Margarita is beautiful the sea,
and the wind carries a subtle essence of orange blossom;
I feel in my soul a lark sing;
your accent:
Margarita, I'm going to tell you a story:
* * *
This was a King what had
a palace of diamonds,
a tent made of day
and a herd of elephants,
a malachite kiosk,
a large tissue blanket,
and a gentle little princess,
so pretty,
Daisy flower,
as cute as you.
One afternoon the princess
saw a star Appear;
the princess was naughty
and he wanted to go get her.
I wanted her to make her
decorate a pin,
with a verse and a pearl
and a feather and a flower.
The gorgeous princesses
they look a lot like you:
they cut lilies, they cut roses,
they cut stars. They are like this.
Well the beautiful girl left,
under the sky and over the sea,
to cut the white star
That made her sigh
And went on up
by the moon and beyond;
but the bad thing is that she went
without dad's permission.
When he was back
of the Lord's parks,
she looked all wrapped up
in a sweet glow.
And the king said, 'What have you done to yourself?
I have looked for you and I did not find you;
and what do you have on your chest
what you can be seen on?».
The princess was not lying.
And so he told the truth:
«I went to cut my star
to vastness blue».
And the king cries out: «Have I not told you
that blue should not be cut ?.
What madness! What a whim! ...
The Mister he is going to get angry».
And she says, 'There was no attempt;
I left I don't know why.
For the waves by the wind
I went to the star and cut it.
And the dad says angrily:
«You must have a punishment:
return to heaven and stolen it
you are now going to return ».
The princess is saddened
for your sweet flower of light,
when then it appears
smiling the Good Jesus.
And so he says: «In my countryside
that rose I offered him;
They are my girls flowers
that when they dream they think of me ».
Dress the king shiny bubbles,
and then parade
four hundred elephants
by the sea.
The little princess is beautiful
well you already have the pin
in what they shine, with the star,
verse, pearl, feather and flower.
* * *
Margarita, the sea is beautiful,
and the wind
It has a subtle essence of orange blossom:
your breath.
Since you're going to be far from me,
save, girl, a gentle thought
that one day he wanted to tell you
a story.
