Maria Bonita
Acuerdate de acapulco
De aquellas noches
Maria bonita, maría del alma;
Acuerdate que en la playa,
Con tus manitas las estrellitas
Las enjuagabas.
Tu cuerpo, del mar juguete nave al garete
Venían las olas lo columpiaban
Y mientras yo te miraba
Lo digo con sentimiento
Mi pensamiento me traicionaba.
Te dije muchas palabras de esas bonitas
Con que se arrullan los corazones,
Pidiendo que me quisieras
Que convirtieras en realidades
Mis ilusiones.
La luna que nos miraba
Ya hacía ratito
Se hizo un poquito desentendida
Y cuando la vi escondida
Me arrodille para besarte
Y así entregarte toda mi vida.
Amores habras tenido muchos amores
Maria bonita, maría del alma;
Pero ninguno tan bueno, ni tan honrado
Como el que hiciste que en mi brotara.
Lo traigo lleno de flores
Para dejarlo como una ofrenda
Bajo tus plantas,
Recibelo emocionada
Y jurame que no mientes
Porque te sientes idolatrada.
Beautiful Maria
Remember Acapulco
Those nights
Beautiful Maria, Maria of the soul;
Remember that on the beach,
With your little hands the little stars
You rinsed them.
Your body, a toy ship adrift in the sea
The waves came and rocked it
And while I watched you
I say it with feeling
My thoughts betrayed me.
I told you many of those beautiful words
With which hearts are lulled,
Asking you to love me
To turn into realities
My illusions.
The moon that was watching us
Had been there for a while
It became a little indifferent
And when I saw it hidden
I knelt to kiss you
And thus give you all my life.
You may have had many loves
Beautiful Maria, Maria of the soul;
But none as good, nor as honest
As the one you made sprout in me.
I bring it full of flowers
To leave it as an offering
Under your feet,
Receive it excited
And swear to me that you don't lie
Because you feel idolized.
