Lyrics of El Pajaro Azul - La Arrolladora Banda el Limón

El Pajaro Azul (original)

Te arranque de un camino muy triste
Te ayude a manos llenas en todo
Como al cielo no pude subirte
Te alfombre donde pisas con oro
Como a nadie en el mundo te quise
Ahora puedes creerme que te odio
Yo te puse las alas que tienes
Pero puedo cortarte las plumas
Si le digo a la gente quien eras
No te queda con que les presumas
Porque tu no naciste con bienes
Ni en la vida has tenido fortuna
Como Dios da la dicha y las penas
Yo te di algo que puedo quitarte;
Te subí a un pedestal de grandeza
Y te bajo si quiero bajarte
Pide a Dios que no diga quien eras
Porque ahí es donde está tu desastre
(Y él que no te conozca, que te compre chaparrita)
Más valía que te hubieras perdido
Donde nunca te hubiera encontrado
Porque así pensaría en tu cariño
Al igual que algo grande y sagrado
Pero sólo lo que has conseguido
Es que te hable con tanto descaro
Como Dios da la dicha y las penas
Yo te di algo que puedo quitarte
Te subí a un pedestal de grandeza
Y te bajo si quiero bajarte
Pide a Dios que no diga quien eras
Porque ahí es donde está tu desastre

(translation)

I ripped you off a very sad path
I help you hands full in everything
As to heaven I could not upload you
I carpet you where you step with gold
Like no one in the world I loved you
Now you can believe me that I hate you
I gave you the wings that you have
But I can clip your feathers
If I tell people who you were
You don't have to show them off
Because you were not born with goods
Not even in life have you had fortune
As God gives happiness and sorrows
I gave you something that I can take from you;
I put you on a pedestal of greatness
And I put you down if I want to put you down
Ask God not to say who you were
'Cause that's where your mess is
(And he who doesn't know you, who buys you shorty)
You better have missed
Where I never would have found you
Because that's how I would think of your love
Like something big and sacred
But only what you've got
Is that I speak to you with so much impudence
As God gives happiness and sorrows
I gave you something that I can take from you
I put you on a pedestal of greatness
And I put you down if I want to put you down
Ask God not to say who you were
'Cause that's where your mess is
