La Calandria (The Lark) Lyrics in English Linda Ronstadt
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Calandria (The Lark) by Linda Ronstadt from Spanish to English.
Refúgiense. que ahí viene la calandria
Take cover, because here comes the lark
¡Sí, señor!
Yes, sir!
Yo soy como la calandria
I'm like the lark
Que para formar su nido
that, to build its nest
Siempre busca rama fuerte
always looks for a strong branch
Para no verlo caído
so it won't see it fallen
Otros son como el venado
Others are like the deer
Que por listo y presumido
that, for being clever and conceited
Cuando anda de enamorado
when it's in love
Lo matan desprevenido
they kill him off guard
Ay ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ay
Las nubes van por el cielo
The clouds go through the sky
Los pescados por el agua
The fish through the water
El oro está bajo el suelo
Gold is under the ground
Y el amor en las enaguas
and love in the petticoats
¿Mi prieta linda
My pretty dark babe
Qué voy a hacer
What am I gonna do
Si tú me quitas
if you take from me
Este querer?
this love?
¿Mi prieta linda
My pretty dark babe
Qué voy a hacer
What am I gonna do
Si tú me quitas
if you take from me
Este querer?
this love?
Ahora prietita, cántale bonito como sabes
Now, babe, sing it pretty like you know
Juh-juh-juh-juh-juh-juh-juh
Juh-juh-juh-juh-juh-juh-juh
De que les sirve a los hombres
What good does it do men
Presumir de valentones
to brag they're tough guys
Si cuando están en su casa
if when they're in their house
Se les caen los pantalones
their pants fall down
También sucede otra cosa
Another thing also happens
Con los que son fanfarrones
with the ones that are blowhards
Cuando ven la cosa en serio
when they see the thing is serious
Les pasa algo en sus calzones
something happens in their underwear
Ay ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ay
Las nubes van por el cielo
The clouds go through the sky
Los pescados por el agua
The fish through the water
El oro está bajo el suelo
Gold is under the ground
Y el amor en las enaguas
and love in the petticoats
¿Mi prieta linda
My pretty dark babe
Qué voy a hacer
What am I gonna do
Si tú me quitas
if you take from me
Este querer?
this love?
¿Mi prieta linda
My pretty dark babe
Qué voy a hacer
What am I gonna do
Si tú me quitas
if you take from me
Este querer?
this love?
