The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "La Sitiera" by Celia Cruz.

Lyrics

Sitiera mía dime que has hecho
De nuestro dulce hogar
Cuna que un día, fue la alegría
De todo aquel sitial
Lágrimas vierte, la sitiería
Que tiende a desolar
Y es por no verte reina, que un día
Fuiste de aquel lugar
Ya el jilguero se alejó
De aquel frondoso algarrobo
Y hasta la mata de jobo
Nos da muestras de dolor
La sitiera se ha marchado
Y yo enamorado lloro por su amor
Y es para la sitiería
Cual si fuera un día que le falta el sol

Lyrics translation

Sitiera maa tell me what you've done
From our sweet home
Cradle that one day, was joy
Of all that sitial
The grimaces poured, the siege
That tends to desolate
And it is by not seeing you queen, that one day
You came from that place.
Now The Goldfinch is gone
Of that leafy carob
And even the kill of job
It gives us signs of pain
The site is gone
And I am in love I cry for your love
And it's for the siege
What if it was a day that lacked the sun
