Translation

En una jaula de oro

In a cage of gold

Pendiente de un balcon

Hanging from a balcony

Se hallaba una calandria

There was a lark

Cantando su dolor

Singing its sorrow


Hasta que un gorrioncillo

Until a little sparrow

A su jaula llego

Came to its cage

"Si usted puede sacarme

"If you can free me

Con usted yo me voy"

With you, I'll go"


Y el pobre gorrioncillo

And the poor little sparrow

De ella se anamoro

Fell in love with her

Y el pobre como pudo

And, as best as he could,

Los alambres rompio

He broke the wires


Y la ingrata calandria

And the ungrateful lark

Despues que la saco

After he freed her

Tan luego se vio libre

As soon as she was free

¡Volo, volo y volo!

She flew, flew, and flew!


El pobre gorrioncillo

The poor little sparrow

Todavia la siguio

Still followed her

Pa ver si le cumplia

To see if she would fulfill

Lo que le prometio

What she promised him


La malvada calandria

The wicked lark

Esto le contesto:

This is what she replied:

"A usted no lo conozco

"I don't know you

Ni presa he sido yo"

Nor have I been caught"


Y triste el gorrioncillo

And sad, the little sparrow

Luego se regreso

Then turned back

Se paro en un manzano

He stood on an apple tree

Lloro, lloro y lloro

Cried, cried, and cried


Y ahora en esa jaula

And now in that cage

Pendiente del balcon

Hanging from the balcony

Se encuentra el gorrioncillo

The little sparrow is

Cantando su pasion

Singing its passion
