| Mariposita de primavera,
| spring butterfly,
|
| alma con alas que errante vas
| soul with wings that you wander
|
| por los jardines de mi quimera
| through the gardens of my chimera
|
| como un suspiro de amor fugaz.
| like a sigh of fleeting love.
|
| Cuando te alejes a otras regiones
| When you move away to other regions
|
| llévale un ruego de adoración
| bring him a prayer of adoration
|
| a la que un día me dio ilusiones
| to which one day he gave me illusions
|
| que se trocaron en decepciones
| that turned into disappointments
|
| que hoy llevo dentro del corazón.
| that today I carry inside my heart.
|
| Yo quiero verla para besarla
| I want to see her to kiss her
|
| como esos besos que, tú a la flor,
| like those kisses that, you to the flower,
|
| das cuando quieres la miel robarle
| you give when you want the honey to steal
|
| para embriagarte cual yo de amor.
| to intoxicate you as I do with love.
|
| Mariposita de primavera,
| spring butterfly,
|
| alma con alas si es que la ves
| soul with wings if you see it
|
| dile que torne mi compañera
| tell him to come back my partner
|
| a los jardines de mi quimera
| to the gardens of my chimera
|
| donde no vuelvas jamás tal vez. | where you may never return. |
