Mi Amigo

It slips through your fingersSe te escurre entre los dedos
like honey from the hive,como miel de la colmena,
Oh! who could catch it,Ay! quién pudiera atraparla,
Oh! who could drink it down.Ay! quién beberla pudiera.
Lips stained with joy.Los labios tintos de gozo.
Hands full of the wind.Las manos de viento llenas.
Crowned with orange blossoms,Se corona con azahares,
dressed in a full moon.se viste de luna llena.
And a tune floats in the airY anda una copla en el aire
calling out to anyone who dares,reclamando a quien quisiera,
to be kind and give lovele tenga a bien darle amores
if there's someone brave enough.si es que nació quien se atreva.

Sings under the moon with flutes of olive green,Canta bajo la luna con flautas de verde olivo,

She has the air of a fresh flower,Tiene aire de flor reciente,
things of a newlywed,cosas de recién casada,
