La Canastita
Yo soy como la chicharra
Y una canastita, llenita de flores
Corta vida y larga fama
Conservala siempre, vidita
Que son mis amores
Y me la paso cantando
Y una canastita, llenita de flores
De la noche a la mañana
Conservala siempre, vidita
Ay, que son mis amores
Y una canastita, llenita de flores
Y una canastita, llenita de flores
Conservala siempre, vidita
Que son mis amores
Conservala siempre, vidita
Que son mis amores
A las orillas de un hombre
Y una canastita, llenita de flores
Estaba sentado un río
Conservala siempre, vidita
Ay, que son mis amores
Afilando a su caballo
Y una canastita, llenita de flores
Y dando agua a su cuchillo
Conservala siempre, vidita
Que son mis amores
Y una canastita, llenita de flores
Y una canastita, llenita de flores
Conservala siempre, vidita
Que son mis amores
Conservala siempre, vidita
Que son mis amores
The Little Basket
I am like the cicada
And a little basket, full of flowers
Short life and long fame
Always keep it, my dear
For they are my loves
And I spend my time singing
And a little basket, full of flowers
From night to morning
Always keep it, my dear
Oh, for they are my loves
And a little basket, full of flowers
And a little basket, full of flowers
Always keep it, my dear
For they are my loves
Always keep it, my dear
For they are my loves
On the banks of a man
And a little basket, full of flowers
A river was sitting
Always keep it, my dear
Oh, for they are my loves
Sharpening his horse
And a little basket, full of flowers
And giving water to his knife
Always keep it, my dear
For they are my loves
And a little basket, full of flowers
And a little basket, full of flowers
Always keep it, my dear
For they are my loves
Always keep it, my dear
For they are my loves
