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
She said to me, 'I'm cold'Me desia tengo frio

Since I saw her comingDesde que la vi venir
I've felt a passionEh sentido una pasion
Since I saw her comingDesde que la vi venir
I told my heartLe dije a mi corazon

What a pretty little stoneQue bonita piedrecita
To make me stumblePara darme un tropezon

The woman is 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 her beautyPor gozar de su hermosura

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

The woman is like the childLa mujer es como el niño
Who gets angry and throws the breadQue se enoja y tira el pan
Giving him a little loveHaciendole un cariñito
He picks it up and asks for moreLo recoje y pide mas
I will continue loving youYo te eh de seguir amando
If you have the willSi me tienes voluntad

To love one is nothingQuerer una no es ninguna
To love two is falsehoodQuerer dos es falcedad
To love three or deceive fourQuerer tres o enganar cuatro
Is a grace that God gives usEs gracia que dios nos da
I will continue loving youYo te eh de seguir amando
If you have the willSi me tienes voluntad

Now with this I say goodbyeYa con esta me despido
Plucking a little roseDeshojando una rosita
Here they end singingAqui se acaban cantando
Verses of the little stoneVersos de la piedrecita

I will continue loving youYo te eh de seguir amando
Because you are the most beautifulPor que eres la mas bonita
