Francesita

Little French Girl

Francesita

Hey, boulevard girlChe, Francesita bulevardera
She has her shield, the fleur-de-lisTiene su escudo la flor de lis
On wings she came from a chimeraEn alas vino de una quimera
She's a little French girl, from ParisEs Francesita, es de Paris
With her nervous and delicate silhouetteCon su silueta nerviosa y fina
With her sparkles and her outfitCon sus brillantes y su toilette
The girls from Argentina see herLas ven las chicas de la Argentina
And they say, 'Wow, she's something!'Y de ella dicen pero que bien

Little French girl, flower of the boulevardFrancesita flor del boulevard
Don't get sad, you're going to cryNo te pongas triste que vas a llorar
And you have to laugh to forgetY hay que reír para olvidar
Little French girl, flower of the boulevardFrancesita flor del boulevard

She dreamed happily with her old manCon su viejito feliz soñaba
There in a neighborhood close to GodAllá en un barrio cerca de Dios
But the ungrateful one she loved so muchPero el ingrato que tanto amaba
Gave his heart to another womanLe dio a otra femme su corazón
He left with her and, crazedPartió con ella y enloquecida
She followed his steps from ParisSiguió sus pasos desde Paris
But she lost her way and the yearning for her lifeMás perdió el rumbo y el ansia de su vida
Under the nights of this countryBajo las noches de este país
