Yo La Quería Patita

I Wanted Her, Little Foot

Yo La Quería Patita

Don't play hard to get, buddy, and pour yourself another drinkNo se haga de rogar carreta y sírvase otro trago
Because here, between drinks, I want to let you knowQue aquí entre copa y copa le quiero hacer saber
Why I'm so sad, so lonely and bitterPorque es que estoy tan triste, tan solo y amargado
And today I want to put on my best faceY hasta la remaseta hoy me quiero poner

Don't play hard to get, little foot, and have a little moreNo se haga de rogar patita y parese' otro poco
Don't think, buddy, that I'm already drunkNo crea usted compadre que ya me licorié
If my eyes are red, it's from cryingSi estoy con los crisoles rojimios es del llanto
Because I've cried, buddy, because of a womanPorque he llorado carreta, por culpa de una mujer

I wanted her, little footYo la quería, patita
She was the most beautiful girl in the alleyEra la gila más buenamoza del callejón
And you, buddy, who knows me, I'm straightforwardY usted compadre que me conoce, yo soy derecho
She didn't know how to reciprocate my heartElla no supo corresponder a mi corazón

Today I got the newsHoy me pasaron el dato
That the fair-skinned guy who had her, left herQue el blanquiñoso que la tenía, la abandonó
And they say the black one is suffering for the punishmentY dicen que está la negra, sufrida para el castigo
That she's in a bad state and her little one is a beggarQue ella está de cualquier cosa y su hijito de mendigo

That's why I've cried, buddy, out of spite, anger, and sorrowPor eso he llorao' carreta, de pica, de rabia y pena
And even if they say she's not good, I still love her, little footY aunque digan que no es buena, yo la quiero aún, patita
