Tonadas de Ordeño

Milking Tunes

Tonadas de Ordeño

Dark and gloomy nightNoche oscura y tenebrosa
Lend me your clarityPréstame tu claridad
To follow in the footstepsPara seguirle los pasos
Of an ungrateful one who is leavingA una ingrata que se va
Tomorrow in the morningMañana por la mañana
Cover your courtyard with flowersCubre tu patio de flores
For the visitQue te viene a visitar
Of the Virgin of SorrowsLa Virgen de los Dolores

Little carnation, little carnation, little carnation, little carnationClavelito, clavelito, clavelito, clavelito
Morning starEstrella de la mañana
Bright morning star of the dayClaro lucero del día
Why didn't you wake me upCómo no me despertaste
When my soul was leavingSi se iba el alma mía

Butterfly, butterfly, butterflyMariposa, mariposa, mariposa

Up there on that hillAllá arriba en aquel cerro
I have a well of clear waterTengo un pozo de agua clara
Where the Virgin washesDonde se lava la Virgen
Her little feet and faceLos piecitos y la cara
Water cloud, water cloud, water cloudNube de agua, nube de agua, nube de agua
