La Pajita

The Straw

La Pajita

This was a wax girlEsta que era una niña de cera
But she wasn't a wax girlPero no era una niña de cera
It was a sheaf standing on the threshing floorEra una gavilla parada en la era

But it was not a sheafPero no era una gavilla
But the stiff flower of wonderSino la flor tiesa de la maravilla
It was not the flower either, but it wasTampoco era la flor, sino que era
A ray of sunshine standing in the windowUn rayito de Sol parado en la vidriera

It wasn't even a ray of sunshineNo era un rayito de Sol siquiera
A straw in my little eyes wasUna pajita dentro de mis ojitos era

Come and see how I have lost everythingAlléguense a mirar como he perdido entera
In this tear, my true partyEn este lagrimón, mi fiesta verdadera
