El sombrerito

(Ballroom dance)

A little bird in the forest
almost dying of pain
crying and saying:
"Love costs so much."

Columbé, columbé, columbé,
columbé, columbé, columbá,
they call me here,
they call me there.

Hat on top of hat,
little hat to your place.
Hat on top of hat,
little hat to your place.

They told me you're getting married,
that's what people say.
That everything will be in one day,
your wedding and my death.
