Song – La Valencita
Click to return to the Folkloric and Popular Songbook of Honduras
I come from Valencia,
From Valencita, from Valencita (repeat)
I bring new loves
To my little black girl, to my little black girl (repeat)
Let’s go, green broom
Let’s sweep, let’s sweep (repeat)
Because a lily is coming in
That I’m fond of, that I’m fond of (repeat)
When I’m near her
I’m taking care of her, I’m taking care of her (repeat)
Because there are many envious ones
Who desire her, who desire her (repeat)
The woman who is loved
Becomes lively, becomes lively (repeat)
And the man solicits her
If she’s careless, if she’s careless (repeat)
Here I am bidding farewell
Beautiful apple, beautiful apple (repeat)
If I don’t leave now
I’ll leave tomorrow, I’ll leave tomorrow (repeat)
