Текст и перевод песни Cristóbal Briceño - La Pajita

La Pajita

Esta que era una niña de cera,
Pero no era una niña de cera
Era una gavilla en la era.
Pero no era una gavilla,
Sino la flor tiesa de la maravilla.
Tampoco era la flor, sino que era
Un rayito de sol pegado a la vidriera.
No era un rayito de sol siquiera,
Una pajita dentro de mis ojitos era.
Alléguense a mirar como he perdido entera,
En este lagrimón, mi fiesta verdadera
Alléguense a mirar como he perdido entera,
En este lagrimón
Mi fiesta verdadera

Straw

She was a waxen girl,
But she was no waxen girl,
She was a sheaf upon a threshing floor.
But she was no sheaf,
But the stiff flower of the marvel of Peru.
Nor was she the flower, but rather
A ray of sunshine stuck to the windowpane.
No, not even a ray of sunshine,
A straw inside my little eyes.
Come see how I have lost my whole,
In this teardrop, my true feast
Come see how I have lost my whole,
In this teardrop
My true feast
