letra help

Hi there,

I wondered if anyone might help me with the transcription of the first two letras in below video.

Normally I understand a bit of spanish, but for some reason I can't get the words out of it. All I hear is something like

"en esta ....viene mi amante
banderolas de plata trae delante."

"y eso ... de sevilla...
... no legada...
...maravilla.....christiana."

A spaniard at hand, anyone?

Thanks

Y en aquella fragata viene mi amante
Banderolas de plata trae delante

Y eso lo sabe Sevilla
Qué sultana no le gana
Que juega a las maravillas
Por ser morita cristiana

Olé tu FredGuitarra, thanks a lot, really.

Do you know the third one too by chance?
"tengo una novia morena con los ojos endormialaos"

It is also sung here by Miguel Lavi with Manuel Parilla:

Best wishes

Yo tengo un novio moreno
Con los ojitos adormilados
Gitanito de los buenos
Con el pelo alborotado

EDIT:
That one comes from here, the lyrics are in the description:
