Translation

A la orilla de un palmar

On the edge of a palm grove

Yo vide una joven bella

I saw a beautiful young woman

Su boquita de coral

Her little coral mouth

Sus ojitos, dos estrellas.

Her little eyes, two stars.


Al pasar le pregunté

As I passed by, I asked

Que quién estaba con ella

Who was with her

Y me respondió llorando:

And she answered me crying:

Sola vivo en el palmar.

I live alone in the palm grove.


Soy huerfanita ¡ay!

I am an orphan, oh!

No tengo padre ni madre

I have no father or mother

Ni un amigo¡ay!

Nor a friend, oh!

Que me venga a consolar.

To console me.


Solita paso la vida

I live my life alone

A la orilla del palmar

On the edge of the palm grove

Y solita voy y vengo

And alone I come and go

Como las olas del mar.

Like the waves of the sea.
