Текст и перевод песни Tita Parra - Adónde Vas Jilguerillo

Adónde Vas Jilguerillo

Adónde vai, jilguerillo,
Con ese abreviado vuelo?
Andá y llevale un suspiro
A la imagen de mi sueño.

Volando de rama en rama
Hai de llegar a su puerta,
Y no te vengái de allá
Hasta traerme respuesta.

L'otro día en una rama
Vi cantar un jilguerillo.
Me dije: este es el correo
Con quien mandé mi suspiro.

Me acerco y le pregunté
Por qué cantaba tan triste:
Porque no tuve respuesta
Del suspiro que me diste.

(Calla, jilguero, no cantes,
No me estés dando tormento.
Dile al ingrato que acuda
Tan solo por un momento).

(Jilguerillo volador,
Anda y llega a su ventana.
Dile por segunda vez
Que el pecho ya se me inflama).

(Viva la noble compaña,
Ganchito de cardenillo,
Correo más lisonjero
No habrá como el jilguerillo).

Where Are You Going, Little Goldfinch

Where are you going, little goldfinch,
With that short flight of yours?
Go and take a sigh
To the image of my dream.

Flying from branch to branch
You must reach her door,
And don't come back
Until you bring me an answer.

The other day on a branch
I saw a little goldfinch singing.
I said to myself: this is the messenger
With whom I sent my sigh.

I approached and asked him
Why he sang so sadly:
Because I had no answer
To the sigh you gave me.

(Be quiet, goldfinch, don't sing,
Don't torment me.
Tell the ungrateful one to come
Just for a moment).

(Little flying goldfinch,
Go and reach his window.
Tell him a second time
That my heart is already on fire).

(Long live the noble company,
Little goldfinch with the blue crest,
There will be no messenger more flattering
Than the little goldfinch).
