Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Cigarra by Natalia Lafourcade from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Estoy aqu con las hojas las hormigas
I am here with the leaves the ants
espero tu llegada aqu sentada en el jardn.
I await your arrival here sitting in the garden.
Tal vez vendrs, no hay sentido en la espera.
Maybe you will come, there is no point in waiting.
Tal vez no llegars why te voy a esperar.
Maybe you won't arrive and I'm going to wait for you.
El sol, mis pies se han calentado tanto.
The sun, my feet have gotten so hot.
Estoy bajo el sol para verte sonrer,
I'm under the sun to see you smile
para verte como comes con las manos
to see how you eat with your hands
why estar a tus pies.
and be at your feet.
Quiero verte why serte fiel.
I want to see you and be faithful to you.
El sol recorre el cielo,
The sun runs across the sky
pido que se pare el tiempo.
I ask that time stop.
Conspira universo
conspire universe
para que me llegue el amor.
for love to come to me
El sol recorre el cielo,
The sun runs across the sky
se ha perdido la imaginacin,
the imagination has been lost
ahora tiene vida
now has life
en el cuento que he compuesto yo.
in the story that I have composed.
Lala larala lara
lala larala lara
lala lalala.
La la la la la la.
Lala larala lara

Estoy aqu con las mariposas rojas.
I am here with the red butterflies.
Espero bajo el cielo why el cielo es azul.
I wait under the sky and the sky is blue.
Si vienes te dar una paleta, una galleta
If you come I will give you a popsicle, a cookie
why si no llegas es porque no debe ser.
and if you don't arrive it's because it shouldn't be.
Lala larala lara
lala larala lara
lala lalala.
La la la la la la.
Lala larala lara
lala larala lara
lala lalala
La la la la la la
