La Calandria
Pedro InfanteLyrics
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
