Margarita is beautiful the sea,

and the wind, carries subtle essence of orange blossom;

I feel in the soul a lark to sing;

your accent:

Daisy, I'll tell you a story

:

* * *

This was a

king who had a palace of diamonds,

a tent made by day

and a flock of elephants,

a malachite kiosk, gran a large tissue mantle,

and a gentle

little princess,

so pretty, Margarita,as pretty, as you are.

One afternoon, the princess

saw a star

appear;

the princess was naughty

and wanted to go catch.

I wanted to make it

decorate a pin

,

with a verse and a pearl

and a feather and a flower. PrimBeautiful princesses

look a lot like you:

cut lilies, cut roses,

cut stars

. They are like that.

Well the beautiful girl went,

under the sky and over the sea,to

cut the white star

that made her sigh.

And he continued on his way up, by the moon and beyond;

More bad is that she was going

without permission from dad

.

When she was already back

from the parks of the Lord,she looked all wrapped up

in a

sweet glow.

And the king said: "What have you done to yourself?

I have looked for you and I have not found you; and what do you have in your chest?

What is it on you?"? "

The princess was not lying.

And so, he said the truth:

"I went to cut the star of mine to theblue immensity

".

And the king cries out: "I have not told you

that the blue should not be cut?

What madness! What a freak! ... TheLord

is going to get angry

".

And she says: "There was no attempt;

I left I do not know why. Because of the waves by the windI went to the star and cut it off".

And the dad says angry:

"A punishment you must have:

go back to heaven and stolen it you are going to return now".

The princess becomes sad

for her sweet

flower of light,

when then appears

smiling the Good Jesus. Así

And so he says: "In my fields

that rose I offered him;

they are my flowers of the girls

that when dreaming think of me".

You saw the king bright bubbles,

and then paraded

four hundred

elephants to the edge of the sea.

The little princess is beautiful,

well

she already has the pin

in which they shine, with the star, verse, pearl, feather and flower.

* * *

Margarita, the sea is beautiful, and the wind

carries a subtle essence of orange blossom:

your breath.

Since you will be away from me,

guardian, child,

a gentle thought

to one day I wanted to tell you

a story.
