The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "La Calandria (The Lark)" by Linda Ronstadt.

Lyrics

Yo soy como la calandria
Que para formar su nido
Siempre busca rama fuerte
Para no verlo caido
Otros son como el venado
Que por listo y presumido
Cuando anda de enamorado
Lo matan desprevenido
Ay… Ay…Ay…Ay…
Las nubes van por el cielo
Los pescados por el agua
El oro esta bajo el suelo
Y el amor en las enaguas
Mi prieta linda
Que voy a hacer
Si tu me quitas
Este querer
De que les sirve a los hombres
Presumir de valentones
Si cuando estan en su casa
Se les caen los pantalones
Tambien sucede otra cosa
Con los que son fanfarrones
Cuando ven la cosa en serio
Les pasa algo en sus calzones

Lyrics translation

I'm like the calandria
That to form your nest
Always looking for strong branch
So as not to see him fall
Others are like deer
That for smart and presumptuous
When he's in love
They kill him unsuspecting
Ay ... Ay ... Ay ... Ay…
Clouds go through the sky
Fish for water
The gold is under the ground
And love in the petticoats
My prieta linda
What am I going to do
If you take me away
This want
That it serves men
Bragging about bullies
If when they're at home
They're dropping their pants.
Something else also happens
With those who are boastful
When they see it for real
Something's wrong with your panties.
