El Rebozo

The Shawl

El Rebozo

I have followed you for a year, womanYa te he seguido un año mujer
Every time I look at youCada vez que te miro
You hide behindTe escondes tras
The shawl, my dearDel rebozo mi bien

All I see are your little tags, womanNada mas veo tus chapitas mujer
Because you squeeze your eyesPorque aprietasos ojitos
And don't let me see themY no me los dejas ver

I have followed you for a year, womanYa te he seguido un año mujer
Every time I look at youCada vez que te miro
You hide behindTe escondes tras
The shawl, my dearDel rebozo mi bien

All I see are your little tags, womanNada mas veo tus chapitas mujer
Because you squeeze your eyesPorque aprietas los ojitos
And don't let me see themY no me los dejas ver

I already have a little hutYa tengo un jacalito
Where we can liveDonde podremos vivir
Very alone and closeMuy solos y juntitos
There we can love each otherAhí nos podremos querer

It's up on the hillEsta arriba de la loma
It's among the green cornfieldEsta entre el verde maizal
And very close to the riverY muy cerquita del río
So you can washPa' que tú puedas lavar

I already have a little hutYa tengo un jacalito
That is on top of the hillQue esta en lo alto de la loma
And it must be blessedY debe estar bendito
By a white dovePor una blanca paloma
