Isabelita

At five o'clock on Florida,A las cinco por Florida,
very well dressed, Isabel passes by;muy bien vestida, pasa Isabel;
her distinguished silhouettesu silueta distinguida
is pursued like honey,es perseguida como la miel,
for there is no man who, upon seeing her,pues no hay hombre que al mirarla
does not strive to conquer her...no se empeñe en conquistarla...
But no one has managed¡Pero nadie ha conseguido
to be preferred by Isabel!ser preferido por Isabel!

Isabelita,Isabelita,
pretty porteña,porteña bonita,
exquisite figurefigura exquisita
of unmatched grace.de gracia sin par.
Isabelita!¡Isabelita!
The street throbs,La calle palpita,
people get excitedla gente se agita
when they see her pass by...al verla pasar...
And no one knows her great pain:Y nadie sabe su gran dolor:
Isabelita is looking for love!¡Isabelita busca un amor!

When fine and elegant,Cuando fina y elegante,
fragrant rose, Isabel passes by,rosa fragante, pasa Isabel,
she drags behind her graceva arrastrando tras su gracia
and aristocracy a whole crowd,y aristocracia todo un tropel,
for there is no man who doesn't immediatelypues no hay hombre que enseguida
offer her his soul and life...no le ofrezca su alma y vida...
But the dreamed prince...Mas el príncipe soñado...
has not yet arrived... poor Isabel!aún no ha llegado... ¡pobre Isabel!
