El Venadito

The Little Deer

El Venadito

I'm a poor little deerSoy un pobre venadito
That lives in the mountainsQue habito en la cerranía
Since I'm not so tameComo no soy tan mancito
I don't go down to the water by dayNo bajo al agua de día
Little by little at nightDe noche poco a poquito
I come to your arms, my loveY a tus brazos vida mía
I already have the cactus readyYa tengo listo el nopal
To cut the prickly pearDonde de cortar la tuna
I already have the cactus readyYa tengo listo el nopal
To cut the prickly pearDonde de cortar la tuna
Since I'm a formal manComo soy hombre formal
I don't like to have just oneNo me gusta tener una
I like to have twoMe gusta tener de a dos
In case one of them gets madPor si se me enoja alguna
I wish I were a fine pearlQuisiera ser perla fina
In your shiny earringsDe tus lucidos aretes
I wish I were a fine pearlQuisiera ser perla fina
In your shiny earringsDe tus lucidos aretes
To kiss your little earPa' besarte la orejita
And bite your cheeksY morderte los cachetes
Who told you to be prettyQuién te manda ser bonita
If it complicates things for meSi esto a mí me compromete
I say goodbye with thisYa con esta me despido
But I'll be back soonPero pronto doy la vuelta
I say goodbye with thisYa con esta me despido
But I'll be back soonPero pronto doy la vuelta
Just may God save meNomás que me libre Dios
From a dead fly girlDe una niña mosca muerta
Those who, oh, mom, dear GodDe esas que, ay, mamá, por Dios
But come out to the doorPero salen a la puerta
I'm not a singer and I'm leaving singingNo soy coplero y me voy cantando
I leave my Chilean song to the brunetteAhí dejo mi chilena a la morena
That I'm lovingQue estoy amando
