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

Won't 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 muy vital

más triste que salir el sol

pura como el agua

???

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 enough

Ella es muy vital

más triste que salir el sol

pura como el agua

???

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

In the "???" part he sings " y el rocío de las rosas" which means "like dew of roses", so it all together means... "She is full of life, sadder than sunrise, as pure as water and dew of roses".

the words the you have missed, at least at the second verse I think it's "la amo mas que nadie", "I lover her more than anybody" but his spanish is the worst I've heard since "should I stay or shoul I go" by The Cash..

Heard the lyrics to this song 1 month after finding out my beloved cat Lemmy had cancer and would soon be leaving us. I was a puddle of tears. Lemmy was so distressed to see me crying,he came over to see what was wrong by putting his paws in my lap and looking up at me. He's gone now but listening to this song reminds me of the bond we had. I miss him.

Some corrections, taken from "Nights of passed over" lyrics book. First time: "Ella es mi hijita, más dulce que cerezas Pura como el agua, nariz y orejas rosas" Second time: "Ojos brillan como el sol, la amo más que nadie Con manchas de una vaca, más suave que conchinita" (embassyrow is right about the corrections) Thank you very much for posting this song!

I could be wrong here but I think there are 3 corrections to the lyrics you posted: 1.WE'LL go to sleep, when she falls along my side. 2.And if I roll and kick AROUND, I might knock her to the ground. 3. I ADORE her face, she lays perfectly in place. Thanks for posting one of my favourite songs =-)
