Como Un Gorrión

She's delicate like a breath
And has brown hair
And an air between tender and sad
Like a sparrow

She likes to walk on the branches
Go from balcony to balcony
Without anyone catching her
Like a sparrow

She was born free like the wind
She has no master or boss
And moves by instinct
Like a sparrow

Brown little bird
On Carrera de San Bernardo
Your nest was left dry and empty
Maybe some child already stole it
Wandering little bird
That drinks water from the ponds
And never ate from my hand

And she doesn't sell her color
Or her song to the canary seed
She looks for her lettuce around
Like a sparrow

She feels sorry for the canary
But doesn't envy a falcon
She likes to fly low
Like a sparrow

And chat with the clouds
And sleep in the corner
Where the cats don't reach
Like a sparrow

Brown little bird
On Carrera de San Bernardo
Your nest was left dry and empty
Maybe some child already stole it
Wandering little bird
That drinks water from the ponds
And never ate from my hand
