Text Translation | Chamaquita de mi vida quiéreme porque llevo en mi pecho tu candor tu sonrisa que me alegra el corazón y tus ojos que desatan mi canción. Palomita de mi alma mírame pues el viento trae a mi tu dulce voz como el canto del cenzontle y del gorrión ha llenado con su acento mi ilusión. Chamaquita de mi tierra ven mi amor por el valle y por la sierra te busco yo oaxaqueña, prenda querida, flor de la piña ven hacia mi y daré mi canto, mi vida y todo por ti. Tortolita no dudes nunca más de mi amor del encanto que obra tu canto en mi dolor si me pides que al fin te quiera hasta la muerte buena suerte será quererte y morir al sol. Chamaquita de mi tierra ven mi amor..... / Sweet Girl of my Life, love me For I hold your candor in my breast Your smile brings joy to my heart Your eyes unravel my song. Dove of my Soul, look at me For the wind carries your sweet voice to me Just like the song of the mockingbird and the sparrow Its accents fill me with excitement. Sweet Girl of my Land, come, my love Through hills and valleys I search for you Oaxaqueña, Darling, Pineapple Flower, come to me And I will give my song, my life, and everything else to you My Turtledove, never doubt my love for you Your song casts a spell over my pain If at last you beg me to love you until death It would be my good fortune to love you and to die under the sun. Sweet Girl of my Land, come, my love ... |
