Estrellita
Manuel M. Ponce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Estrellita del lejano cielo
Que miras mi dolor
Que sabes mi sufrir
Baja y dime
Si me quiere un poco
Porque yo no puedo sin su amor vivir
¡Tu eres estrella mi faro de amor!
Tu sabes que pronto he de morir
Baja y dime
Si me quiere un poco



Porque yo no puedo sin su amor vivir



Little star from the distant sky
That you look at my pain
That you know my suffering
Come down and tell me
If you love me a little
Because I can't live without your love
You are a star, my beacon of love!
You know that soon I have to die
Come down and tell me
If you love me a little
Because I can't live without your love
