Barquito Chiquitito

Little Boat

Barquito Chiquitito

I have a tiny little boatTengo un barquito chiquitito chiquitín
And it smells like cinnamonY huele a canela
And a tiny little handkerchiefY un pañuelito chiquitito chiquitín
Carries as a sailLleva por vela
When my sorrow is aloneCuando mi pena está sola
It always sails with itSiempre navega con él
The waves envy itMe lo envidian las olas
The white wavesLas blancas olas
And it's made of paperY es de papel
The puddles of waterLos charquitos del agua
Play at seasJuegan a mares
And my sailboat are my songsY mi barco de vela son mis cantares
That carries hidden as a stowawayQue lleva escondida de polizón
The little rose lit upLa rosita encendida
That I had for a heartQue yo tenía por corazón
The little rose lit upLa rosita encendida
That I had for a heartQue yo tenía por corazón

A tiny little corner, tinyUn rinconcito chiquitito, chiquitín
By the shoreJunto a la orilla
That my tiny little boatQue me barquito chiquitito chiquitín
Lost its keelPerdió su quilla
Poor sailboat!¡Pobre barquito velero!
That escaped from my handQue de mi mano escapó
It went after a star, white starFue detrás de un lucero, blanco lucero
And it shipwreckedY naufragó
The puddles of waterLos charquitos de agua
Play at seasJuegan a mares
And my sailboatY mi barco de vela
Are my songsSon mis cantares
That carries hidden as a stowawayQue se lleva escondida de polizón
The little rose lit upLa rosita encendida
That I had for a heartQue yo tenía por corazón
The little rose lit upLa rosita encendida
That I had for a heartQue yo tenía por corazón
