Paisanita de Mis Pagos

Country Girl from My Hometown

Paisanita de Mis Pagos

In my hometown there's a country girlHay en mi pago una paisanita
And in many leagues, there's no one prettierY en muchas leguas no hay otra más churita

Her big eyes look like starsSus grandes ojos parecen luceros
Two little suns that light up my pathDos quellusisas que alumbran mi sendero

Lips of red, honey from the quellLabio de grana, mielcita de quella
When she smiles, by God, how beautiful!Cuando sonríe, por Dios, ¡qué cosa bella!

Every now and then she goes to the damDe cuando en cuando se va a la represa
As soon as I arrive, smiling, she moves away from meCuantito llego sonriendo se me aleja

Her joyful and crystal-clear laughterSu risa alegre y tan cristalina
Is the gift of a divine goddessEs el regalo de una diosa divina

All the guys sigh for herTodos los changos suspiran por ella
But she appears distant like a starPero se muestra lejana como estrella

Golden image that lives in my dreamsDorada imagen que habita en mis sueños
Oh, if I could one day be your owner!¡Ay, si pudiera ser un día tu dueño!

I try to talk to her but she doesn't let meIntento hablarle pero no me deja
As soon as I arrive, smiling, she moves away from meCuantito llego sonriendo se me aleja
