Anita No Te Rajes

Anita, Don't Give Up

Anita No Te Rajes

Let me tell you a true storyVoy a contarte una historia verdadera
About a poor, good girlDe una niña pobre y buena
She comes from far away with a heavy heartViene de lejos con una pena
Days go by, she's searching for her auntPasan los dias, va en busca de su tia
Every night, every dayCada noche, cada dia
Oh my sweet girl, what are you gonna do with this life!Ay mi chulita, ¡qué vas a hacer con esta vida!

Chorus:Coro:
Anita, don't give upAnita, no te rajes
Don't let them beat you downNo te dejes vencer
No matter what happens if you let love inNo importa lo que pase si te dejas querer
Heartaches can be overcome with love and faithLas penas se superan con amor y con fe
So Anita, don't give up, girlAsi que anita, no te rajes mujer

If you run out of cashSi te quedas sin la lana
If you lose your jobSi te dejan sin la chamba
If thieves show upSi aparecen los ladrones
And steal your underwearY te roban los calzones
If love never answersSi el amor nunca responde
Anita, don't give up!¡anita, no te rajes!

If immigration's on your tailSi la migra te persigue
No tortillas or beansNo hay tortilla ni frijoles
Find a guy who'll take care of youBusca un macho que te cuide
Who'll treat you right and make you fallQue te atiende y te enamore
Who'll take you to his place!Que te lleve pa' su casa!
Anita, don't give up!¡anita, no te rajes!
