Ay, ay, ay (uh)
Ay, ay, ay (uh)
Si yo fuera un peje
If I were a peje
Nadando cruzara el agua
Swimming will cross the water
Y un collar te diera
And a necklace would give you
Con besos de arena y algas
With kisses of sand and algae
Ay, ay, ay (uh)
Ay, ay, ay (uh)
Si yo fuera un ave
If I were a bird
Mi vida, volara al cielo
My life, will fly to heaven
Buscara arco iris
Search rainbow
Pa' hace' una trenza en su pelo
Pa' makes' a braid in her hair
Y te diera el verde
And I gave you the green
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 'e cloud'
Bajo los cristales
Under the glass
Y el rocío que moja
And the dew that wets
Mis rosales
My rose bushes
(¡Eh!) mmm, mmm
(Huh!) MMM, MMM
Ay, ay, ay (uh)
Ay, ay, ay (uh)
Si tú fueras pino
If you were pine
Que naciera en matorrales
Born in bushes
En la noche oscura
In the dark night
De estrellas te hiciera un traje
Of stars he made you a suit
Ay, ay, ay (uh)
Ay, ay, ay (uh)
Si fueras cocuyo
If you were cocuyo
Que vive a la vera 'el río
Who lives on the banks 'the river
Yo sería la luna
I would be the moon
Que prendiera tu cariño
That ignite your affection
Y tu cuerpo frágil
And your fragile body
Vistiera de flores
Dress in flowers
Y serías el sueño de mis amores
And you would be the dream of my loves
Y un jardín de espumas
And a foam garden
Colgar en tu cuello
Hanging on your neck
Y serías la reina de mi reino
And you would be the queen of my kingdom
Y te diera flores
And I gave you flowers
Pa' vestir tu cuerpo
To dress your body
Y un collar de arena
And a sandcut
Que adorne tu cuello
Let it adorn your neck
Te-te-te diera amores
Te-te-te gave you love
Para estar contigo
To be with you
Y la luz más clara
And the clearest light
Reina de mi reino
Queen of my kingdom
Uy, uy, uy, uy
Oops, uy, uy, uy
