Los Vergelitos
Estos son los vergelitos
donde los dos nos recreamos
ahora que estamos solitos
que dises prieta nos vamos
a cortar los vergelitos
de a quellos hermosos llanos
mi morena me mando...
a una ciudad muy lejana
me encargo que le trajera..
una lechuga alemana
un clavelito frances
y una flor americana
en un barandal de acreo
se paseaba el rey de roma
si ellos fueran justicieros
apresaria al que lo adora
y asta lo libertaria
por las leyes que ay ahora
The Little Gardens
These are the little gardens
where we both enjoy ourselves
now that we are alone
what do you say, darling, shall we go
and pick the little gardens
from those beautiful plains
my brunette sent me...
to a very distant city
she asked me to bring her..
a German lettuce
a French carnation
and an American flower
on a steel railing
the king of Rome strolled
if they were just
they would imprison the one who adores him
and even set him free
by the laws that exist now
