El chincolito

The Little Finch
The little finch and the female finch
Grabbed each other by the tail.
The finch, the finch
doves, thrushes,
the small birds,
the big birds.
My life, little finch, flew away,
I'm yours, yours.
My life inside a convent
life of my love.
My life a scared nun came out
I'm yours, yours.
My life with the little finch inside
life of my love.
My life, little finch, flew away
I'm yours, yours.
Little finch is a devil when in love,
I'm yours, yours.
Bows its head, for the tail,
life of my love.
Little finch is a devil when in love,
I'm yours, yours.
For the tail, yes, the little finch,
I'm yours, yours.
Pretends to be crying, that little devil,
life of my love.
Childish little finch,
I'm tired now,
I'm yours, yours.
