Alta y Delgadita

Tall and Slim

Alta y Delgadita

You are tall and slimEres alta y delgadita
Your beauty provokes meTu hermosura me provoca
Look at that nose, that mouthMira que nariz que boca
What a body, what a waistQue cuerpo que cinturita
I wouldn't change her for anotherNo la cambiaría por otra
Even if she were prettierAunque fuera más bonita

You are a glassEres vaso de cristal
That swims in the seaQue en el mar andas nadando
Since I can't talk to youComo no te puedo hablar
That's why I keep circling aroundPor eso me ando rodeando
Don't be ungrateful, womanNo seas ingrata mujer
Don't make me sufferNo me hagas andar penando

Leaves fall from the treeDe árbol se caen las hojas
And there's no doubt about the SunY del Sol no hay que dudar
Pretty are the girlsBonitas son las muchachas
Taking them out for a walkSacándolas a pasear
With money and not with signsCon dinero y no con señas
Oh, how lovely it is to loveAy, qué rechulo es amar

I climbed the highest hillMe subí al cerro más alto
To ask CupidA preguntarle a cupido
What was the bellQue cuál era la campana
That rang forgetfulnessCon que se tocaba olvido
To forget that ungrateful onePara olvidar a esa ingrata
That I haven't been able to forgetQue olvidarla no he podido

Cupid answered meCupido me contestó
Don't mess with the pineNo le metas corte al pino
The woman who is jealousLa mujer que sea celosa
Give her her destiny soonDale pronto su destino
Let her stay like the bearQue se quede como el oso
Devising the wayDevisando pa'l' camino

With this I say goodbyeYa con esta me despido
Plucking a little roseDesojando una rosita
Here they end singingAquí se acaban cantando
Verses of the slim oneVersos de la delgadita
I wouldn't change her for anotherNo la cambiaría por otra
Even if she were prettierNi aunque fuera más bonita
