Manzanita [English translation]

For being fine and lovely

for being fresh and tiny,

you've caught my eye's affection.1

You're a little apple,

so sugary and exquisite

that I want to bite you.

Little apple, little apple

that incites my heart

with its desire to love,

and who has the appeal

that I've never gotten from anyone else,

from its honey, caresses.

Be still my love, I am thirsty,

give me a little to drink,

for my hope is wilting -

with your sweetness it's revived,

a fine little apple

that God has made into a woman.

Be still my love, love, I am thirsty,

for my hope is wilting -

with your sweetness it's revived,

a fine little apple

that God has made into a woman.

1. so, you're the "apple" of her eye? get it?
