La donosa
Alfredo Zitarrosa
The Stubborn One
I love you as if you were
the comfort of all evil,
little star of my sky, stubborn one,
little rose of my rosebush.
I've climbed twenty hills
just to see you,
I've suffered a thousand slights, stubborn one,
so you'll say yes to me.
Lairailará, lairailará,
little star of my sky, stubborn one,
little rose of my rosebush.
That flower from your hair
that I stole from you when leaving,
has withered from sorrow, stubborn one,
seeing itself far from you.
I love you with all my soul
and I tell you as I sing,
little star of my sky, stubborn one,
little rose of my rosebush.
