La Chula

The Cute One

La Chula

The cute one has a feline charmLa chula tiene un encanto felino
Divine mulatto bodyCuerpo mulato divino
Sixteen years give herDieciseis años le dan
And they say she's half saint or crazyY dicen que es mitad santa o demente
That she's different from peopleQue es diferente a la gente
She laughs at what they'll saySe rie del que diran
They comment oh! Please look!Comentan ay! Por favor mire usted !
They murmur oh! Please pay attention!Murmuran ay! Por favor fijese !
The cute one gives everyone a little bitLa chula da a cada cual su poquito
She speaks softly in your earTe habla al oido bajito
She knows how to make you fall in loveSabe como enamorar
And all that mystery that the cute one hasY todo ese misterio que tiene la chula
Men wonder, who could it be for?Los hombres se preguntan ¿ para quien sera?
If she gave her skin and waist to someone elseSu piel y su cintura si las diera a otra
Women ask, who could it be for?Preguntan las mujeres ¿ para quien sera ?
The shine of her eyes, her hair colorEl brillo de sus ojos, su color de pelo
Mermaids ask, who could it be for?Preguntan las sirenas ¿ para quien sera ?
If a little bit of love fell from her handsQue si un poco de amor cayera de sus manos
And no one ever knew who it was for...Y nadie supo nunca para quien sera...
Oh! Holy Virgin... oh! Saint Joseph...Ay! Virgen santa... ay! san Jose...
There goes the cute one!, ah, ah, ah, oh! look!Ahi va la chula!, a, a, a, ay! mire usted !
The cute one dances to the beat of destinyLa chula baila a su ritmo el destino
She reads your future in the sand and in sea shellsLee tu futuro en la arena y en caracolas de mar
It's precise that her landscape is so tenderPreciso que su paisaje es tan tierno
That paradise and hell hold hands in themQue paraiso e infierno la mano en ellas se dan
They comment oh! Please look!Comentan ay! Por favor mire usted !
They murmur oh! Please pay attention!Murmuran ay! Por favor fijese !
She goes smiling, leaving her trailSonriendo va con su estela dejando
Soft mango perfume, tropical flower breezeSuave perfume de mango, brisa de flor tropical
(Chorus)(Coro)
The cute one, wow!. Wow, the cute one!La chula, caramba!. Caramba, la chula!
The cute one, wow!. Wow, the cute one!La chula, caramba!. Caramba, la chula!
The cute one with the feline charmLa chula la del encanto felino
Divine mulatto body one day didn't show upCuerpo mulato divino un dia no aparecio
And they say some superhuman powerY cuentan que algun poder sobrehumano
Turned her into a starLa convirtio en una estrella
And she rose to the skyY al firmamento subio
(Chorus)(Coro)
(Oh! Holy Virgin!... oh! Saint Joseph!(Ay! Virgen santa!... ay! san Jose!
There goes the cute one... oh! look)Hay va la chula... ay! mire usted)
Oh! Holy Virgin!, oh! Saint Joseph!Ay! Virgen santa!, ay! san Jose!
There goes the cute one, oh! lookHay va la chula, ay! mire usted
