El Jacalito

The Little Shack

El Jacalito

I have my little shackYo tengo mi jacalito
By the edge of a vineyardA la orias de un parral
For a beautiful womanPara una mujer bonita
Who wants to accompany meQue me quiera acompañar

How beautiful, shortyQue bonita chaparrita
To be my lovePara que fuera mi amor
If they were to kill me for herSi por ella me mataran
I wouldn't even feel the painNo sentiria ni el dolor

Love me, don't be ungratefulQuiereme no seas ingrata
Look, don't treat me badlyMira no me pagues mal
Love me while I liveQuierem mientras yo viva
How long will I last for youQue tanto te he de durar

How beautiful you are growingQue bonita vas creciendo
Like a rice plantComo la mata de arroz
May God keep you for many yearsDios te guarde muchos años
So we can stroll togetherPara pasearnos los dos

How beautiful you are growingQue bonita vas creciendo
Like a wheat plantComo la mata de trigo
May God keep you for many yearsDios te guarde muchos años
So I can marry youPara casarme contigo

When cutting a sunflowerAl cortar un girasol
A branch tilted for meSe me ladeo una ramita
Love has its waysQue cosas tiene el amor
That take away all fearsQue todos los miedos quita
