El Pajarillo
La Colmena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anda y dile que no cante que me roba el corazón
Anda y dile que no cante que me roba el corazón
Leña verde y amor pobre arden cuando hay ocasión
Si por pobre me desprecias, yo te concedo razón
Si por pobre me desprecias, yo te concedo razón
Allí está mi nombre escrito en la hoja de un jazmín
Allí está mi nombre escrito en la hoja de un jazmín
De lejos te estoy queriendo y de cerca con más razón
Y al rato que no te veo se me parte el corazón
Y al rato que no te veo se me parte el corazón
Yo no me quejo del tiempo, quéjese el tiempo de mí
El tiempo me dio esperanzas, yo pesares elegí
El tiempo me dio esperanzas, yo pesares elegí
Si me querís conocer (si me querís conocer)
Pásate por el jardín
Allí está mi nombre escrito en la hoja de un jazmín
Allí está mi nombre escrito en la hoja de un jazmín
The lyrics to "El Pajarillo" by La Colmena talk about a bird that sings on a lemon tree and steals the singer's heart.

If they are despised for being poor, they admit that there is some truth to it. The singer invites the listener to get to know them by visiting the garden where their name is written on a jasmine leaf. They express their love from afar and admit that when they don't see the person for a while, it breaks their heart. They also mention that they don't complain about time, but rather time should complain about them because time gave them hope while they chose struggles and sorrows.
Overall, the song portrays a sense of longing, unrequited love, and acceptance of one's circumstances.
