Lyrics

EL GAVILAN

VERSE 1 & 2
Por ahi viene el Gavilan,
Por ahi viene ya volando,
No se lo dejen llegar,
Pollitas and buscando.

CHORUS
Ay ay ay chinita, que maldito gavilan,
Ay ay ay chinita, no te vaya a enamorar,

VERSE 3 & 4
Por ahi viene el gavilan,
Viene por la nopalera,
Le gusta las jovencitas,
Las de quince primaveras,

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 4 & 5
Por ahi viene el gavilan,
Con sus alitas plateadas,
Pro mas bonitas son
Las solteras no casadas.

REPEAT CHORUS

THE HAWK/ SMALL BIRD OF PREY
As translated by Martyn Laight

VERSES 1 & 2
Out there, he comes swiftly,
Do not allow your self to go there,
He is looking for young birds.

CHORUS
Oh, oh, oh, my chinita,(word used to describe a young girl/ daughter)
The confounded hawk,
Oh, oh, oh, my chinita,
He is not going to court you.(Have a meaningful relationship)

VERSES 3& 4
He is coming for the place of the prickly cactus pear,
(I believe this means a juicy fruit in a vast dessert),
He likes young girls,
Those of fifteen years,

REPEAT CHORUS

Out there, comes/is the hawk/ small bird of prey,
With his silvery wings,
For more beautiful are
The single un-married women.

REPEAT CHORUS
