Pajarillo verde, como no quieres que llore,

Little green bird, how do you not want me to cry,

Pajarillo verde, como no voy a llorar,

Little green bird, how am I not going to cry,

Ay, ay, ay, si una sola vida tengo,

Oh, oh, oh, if I only have one life,

Pajarillo verde, y me la quieren quitar

Little green bird, and they want to take it away from me.


Pajarillo verde, como no quieres que llore,

Little green bird, how do you not want me to cry,

Pajarillo verde, como no voy a llorar,

Ay, ay, ay, si los grillos que me quitan,

Oh, oh, oh, if the crickets that take from me,

Pajarillo verde, me los vuelven a pegar.

Pajarillo verde, y ayer fuiste a cortar leña,

Little green bird, and yesterday you went to chop wood,

Pajarillo verde, pasaste por mi conuco,

Ay, ay, ay, y todo el mundo lo supo,

Oh, oh, oh, and everyone knew it,

Pajarillo verde, por tu mala compañera.

Pajarillo verde, que te puede dar un indio,

Little green bird, what can an Indian give you,

Pajarillo verde, por mucho que tu lo quieras.

Ay, ay, ay, una ensarta de cangrejos,

Oh, oh, oh, a string of crabs,

Pajarillo verde, y eso sera cuando llueva.

Little green bird, and that will be when it rains.
