Una Estrella Chiquitita
Camarón de La Isla
A Little Star
A little star follows me, follows me
A tiny star,
Tiny but firm.
Get off the wall,
Oh, let a saint come and tell you
And tell you to leave.
Joselito, Joselito,
I told you well
Not to go to Talavera
That it would be your downfall.
I shouldn't love you
But I do,
And this affection has
My sorrow
That for loving you so much
I despair,
But if you were to die
I would be happy.
And I wouldn't want you to come back
But I wait for you,
And the great affection
Oh, of idolatry
That for loving you so much
I despair,
But if you were to die
I would die.
There's no place for love,
If what you have is space
You lack the will.
I have a sphere
Where I sleep
My drunkenness.
