La Vaca "Mariposa". [English translation]

Mariposa the cow had a calf

A cute little calf just like a baby

"Give it to me, daddy" say the kids when they see him once he's born

and she hides it in the hummocks somewhere

Mariposa the cow had a calf

the Sabana offers her to get greening

All the streams take her flowers at dawn

And she hides him in the hummocks somewhere

Mariposa the cow had a calf

And the parakeets go and the hawk too

with criolla fruits up to the caney, for him

and Mariposa doesn't know what to do

because she knows what will happen to him (x2)
