¡Viva viernes!   (Long live Friday! In other words, TGIF!)

La fecha es el veintiséis (26) de abril del año dos mil veinticuatro. (The date is April 26, 2024.)

Time to slow down with Adiós Garcita Morena (Goodbye Little Brown Egret), a classic Honduran folk song.

“Adiós garcita morena, garcita del arenal” (Goodbye little brown egret, little egret of the sand).

“Si tu me has desconocido, yo soy tu palomo real” (If you don’t recognize me, I’m your royal pigeon).

“Ayer pasé por tu casa, pasé llorando por vos” (Yesterday I passed by your house, I passed crying for you).

“Un sentimiento llevaba que nunca te dije adiós” (I was carrying a feeling that I never told you goodbye).

“Las naranjas y las uvas en el palo se maduran” (Oranges and grapes ripen on the tree).

“Ojitos cuando se quieren desde el árbol se saludan.” (When little eyes love one another, they greet one another from the tree).

“Aquí me tienes parado como garcita en laguna” (Here you have me standing like a little egret in a lake).

“¿Cómo quieres que me vaya sin esperanza ninguna?” (How do you want me to leave without any hope?)

¡Cantemos! (Let’s sing!) You can sing along to la letra (the lyrics).

¡Que tengas un viernes veloz!   (May you have a rapid Friday!)

L. A. Feliz
