Inti-Illimani "La Pajita" lyrics

Translation to:en

La Pajita

Esta que era una niña de cera,pero no era una niña de ceraera una gavilla en la era.

Pero no era una gavilla,sino la flor tiesa de la maravilla.Tampoco era la flor, sino que eraun rayito de sol pegado a la vidriera.

No era un rayito de sol siquiera,una pajita dentro de mis ojitos era.

Alléguense a mirar como he perdido entera,en este lagrimón, mi fiesta verdadera.

The Straw

This was a girl of waxBut wasn’t a girl of waxIt was a sheaf in the garden

But it wasn’t a sheafBut the stiff flower of wonderIt wasn’t the flower either, it wasA ray of sunlight hitting the window

It wasn’t even a ray of sunlightIt was a straw in my eyes

Look like I’m wholeIn this teardrop, is my true party
