Yo soy basurita,

I am a little piece of trash,

Soy basurita que arrastra el viento.

Cuando vine al mundo,

When I came into the world,

Yo naci llorando,

Y ay desde ese entonces sigo llorando, sigo llorando.

And since then, I continue crying, I keep crying.

Soy como el ave que va volando,

Que va volando,

Por un desierto,

Through a desert,

Por un desierto,

Quien de mi se apiade,

Soy una plumita,

I am a little feather,

Soy basurita que lleva el aire.

I am a little piece of trash carried by the wind.

Ay cuanta amargura,

Oh, how much bitterness,

Siento al acordarme,

I feel when I remember,

Cuando yo era niña,

When I was a girl,

Falto hasta el agua pa' bautisarme.

There wasn't even water for my baptism.

Soy como el ave que va volando,

I am like the bird that is flying,

Que va volando,

Por un desierto,

Through a desert,

Por un desierto,

Through a desert,
