budding?) rose You smell clean, like an early rose from your green thicket by the river there are a thousand doves near the village where you live Guadalajara hueles (mystery word) the pure wet earth. Ay, distant Colomitos (what are colomitos?) Ay, ojitos de agua hermanos (this has to be totally idiomatic, what does it mean?) Unforgettable like the afternoons in which your rains, from the hills, has made us go to Zapopan. Am I even CLOSE?? Muchísimas gracias,
