Pajarillo Barranqueño

Little Bird from the Ravine

Pajarillo Barranqueño

Little bird, little birdPajarillo, Pajarillo
Little bird from the ravinePajarillo barranqueño
How beautiful eyes you haveQue bonitos ojos tienes
It's a pity they have an ownerLástima que tengan dueño

Which bird is thatQue Pajarillo es aquel
Singing in that lime treeQue canta en aquella lima
Go tell him not to singAnda dile que no cante
It hurts my heartQue a mi corazón lástima

Take this little golden keyToma esta llavita de oro
Open my chest and you'll seeAbre mi pecho y verás
How much I love youLo mucho que yo te quiero
And the bad payment you give meY el mal pago que me das

Take this little golden boxToma esta cajita de oro
See what's insideMira lo que lleva dentro
It carries love, and more jealousyLleva amores, y más celos
And a bit of sentimentY un poco de sentimiento

Which bird is thatQue Pajarillo es aquel
Singing in that fig treeQue canta en aquella higuera
Go tell him not to singAnda dile que no cante
Waiting for my deathQue espera que yo me muera

With this I bid you farewellYa con esta me despido
With a saddened soulCon el alma entristecida
I sang to you the painsYa te canté los dolores
And sorrows of my lifeY las penas de mi vida
