Lyrics and translation Pablo Milanés - Mariposita De Primavera




Mariposita De Primavera
Small Butterfly of Spring
Mariposita de primavera
Little butterfly of spring
Alma con alas, que errante vas
Soul with wings, who errantly go
Por los jardines de mi quimera
Through the gardens of my reverie
Como un suspiro de amor fugaz.
Like a fleeting sigh of love.
Cuando te alejes a otras regiones
When you go to other regions
Llévale un ruego de adoración
Carry a plea of adoration
A la que un día me dió ilusiones
To she who once gave me illusions
Que se trocaron en decepciones
Which turned into disappointments,
Que hoy llevo dentro del corazón.
Which I now carry in my heart.
Yo quiero verla para besarla
I want to see her to kiss her
Con esos besos que a la flor
With those kisses that you give to flowers
Das cuando quieres la miel robarle
When you wish to steal their honey
Para embriagarte, cual yo de amor.
To become intoxicated, as I am with love.
Mariposita de primavera
Little butterfly of spring
Alma con alas, si es que la ves
Soul with wings, if you should see her
Dile que torne mi compañera
Tell her to return as my companion
A los jardines de mi quimera
To the gardens of my reverie
No no vuelvas jamás, tal vez.
You yourself do not return, perhaps.
