Si lo hallas
Language: Spanish (Español)
Aguita que vas p'abajo,
llevada por la corriente;
detras de ti yo me iria
en busca del bien ausente.
Si lo hallas en tu camino
no le causes ningun daño;
por mí, bésalo mil veces
en mí, bésalo mil veces
en las manos si te toca
y si te bebe, en los labios.

If you find him
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
Water, how you go downhill
carried by the current;
behind you I would go
in search of the absent good.
If you find him on your way
do not cause him any harm;
for me, kiss him a thousand times,
in me, kiss him a thousand times
on his hands if he touches you
and if he drinks you, on his lips.
