La Pajita

Esta que era una niña de cera

This was a wax girl

Pero no era una niña de cera

But she was not a wax girl

Era una gavilla parada en la era

She was a sheaf standing in the threshing floor

Pero no era una gavilla

But she was not a sheaf

Sino la flor tiesa de la maravilla

Rather the stiff flower of the marvel

Tampoco era la flor, sino que era

Nor was it the flower, but

Un rayito de Sol pegado a la vidriera

A little ray of sun stuck to the window

No era un rayito de Sol siquiera

It wasn't even a little ray of sun

Una pajita dentro de mis ojitos era

A little straw inside my little eyes was

Alléguense a mirar como he perdido entera

Come closer to see how I have completely lost

En este lagrimón, mi fiesta verdadera

In this big tear, my true celebration
