Pajarillo Verde

Green bird, how can you not want me to cry,
Green bird, how can I not cry,
Oh, oh, oh, if I only have one life,
Green bird, and they want to take it away from me

Green bird, how can you not want me to cry,
Green bird, how can I not cry,
Oh, oh, oh, if the crickets they take from me,
Green bird, they stick them back on me.

Green bird, yesterday you went to cut firewood,
Green bird, you passed by my field,
Oh, oh, oh, and everyone knew about it,
Green bird, because of your bad female companion.

Green bird, what can an Indian give you,
Green bird, no matter how much you love him.
Oh, oh, oh, a string of crabs,
Green bird, and that will be when it rains.
