Lyrics and translation Pedrito Fernandez - Mi Aguililla Pecho Blanco

Mi Aguililla Pecho Blanco

Vino volando del monte
Con una alita quebrada
Y sus patitas cansadas
Llenas de sangre y dolor

Yo la tomé entre mis manos
Y la curé tiernamente
Y un piquetito en la frente
Muy suavemente me dió

Mi aguililla pecho blanco
Como me acuerdo de ti
Fuiste amiga mi mascota
Y fiel guardián para mi

Yo la cargaba en el hombro
Luego muy ágil volaba
Y en las noches vigilaba
Desde un frondoso frutal

Mi aguililla pecho blanco
Como me acuerdo de ti
Fuiste amiga mi mascota
Y fiel guardián para mi Del cascabel me cuidaba
Con el coyote reñia
Hasta que rendido huia
Allá por el matorral

Han pasado cinco meses
Y una tarde de febrero
Se fué por otro sendero
Tras de una presa a volar

Mi aguililla pecho blanco
Como me acuerdo de ti
Fuiste amiga mi mascota
Y fiel guardián para mi

Del cascabel me cuidaba
Con el coyote reñia
Hasta que rendido huia
Allá por el matorral

Han pasado cinco meses
Y una tarde de febrero
Se fué por otro sendero
Tras de una presa a volar

Mi aguililla pecho blanco
Como me acuerdo de ti
Fuiste amiga mi mascota
Y fiel guardián para mi

Más como no regresaba
Atravesé la laguna
Y solo hallé blancas plumas
Y huellas de otro animal

Del cascabel me cuidaba
Con el coyote reñia
Hasta que rendido huia
Allá por el matorral Han pasado cinco meses
Y una tarde de febrero
Se fué por otro sendero
Tras de una presa a volar

My Little White-Breasted Eagle

It flew down from the mountain
With a broken wing
And its tired feet
Full of blood and pain

I took it in my hands
And I gently nursed it
And a little peck on the forehead
Very gently it gave me

My white-breasted eagle
How I remember you
You were my friend, my pet
And my faithful guardian

I carried it on my shoulder
Then it flew very nimbly
And at night it kept watch
From a leafy fruit tree

My white-breasted eagle
How I remember you
You were my friend, my pet
And my faithful guardian You took care of me from the rattlesnake
You fought with the coyote
Until it surrendered and fled
There in the thicket

Five months have passed
And one February afternoon
You went by another path
To fly after some prey

My white-breasted eagle
How I remember you
You were my friend, my pet
And my faithful guardian

You took care of me from the rattlesnake
You fought with the coyote
Until it surrendered and fled
There in the thicket

Five months have passed
And one February afternoon
You went by another path
To fly after some prey

My white-breasted eagle
How I remember you
You were my friend, my pet
And my faithful guardian

But as you didn't come back
I crossed the lagoon
And I only found white feathers
And tracks of another animal

You took care of me from the rattlesnake
You fought with the coyote
Until it surrendered and fled
There in the thicket Five months have passed
And one February afternoon
You went by another path
To fly after some prey
