Para que me quisieras

So You Would Love Me

Para que me quisieras

Ay, the damn quitters are leaving,Ay, ya se van los quitos mare,
ay, they're taking my Pepe away,ay, ya se llevan a mi Pepe,
I no longer have anyone to bring meya no tengo quien me traiga
hairpins for my bun.horquillas pa' mi roete.

So you would love me, my lovePara que me quisieras amor mío
I climbed the mountain to catch stars,subí a la montaña a conger estrellas,
I drank the waters that the river washed,deuve las aguas que llave el río,
I picked a branch in spring.bajé una rama a la primavera.

So that you would love mePara que tú me quieras
like I love youcomo yo te quiero
ask the wind in my handkerchief,pregúntale al aire de mi pañuelo,
ask what,pregunta qué,
what was wrongqué le passaba
that the dawn found her barefoot.que andaba descalza la madrugda.

From your ear, a seashell,De tu oilla caracola,
from your garden, a lily,de tu jardín azucena,
from your heart, a dove,de tu corazón paloma,
from you, if you would love me.de ti si tú me quisieras.
