¿Adónde vas, jilguerillo?

Rolando Alárcon Rolando Alárcon

Where are you going, little goldfinch?

(Tune from the Ñuble Region, popularized by Violeta Parra who learned it from her mother, Clarisa Sandoval)

Where are you going, little goldfinch,
with that shortened flight?
Go and take a sigh
to the image of my lady.

The other day on a branch
I saw a goldfinch singing.
I said to myself: this is the messenger
with whom I sent my sigh.

He sang and I asked him
why he sang so sadly.
Because I didn't get a response
from the sigh you gave me.
