La Mariposa
Miguel Aceves Mejía
The Butterfly
Around a rose a butterfly flew and flew
But it flew so strongly that a thorn remained deeply embedded
That's what happened to me since your eyes stopped looking at me
Look at how you have me here on my knees kissing your hands
I swear I never swore to any woman
This one gave me tenderness, my luck that I finally found
You are a dewdrop that cried early in the morning
When the sun rises and kisses it, trembling, it falls and spills
Do me a favor, little one, accept this nameless flower as a token
So you can learn the true value of your man's love
I swear I never swore to any woman
This one gave me tenderness, my luck that I finally found
