La ploma de perdiu [English translation]

Once upon a time, there were three young girls

Lightrunoverthere-overon-thewavey

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on.

And all of them were embroidering silk fabric

Lightrunoverthere-lightrunoveron

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on.

The King's son was taking a walk nearby,

Lightrunoverthere-overon-thewavey

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on...

He asked them for a strand of silk,

Lightrunoverthere-lightrunoveron

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on.

-"What do you want to do with the strand of silk?"

Lightrunoverthere-overon-thewavey

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on.

-"I want it so I can make a little bow with it"

Lightrunoverthere-lightrunoveron

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on.

-"What do you want the little bow for?"

Lightrunoverthere-overon-thewavey

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on.

-"I want to use it to catch a little partridge"

Lightrunoverthere-lightrunoveron

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on.

-"What do you want the little partridge for?"

Lightrunoverthere-overon-thewavey

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on.

-"So I can pluck one of its feathers"

Lightrunoverthere-lightrunoveron

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on.

-"What do you want to do with the little feather?"

Lightrunoverthere-overon-thewavey

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on.

-"I want to use it to write a letter"

Lightrunoverthere-lightrunoveron

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on.

-"What do you want to do with the letter?"

Lightrunoverthere-overon-thewavey

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on.

-"I want to send it to my darling one"

Lightrunoverthere-lightrunoveron

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on.

-"What do you want to do with your darling one?"

Lightrunoverthere-overon-thewavey

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on.

-"I want to hold her very tightly"

Lightrunoverthere-lightrunoveron

Lightrunoverthere-overavey-on.
