Chonita

Chonita has a parrotChonita tiene un cotorro
That is the torment of her heartQue es el tormento de su corazón
It says to her: My dear, my skyLe dice: Vidita, mi cielo
My baby, my blondie, my sweet passionMi rorro, mi güero, mi dulce pasión

The parrot never pays attention to herEl loro jamás le hace caso
Doesn't even throw her a glance as a punishmentNo le hecha ni un lazo por castigador
And Chonita inside a little jarY chonita dentro de un jarrito
Collects the tears of her painRecoge las lágrimas de su dolor

Since I saw youDesde que te divisé
With your precious beakCon tu precioso pico
I crazily thoughtYo con locura pensé
That parrot is my typeEse cotorro es mi tipo
But you don't even realizePero ni cuenta te das
How much I love youDe que te quiero tanto
You run away from me, you just tripHuyes de mi, te entripas nomás
Mimicking my sad cryRemedas mi triste llanto

In the main post officeEn el correo mayor
I sent a certifiedPuse un certificado
A love letterUna misiva de amor
With the golden edgeCon el filito dorado
And you ate the paperY te comiste el papel
Leaving not a single sheetSin dejar ni una hoja
You are so cruel, you don't want to readEres muy cruel, no quieres leer
The words of my anguishLas letras de mi congoja

I think I'm going to dieCreo que me voy a morir
Because you don't pay attention to mePorque no me haces caso
The heart I gave youEl corazón que te di
You already broke it into piecesYa lo quebraste en pedazos
But it's useless to pretendPero es inútil fingir
Your ingratitude kills meTu ingratitud me mata
Come on, tell me, tell me yesAndale dime dime que sí
Little parrot, give me your pawLorito dame la pata
