The Little Thread

La Telita

TenguerengeTenguerenge
That my loveQue a mi carino
You have it tangled upTu lo tienes en tenguerengue
That it twinkles, that it twinkles, that it twirlsQue titiritaina que titirimundi que titiriteiro
It's all tangled upTiene en tenguerengue
Tangled up it isEn tenguerengue tiene
What we loveLo que nos queremos

Like it flickersComo titila
Flickering it isQue titilando esta
Little crumbs of moonMigajitas de luna
Little piece of breadPedacito de pan

The little thread from SabadellLa telita de sabadell
Ninety or a hundred frecklesLunares noventa o cien
I count twenty-sevenVeintisiete le llevo contao
From the shoulder to the first stitchDel hombro al primer bordao
Above the blousePor encima de la blusa
It has to peek outTiene que se asoma
The one I like the mostEl que mas me gusta

If nobody loves youSi no te quiere nadie
It's because you don't want toEs porque no quieres
Look how pretty you areMira que eres bonita
How pretty you areQue bonita eres
Put some generous spice to lifePonle a la vida salsa de generosa
The flower of wit was never beautifulQue la flor de la guasa nunca fue hermosa
And you'll seeY ya veras
Love will comeQue vendra
Love on a cometEl amor en un cometa
If you dream of a loveSi por un carino suenas
Whenever you want, it comesCuando tu quieras viene

The little thread from Sabadell...La telita de sabadell...

Scribble, scribbleGarabato garabato
The water scribblesEl agua garabatea
Painting on the wallsVa pintando en las paredes
The trickle from the tilesEl chorrito de las tejas
For singingPor cantareria
Patio of tangosPatio de los tangos
And buleriasY de bulerias
ScribblingGarabateando
Vava and scribblingVava y garabatea
The water flowing downEl agua bajando
Through the rooftopPor la azotea

Just a little bit of joy from youQue apenas que tu
Will bring so much happinessTe alegres sera mucha la alegria

The water rises, the wind risesSube el agua sube el viento
And the happy heart risesY sube el corazon contento
Just a little bit of joy from youQue apenas que tu te alegres
CharmingSalerosa

There's no one like youQue para de contar
To stop countingQue come tu ninguna

Like it flickersComo titila
When she goes out to danceCuando sale a bailar
Little crumb of moonMigajita de luna
Little pieces of breadPedacitos de pan
