El Pajarillo (feat. Tito Puente)

Ah

Little bird
Little bird

Tell me if you want to fly
Don't clip your wings
To see you walk
You told me you were strong
Like the palm in the plain

If the palm were strong
The worm wouldn't bite it
The wind wouldn't deceive it
The summer wouldn't dry it
They can call me

Thunder, lightning, and thunderbolt
If a good breeze hits me
I fly more than a kite
I'm the one who walks at night
Alone in the neighborhood

I know where the dog barks
And I know where the rooster crows
And I know why the girls in my neighborhood are envious

Ah

Little bird
Little bird

That flies through your fantasies
Why don't you fly now?
Spring is coming
And you told me you were strong
Like the plain palm

If the palm were strong
The fire wouldn't burn it
The wind wouldn't deceive it
Like the plainsman touches it
They can call me

The bugle of laments
I'm the one who makes hearts cry
From the inside
I'm like the lantern
That has the light inside

I, yeah
That comes from time to time
I'm like the hummingbird
That is always very happy
With roses
The rose bushes

And from the moors to the wind
And from the ungrateful woman
With bad gratitude
I'm like the yiyiyi
Who likes what's inside
I'm like my gypsy
Who has the light inside

Ah
Ah
Ah
