Lyrics of 'Balada de la mariposa' by María Elena Walsh

Do you want to know the lyrics of Balada de la mariposa by María Elena Walsh? You're in the right place.

Una mariposa se enamoró
De un marinero y lo persiguió
Lo esperó a la puerta del hotel
Y muy contenta se fue con él

En la gorra blanca se le posó
Y al barco blanco tras él subió
A la chimenea voló después
Mirando el mar por primera vez

Todo el amor de su vida de un día
Prodigó con alegría
Y cantaba así marinero de frente
Aunque no me mire, es amor presente

Al atardecer, al hundirse el Sol
Al marinero llorando vio
Para distraerlo de su pesar
Bailó en el aire por altamar

De los blancos mástiles se alejó
Y un viento fuerte la castigó
En el agua gris se cayó y se ahogó
Y el marinero ni se enteró

Pero una lágrima sola y salada
Resbaló sin saber nada
Y le puso fin al amor verdadero
De la mariposa y del marinero
