Tecolote de Guadña
Tecolote de Guadaña,
pajaro madrugador
(Repeat these two lines)
que tuviera tus alitas
que tuviera tus alitas
par ir a ver mí amor.
Coro
y cu-i, cu-i, cu-i, cu-i,
y cu-i, cu-i, cu-i, cu-i,
y cu-i, cu-i, cu-i, cu-i,
pobrecito tecolotito,
ya se cansa de volar.
Translation:
Owl of Guadaña
Bird of the morning,
(Repeat these lines)
Would that I had your wings,
Would that I had your wings,
To fly to my love.
Chorus
Y cu-i, cu-i, cu-i, cu-i, (three times)
Poor little owl,
It's tired of flying.
With musical score and audio.
