Her small mouth of coral, her little eyes two stars
Al pasar le pregunte que quien estaba con ella
As I was passing by, I asked her who was with her
Y me respondió llorando, sola vivo en el palmar.
she responded crying, I live alone in the grove of palm trees
Soy huerfanita, no tengo padre ni madre
I'm a little orphan girl, I do not have father nor mother
Ni un amigo que me venga a consolar
nor a friend who can come and console me
Solita paso la vida a la orilla del palmar
I go through life alone at the edge of the grove
Y solita voy y vengo como las olas del mar.
And alone I come and go like the waves of the sea.
On the shore by a palm I saw a beautiful young person
It’s small mouth of coral, it’s little eyes, two stars
????????????????
And it responded to me crying, I live alone in a cluster of palms.
I am an orphan, I do not have father nor mother
Nor a friend who comes to me to console
???????????????????
And alone I go and I come, like the waves of the sea.
Also need help translating the following short clips:
Perdóname... Si te he ofendido
I'm sorry... If I have offended you
Perdóname... Ten compasión
I'm sorry... have compassion
Mi vida es tu vida
My life is your life
Amor de los dos
Love from both (Awkward phrase in Spanish)
Tu me haces sufrir
You cause me to suffer
Ya lo pagarás
You will pay
Tu no tienes... Perdón
You don't have... forgiveness
and . . . . . I can't make sense of this with the dictionary definitions
Could be that a few of the phrases are incomplete... I will do my best and guess their meaning based on possibilities.
Cada que la veo venir
Every (time) I see her come
se agacha y se va de lado
she squats down and she goes do the side
querido amigo, querido amigo
dear friend, dear friend
mas valia mejor morir
It would be better to die
Does it mean she turns away (avoids) him?
Appreciate the help!
