La Vaca Mariposa
Simón Díaz
The Butterfly Cow
The butterfly cow had a calf
A cute little calf like a baby
"Give it to me, daddy" say the children when they see it born
and she hides it in the bushes that I don't know
The butterfly cow had a calf
The savannah offers to turn green
The little streams all bring flowers at dawn
and she hides it in the bushes that I don't know
The butterfly cow had a calf
And the parrots go and the hawk too
With local fruits to the hut, for him
And the butterfly is at a loss
Because she knows his fate
The butterfly cow had a calf
A cute little calf like a baby
"Give it to me, daddy" say the children when they see it born
and she hides it in the bushes that I don't know
The butterfly cow had a calf
The savannah offers to turn green
The little streams all bring flowers at dawn
and she hides it in the bushes that I don't know
The butterfly cow had a calf
And the parrots go and the hawk too
With local fruits to the hut, for him
And the butterfly is at a loss
Because she knows his fate
