Quisiera Ser Pajarito

I Wish I Were a Little Bird

Quisiera Ser Pajarito

I wish I were a little birdQuisiera ser pajarito
Oh little birdAhy pajarito
And get lost in the distanceY perderme en la distancia
And forget a little loveY olvidar un amorcito
A little love that has meUn amorcito que me tiene
Sick in the soulEnferma el alma

There are those who could ownHay quien pudiera ser dueño
Her laughter and her gazeDe su risa y su mirada
And promise her an I love youY prometerle un te quiero
Without saying a wordSin decirle una palabra
Holding against my chestJuntando contra mi pecho
Her little red mouthSu boquita colorada

Every time I remember herCada vez que la recuerdo
I feel a pain in the soulSiento un dolor en el alma
I get on my horseSalgo monto a mi caballo
I go towards the savannahMe voy rumbo a la sabana
And in the song of the birdsY en el canto de las aves
I hear her voice calling meOigo su voz que me llama

Your memory accompanies meMe acompaña tu recuerdo
Pretty woman like a passing shadowMujer bonita como una sombra que pasa
Leaving me alone and sadDejándome solo y triste
Without a single hopeSin una sola esperanza

Who could take flightQuien pudiera alzar el vuelo
And get lost in the distanceY perderse en la distancia
To be like the little birdsSer como los pajaritos
Who have a small soulQue tienen pequeña el alma
Where there's no room for an I love youDonde no cabe un te quiero
Let alone a faultMucho menos una falta

I wouldn't want to forget youOlvidarte no quisiera
But the wound keeps bleedingPero es que la herida sangra
And a cowboy when he wantsY un llanero cuando quiere
Gives himself up with his soulSe entrega hasta con el alma
And with you I don't even haveY contigo yo no tengo
Not even hopeNi siquiera la esperanza
