Mariposita De Primavera
Omara Portuondo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alma con alas que errante vas
Por los jardines de mi quimera
Por los jardines de mi quimera
Como un suspiro de amor fugaz
Cuando te alejes a otras regiones
Llévale un ruego de adoración
Al que un día me dio ilusiones
Que se trocaron en decepciones
Que aún llevo dentro del corazón
Yo quiero verla para besarle
Como esos besos que tú a la flor
Más cuando quieres la miel robarle
Más cuando quieres la miel robarle
Para embriagarte cual yo de amor
Mariposita, de primavera
Dile a mi a mi amado, si es que lo ves
Dile que torne mi compañero
A los jardines de mi quimera
Donde no vuelvas jamás tal vez
The lyrics of "Mariposita de Primavera" or "Butterfly of Spring" in English, describe a butterfly that flies freely around the gardens of the singer's dreams. The butterfly is compared to a fleeting moment of love, a reminder of a once hopeful relationship that turned into disappointment, but its beauty and lightness still interest the singer, who asked the butterfly to deliver a message to her former beloved.
The singer's message to the butterfly is a plea for her former partner to return to the gardens of her imagination, where they once shared happy moments. The singer wants to see her former partner again and to kiss him passionately like a bee kisses a flower, and to let herself be intoxicated again by the sweetness of their love. However, the singer acknowledges that her request may be futile and that the butterfly may never return to these gardens again.
Overall, the song speaks to the universality of love, its fleeting nature, and the bittersweet memories that can remain long after a relationship has ended.

La gran dama de la canción cubana. Tiene 90 y muchos años y aún canta de vez en cuando en una Sala de la Habana Vieja. La más grande intérprete de Cuba.
