Lyrics
Mariposita de primavera,
alma con alas que errante vas
por los jardines de mi quimera
como un suspiro de amor fugaz.
Cuando te alejes a otras regiones
llévale un ruego de adoración
a la que un día me dio ilusiones
que se trocaron en decepciones
que hoy llevo dentro del corazón.
Yo quiero verla para besarla
como esos besos que, tú a la flor,
das cuando quieres la miel robarle
para embriagarte cual yo de amor.
Mariposita de primavera,
alma con alas si es que la ves
dile que torne mi compañera
a los jardines de mi quimera
donde no vuelvas jamás tal vez.
Lyrics translation
Spring butterfly,
soul with wings that wandering you go
by the gardens of my Chimera
like a fleeting sigh of love.
When you move away to other regions
bring him a prayer of worship
which one day gave me illusions
that were traded in disappointments
that I carry in my heart today.
I want to see her to kiss her
like those kisses that, you to the flower,
you give when you want honey to steal from him
to get you drunk like me with love.
Spring butterfly,
soul with wings if you see it
tell her to make my partner
to the gardens of my Chimera
where you never come back, maybe.
