La Piedrecita

Every time the evening falls
Instead of crying, I laugh
Remembering the little kisses
We gave each other by the river

With her trembling little mouth
She said to me, 'I'm cold'

Since I saw her coming
I've felt a passion
Since I saw her coming
I told my heart

What a pretty little stone
To make me stumble

The woman is a pear
That ripens on the tree
And the man despairs
To enjoy her beauty

And the desperate man
And she dries up and ripens

The woman is like the child
Who gets angry and throws the bread
Giving him a little love
He picks it up and asks for more
I will continue loving you
If you have the will

To love one is nothing
To love two is falsehood
To love three or deceive four
Is a grace that God gives us
I will continue loving you
If you have the will

Now with this I say goodbye
Plucking a little rose
Here they end singing
Verses of the little stone

I will continue loving you
Because you are the most beautiful
