Quisiera Ser Pajarillo [English translation]

I want to walk on the clouds

so I can bring down a star for you

to see then you'll understand, mistress of my soul

how much I love you.

I want to be in your heart

and know who you're sighing for

to know what you're thinking of

mistress of my soul, when you look at me.

I want to be a bird so I could fly straight ahead

and gather a handful of luck

and make a nest in your heart.

It'll be impossible to forget you

if I still love you, my darling1

your caresses are my comfort, my happiness.

I want to be by your side so I may caress you

and hold you in my arms for all my life

to go on loving you.

1. lit. 'my life'
