La Piedrecita

The Little Stone

La Piedrecita

Every time the evening fallsCada vez que cae la tarde
instead of crying, I laughen vez de llorar me rio
remembering the little kissesrecordando los besitos
we gave each other by the riverque nos dimos en el rio

With her trembling little mouthCon su boquita temblando
poor thing, she was coldpobrecita tenia frio

Since I saw her comingDesde que la vi venir
I felt a passioneh sentido una pasion
since I saw her comingdesde que la vi venir
I warned my heartle avise a mi corazon

What a pretty little stoneQue bonita piedrecita
to trip overpara darme un tropezon

The woman is like a pearLa mujer es una pera
that ripens on the treeque en el arbol se madura
and the man despairsy el hombre se desespera
to enjoy its sweetnesspor gozar de su dulsura

And the desperate manY el hombre desesperado
and she dries up and ripensy ella seca y se madura

Having one is nothingTener una no es ninguna
wanting two is follyquerer dos es falcedad
loving three or deceiving fouramar tres o enganar cuatro
is a grace that God gives uses gracia que dios nos da

I will continue to love youYo te eh de seguir amando
if you have the willsi me tienes voluntad

The woman is like the childLa mujer es como el nino
who gets angry and throws the breadque se enoja y tira el pan
making a little gesturehaciendo un carinito
picks it up and asks for morelo recoge y pide mas

I will continue to love youYo te eh de seguir amando
if you have the willsi me tienes voluntad

Now with this I say goodbyeYa con esta me despido
dropping a little rose petaldeshojando una rosita
here they end singingaqui se acaban cantando
verses of the little stoneversos de la piedrecita

I will continue to love youYo te eh de seguir amando
because you are a beautiful womanpor que eres mujer bonita
