Buscara arco iris

Pa' hace' una trenza en su pelo
To make a braid in your hair
Y te diera el verde

Prestado del llano
Borrowed from the plain
Y la cordillera de mi mano
And the mountain range from my hand
Y un racimo 'e nube'
And a cluster of clouds
Bajo los cristales
Beneath the windowpanes
Y el rocío que moja
And the dew that wets
Mis rosales
My rose bushes

Did you like this lyrics translation?
cocuyo — firefly
Cocuyo is a charming and somewhat rare word for 'firefly' or 'lightning bug'. It's not a word you hear every day, making it particularly memorable and unique to this song.
In the lyrics, Juan Luis Guerra uses this word to paint a beautiful, almost magical, image: "Si fueras cocuyo que vive a la vera 'el río, yo sería la luna que prendiera tu cariño." This poetic comparison elevates the simple firefly into a symbol of light and affection, making it an enticing word for learners.
