La Casita Lyrics in English by Omar Chaparro
Trigal translates to "wheat field". It's a charming and picturesque word that evokes a sense of rustic beauty and nature.
In the song, the singer describes his little house as being "más abajo del trigal" (further down from the wheat field), painting a vivid image of its idyllic, rural setting. This word helps set the scene for the cozy and inviting home he's describing.
Omar Chaparro invites us to his charming little house in "La Casita"! He's trying to convince a special woman to come with him, asking, "Vengase mi reina, para la casita" [Come, my queen, to the little house]. He describes his humble abode with such warmth, you can almost feel the sun and hear the cicadas. It's a simple life he offers, with grapevines, a fountain with a snail, and jasmine covering the walls.
Inside, it's just as cozy. There's a hammock on the porch, a cow in the yard, and his dog and him inside. He even has a Virgin of Guadalupe statue watching over him, "Ella me cuida si duermo me vela si estoy enfermo y me ayuda a cosechar" [She watches over me if I sleep, cares for me if I'm sick, and helps me harvest]. The bed smells of broom flowers and is as clean as the woman he's inviting. He has a canary, a mirror, and a wardrobe he won at a fair. But even with all its beauty, there's a sadness because she's not there: "Me he metido en la cabeza que hay ahí mucha tristeza, creo que por que falta usted" [I've gotten it into my head that there's a lot of sadness there, I think because you are missing]. It's a sweet, heartfelt invitation to share his simple, loving home.
