El Sauce Y La Palma
Valentín Elizalde
Lyrics
Translation
El sauce y la palma se mecen con calma
The willow and the palm sway calmly
sus hojas se visten de una cara azul
Their leaves are dressed in a blue face
que hermosos sombrios del sauce y la palma
How beautiful and somber are the willow and the palm
alma de mi alma que linda eres tu.
Soul of my soul, how lovely you are
Al borde del alba la niebla es ligera
At the edge of dawn, the mist is light
que lindo es el sol que alumbra la tierra
How beautiful is the sun that illuminates the earth
que dicha tan grande del hombre que espera
What great joy for the man who waits
su fiel compañera la dueña de su amor.
