Yo viví una garza mora
I lived a dark heron
Dándole combate a un río
Battling with a river
Así es como se enamora
That's how love is born
Tu corazón con el mío
Your heart with mine
Yo viví una garza morada
I lived a purple heron
Dándole combate a un río
Battling with a river
Así es como se enamora
That's how love is born
Así es como se enamora
That's how love is born
Tu corazón con el mío
Your heart with mine
Tu corazón con el mío
Your heart with mine
Luna, luna, luna llena
Moon, moon, full moon
Menguante
Waning
Luna, luna, luna llena
Moon, moon, full moon
Menguante
Waning
Anda muchacho a la casa
Come on, boy, to the house
Y me traes la carabina
And bring me the rifle
Pa' mata' este gavilán
To take down this hawk
Que no me deja gallina
That doesn’t let me have any hens
La luna me está mirando
The moon is watching me
Yo no sé lo que me ve
I don't know what it sees
Yo tengo la ropa limpia
I have clean clothes
Ayer tarde la lavé
Yesterday afternoon I washed it
La luna me está mirando
The moon is watching me
Yo no sé lo que me ve
I don't know what it sees
Yo tengo la ropa limpia
I have clean clothes
Yo tengo la ropa limpia
I have clean clothes
Ayer tarde la lavé
Yesterday afternoon I washed it
Ayer tarde la lavé
Yesterday afternoon I washed it
Luna, luna, luna llena
Moon, moon, full moon
Menguante
Waning
Luna, luna, luna llena
Moon, moon, full moon
Menguante
Waning
