I have a little petaca
To keep on storing
The pains and sorrows
I'm going through.
But someday,
But someday,
I'll open the little petaca
And I may find it empty
All men have
In their hats,
An inscription that says:
"I want to marry".
But someday,
But someday,
I'll open the petaquita
And I shall find it empty.
All the girls have
In their dresses,
An inscription that says:
"I want a husband".
They say it does,
But it doesn't do,
But I don't need to see realized
What I've never had.
But someday,
But someday,
I'll open the little petaca
And I may find it empty.
