Español
Como aquel pajarito cantor
que tenía los ojos sin luz
y en su jaula dorada cantó
su canción de dolor.
Yo también a tu lado, alguna vez,
a escuchar tu canción me acerqué
y era tan seductor tu cantar
que en tu cárcel quedé.
Pajarito cantor,
si te vas de aquí
yo no sé si olvidar
que te conocí.
No quisiera llorar
sobre mi dolor,
ni tampoco pensar
en mi pobre amor.
(Instrumental)
Y quién,
quién te cuidará
si te vas así,
sin decirme adiós.
English
Like that singing bird
that had eyes without light
and in its golden cage sang
its song of pain.
I too by your side, some time,
to listen to your song I came close
and so seductive was your singing
that I stayed in your prison.
Little singing bird,
if you leave from here
I don't know if I should forget
that I met you.
I don't want to cry
for my pain
nor to think of
my poor love.
(Instrumental)
And who,
who will take care of you
if you leave like this,
without saying goodbye to me.
