Paroles et traduction Celia Cruz - La Sitiera

La Sitiera

Sitiera mà a dime que has hecho
De nuestro dulce hogar
Cuna que un dà a, fue la alegrà a
De todo aquel sitial

Lágrimas vierte, la sitierà a
Que tiende a desolar
Y es por no verte reina, que un dà a
Fuiste de aquel lugar

Ya el jilguero se alejó
De aquel frondoso algarrobo
Y hasta la mata de jobo
Nos da muestras de dolor

La sitiera se ha marchado
Y yo enamorado lloro por su amor
Y es para la sitierà a
Cual si fuera un dà a que le falta el sol

The Palm Tree

My palm tree, tell me what you've done
With our sweet home
A cradle that one day, was the joy
Of that whole place

Tears are falling, the palm tree
That is tending to desolation
And it is because I don't see you, queen, who one day
Were of that place

Already the goldfinch has left
Of that leafy carob tree
And even the hog plum tree
Shows us its sorrow

The palm tree is gone
And I, in love, cry for her love
And it is for the palm tree
As if it were a day that the sun is missing
