La pajarera
Los Cadetes de Linares
The birdhouse
Upon arriving at the affectionate station,
Where the birds sang joyfully,
Let's go then my dear Rosita,
To listen to these sweet songs
Here I bring the nets Rosita,
To see how many I can catch,
Little birds that sing happily,
They will be paid a good price
A goldfinch bird has fallen,
A wild bird has fallen,
A couple of sparrows have fallen,
The hawk prisoner has fallen
When you go to Mexico Rosita,
To sell them in the capital,
Five pesos will be the lowest price,
That they can be worth over there
If a lady passing by asks you,
If they are wild birds,
You will tell her that their land is not here,
That you bring them from a warm land
Rosita is leaving and retiring,
She says goodbye with pleasure and zeal,
I am, gentlemen, the birdkeeper,
Who among you will go with her
