Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Calandria by Pedro Infante from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
En una jaula de oro
in a golden cage
Pendiente del balcón
balcony slope
Se hallaba una calandria
There was a calandria
Cantando su dolor
singing his pain
Hasta que un gorrioncillo
until a sparrow
A su jaula llego
I come to his cage
Si usted puede sacarme
if you can get me out
Con usted yo me voy
with you I go
Y el pobre gorrioncillo
and the poor little sparrow
De ella se enamoro
he fell in love with her
Y el pobre como pudo
And the poor as he could
Los alambres rompió
the wires snapped
Y la ingrata calandria
and the ungrateful calandria
Después que la sacó
After she took it out
Tan luego se vio libre
So then she was free
Voló, voló y voló
She flew and flew and flew
El pobre gorrioncillo
the poor little sparrow
Todavía la siguió
she still followed her
Pa ver si le cumplía
To see if she complied
Lo que le prometió
what she promised
La malvada calandria
the evil calandria
Esto le contestó
This answered him
A usted no lo conozco
I don't know you
Ni presa he sido yo
I have not been prey
Y triste el gorrioncillo
And sad the little sparrow
Luego se regresó
then she turned back
Se paró en un manzano
She stood in an apple tree
Lloró, lloró y lloró
She cried and cried and cried
Y ahora en esa jaula
And now in that cage
Pendiente del balcón
balcony slope
Se encuentra el gorrioncillo
The little sparrow is found
Cantando su pasión
singing his passion
En una jaula de oro
in a golden cage
Pendiente del balcón
balcony slope
Se hallaba una calandria
There was a calandria
Cantando su dolor
singing his pain
Hasta que un gorrioncillo
until a sparrow
A su jaula llegó
He came to her cage
'Si usted puede sacarme
'If you can get me out
Con usted yo me voy'
I'm leaving with you
Y el pobre gorrioncillo
and the poor little sparrow
De ella se enamoro
he fell in love with her
Y el pobre como pudo
And the poor as he could
Los alambres rompió
the wires snapped
Y la ingrata calandria
and the ungrateful calandria
Después que la sacó
After she took it out
Tan luego se vio libre
So then she was free
Voló, voló y voló
She flew and flew and flew
