Paroles et traduction Pepe Ramos - El Pajarillo

El Pajarillo

Yo soy aquel pajarillo que ayer te canto al oído
Mientras que tú me ignorabas me fui metiendo en tu nido
Y ya vez ahora me ruegas para que sea tu marido, ¡ey!

Me dicen que pajarillo porque ando libre y soy muy feliz
Le canto a todas las chicas, me tratan bien, por eso ando aqui
Cuando yo tengo mucha hambre les chiflo y vienen a mi
Les pico la papayita, me dan alpiste y ajonjolí
Me dan alpiste y ajonjolí

Más vale pájaro en mano, dijo una mujer soltera
Cuando agarro mi pescuezo y me sacudió la mollera
Me dijo: "si no te escapas aquí tendrás lo que quieras"

Me dicen el pajarillo, yo le canto a puras damas
Porque son más cariñosas, bailan conmigo y también me aman
Les toco lo que me digan, no le hace que sean casadas
Me refiero a una chilena, una bachata, una lambada
Me dicen el pajarillo

Negra te quiero llevar pa ver si te hago a mi modo
Me dijo: "pa que me quiere si estás aguado de todo
Lo único que tienes duro son los talones y el codo"
¡Ay, mamacita!

Me dicen el pajarillo, me cargan de boca en boca
Y no sean tan mal pensados solo es amor lo que a mí me toca
Les toco lo que me digan, no le hace que sean casadas
Me refiero a una chilena, una bachata, una lambada
Me dicen el pajarillo

Les toco lo que me digan, no le hace que sean casadas
Me refiero a una chilena, una bachata, una lambada
Me dicen el pajarillo

The Little Bird

I am the little bird that was singing to you yesterday
While you were ignoring me, I crept into your nest
And now, you're begging me to be your husband, hey!

They call me a little bird because I am free and happy
I sing to all the girls, and they treat me well, that's why I'm here
When I'm hungry, I whistle and they come to me
I peck at their papaya, and they give me millet and sesame seeds
They give me millet and sesame seeds

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, said a single woman
When she grabbed me by the neck and shook my head
She said, "If you don't escape, you will have everything you want here"

They call me the little bird, and I sing only to ladies
Because they are more affectionate, they dance with me, and they love me too
I play whatever they tell me to, even if they are married
I refer to a Chilean dance, a bachata, a lambada
They call me the little bird

Black woman, I'd like to take you home and see if I can make you my way
She said, "Why do you want me if you're weak?"
The only thing you have hard is your heels and elbows"
Oh, mommy!

They call me the little bird, they talk about me everywhere
And don't be so quick to judge, it's only love that touches me
I play whatever they tell me to, even if they are married
I refer to a Chilean dance, a bachata, a lambada
They call me the little bird

I play whatever they tell me to, even if they are married
I refer to a Chilean dance, a bachata, a lambada
They call me the little bird
