| all ye maidens hear me warning
| todas las doncellas oídme advertir
|
| never trade the hearts of men
| nunca intercambies los corazones de los hombres
|
| they will crush you like a sparrow
| te aplastarán como a un gorrión
|
| leaving you to never mend
| dejándote para que nunca te repares
|
| they will vow to always love you
| jurarán amarte siempre
|
| swear no love but yours will do then they’ll leave you for another
| No jures amor, pero el tuyo servirá, entonces te dejarán por otro.
|
| break your little heart in two
| romper tu corazoncito en dos
|
| (chours)
| (coros)
|
| little sparrow, little sparrow
| gorrioncito, gorrioncito
|
| precious fragile little thing
| preciosa cosita frágil
|
| little sparrow, little sparrow
| gorrioncito, gorrioncito
|
| flies sp high and feels no pain
| vuela alto y no siente dolor
|
| if i were a little sparrow
| si yo fuera un gorrioncito
|
| o’er these mountains i would fly
| sobre estas montañas volaría
|
| i would find him, i would find him
| lo encontraría, lo encontraría
|
| and look into his lying eyes
| y mirar en sus ojos mentirosos
|
| i would flutter all around him
| revolotearía a su alrededor
|
| on my little sparrow wings
| en mis alitas de gorrión
|
| i would ask him, i would ask him
| le preguntaría, le preguntaría
|
| why he let me love in vain
| por que me dejo amar en vano
|
| i am not a little sparrow
| no soy un gorrioncito
|
| i am just a broken dream
| solo soy un sueño roto
|
| of a cold, false-hearted lover
| de un amante frío y de falso corazón
|
| and his evil cunning scheme]
| y su malvado plan astuto]
|
| (repeat chours) | (repetir coros) |
