La Sitiera - Celia Cruz

Sitiera mía dime que has hecho

De nuestro dulce hogar

Cuna que un día, fue la alegría

De todo aquel sitial

Lágrimas vierte, la sitiería

Que tiende a desolar

Y es por no verte reina, que un día

Fuiste de aquel lugar

Ya el jilguero se alejó

De aquel frondoso algarrobo

Y hasta la mata de jobo

Nos da muestras de dolor

La sitiera se ha marchado

Y yo enamorado lloro por su amor

Y es para la sitiería

Cual si fuera un día que le falta el sol

Sitiera mine tell me what have you done

of our sweet home

Cradle that one day, was the joy

Of all that seat

Tears pour, the sitiería

that tends to desolate

And it is for not seeing you queen, that one day

you were from that place

The goldfinch has already moved away

Of that leafy carob tree

And even the bush of jobo

He shows us pain

The Sitiera has left

And I, in love, cry for his love

And it is for the sitiería

As if it were a day that lacks the sun
