Ella es así     That's how she is   Music: Manuel Carretero Lyrics: Luis Martino Rec. by Edgardo Donato   Tr. Jake Spatz Recited 12 July 2006, Divino Lounge   Iba igual que la luz bella como una flor, llena de bondad y de candor. El violin su cantar, cascabel su reír y un zorzal su voz... ella es así. She was sunshine in motion, pretty as a flower, full of devotion and of kindnesses. She sings like a fiddle, her giggle's a bell, she's got a songbird voice— that's how she is. Al cantar, quisiera yo pintar tu figura tan risueña mujer porteña. Y decir a quien me quisiera oír al son de esta milonguita... ella es así. Sing us a ditty, my sailor-city miss, and I'd paint you a picture of your dreamy little figure... I'd ramble on that a milonguera sounds like this, to whoever would lend me their ears— that's how she is.
