She's got big green eyes And a long Egyptian face She moves across the floor At her own pace When I'm here in bed She'll jump up on my chest And when we lock eyes There's so much love I wanna cry She comes in near When I scratch under her ear And she lifts her head When I kiss around her neck Will go to sleep When she falls along my side And two green eyes fade To a porcelain marble white And somehow when I sleep She'll end up at my feet And if I roll and kick her out I might knock her to the ground But she'll come back anyhow Ella es mi hijita Más dulce que las cerezas Pura como el agua Con la nariz y las orejas rosas The morning comes She squints up to shield out the sun
And she'll go and lay In the warmest dusty rays And I hold her face She lays perfectly in place And she'll yawn and stretch And stare me down expressionless And lay back down into her nest And if someone calls She'll race me out the hall When she hears the phone Then she knows I'm leaving home She don't wanna be alone And I know it's wrong That I'm going away so long And for her it's rough I can't be with her enough But I'll never give her up Sus ojos brillan como el sol La amo más que nadie Con manchas da vaca Más suave que cochinita And somehow when I sleep She'll end up at my feet And if I roll and kick her out I might knock her to the ground But she'll come back anyhow
