La Canastita
Melania Pérez
The Little Basket
I am like the cicada
And a little basket, full of flowers
Short life and long fame
Always keep it, my dear
For they are my loves
And I spend my time singing
And a little basket, full of flowers
From night to morning
Always keep it, my dear
Oh, for they are my loves
And a little basket, full of flowers
And a little basket, full of flowers
Always keep it, my dear
For they are my loves
Always keep it, my dear
For they are my loves
On the banks of a man
And a little basket, full of flowers
A river was sitting
Always keep it, my dear
Oh, for they are my loves
Sharpening his horse
And a little basket, full of flowers
And giving water to his knife
Always keep it, my dear
For they are my loves
And a little basket, full of flowers
And a little basket, full of flowers
Always keep it, my dear
For they are my loves
Always keep it, my dear
For they are my loves
