Chiquilla

Cuando te sientas muy sola

When you feel very lonely

y cuando quieras llorar,

and when you want to cry,

cuando sientas la tristeza

when you feel the sadness

de quien no es querido ya,

of someone no longer loved,

cuando las noches sean largas,

when the nights are long,

cuando no haya un despertar,

when there is no awakening,

vete a la orilla, chiquilla,

go to the shore, little girl,

vete a la orilla del mar.

go to the shore of the sea.

Yabayababai, yabayababai,

Yabayababai, yabayababai,

yabayababai, yabayababai.

yabayababai, yabayababai.

El primer beso que diste

The first kiss you gave

nunca lo vas a olvidar.

you will never forget.

No te preocupes, chiquilla,

Don't worry, little girl,

que a todos nos pasó igual.

we all went through the same.

Y si es por eso que lloras,

And if that's why you cry,

porque de ti se olvidó,

because someone forgot you,

fuera las penas, mi niña,

cast away the sorrows, my child,

que eso lo olvida otro amor.

another love will forget that.

Yabayababai, yabayababai,

Yabayababai, yabayababai,

yabayababai, yabayababai.

yabayababai, yabayababai.

Ya no te sientes tan sola.

You don't feel so lonely anymore.

Dime, chiquilla, que no.

Tell me, little girl, that you don't.

Ven, vamos, canta conmigo,

Come, let's sing together,

que esta será tú canción.

because this will be your song.

Cuando las noches sean largas,

When the nights are long,

cuando no haya un despertar,

when there is no awakening,

vete a la orilla, chiquilla;

go to the shore, little girl;

vete a la orilla del mar.

go to the shore of the sea.

Yabayababai, yabayababai,

Yabayababai, yabayababai,

yabayababai, yabayababai.

yabayababai, yabayababai.
