María Mulata

They call her that, Maria MulataLa llaman así la María Mulata
Though she ain't got a saintly bone in herAunque ella de santa no tiene na'
Whoever sees her flying close to the waterQuien la ve volar tan cerca del agua
Thinks she’s gonna fallPiensa que se va a caer
...thinks she’s gonna fall...que se va a caer

They call her that, Maria MulataLa llaman así la María Mulata
Though she ain't got a hint of being mulattoAunque de mulata no tiene na'
And the shiny black of her two wingsY el negro brillante de sus dos alas
Contrasts with the blue of her seaContrasta con el azul de su mar

Maria Mulata (she ain't got a saintly bone in her)María Mulata (ella de santa no tiene na')
Maria Mulata (she ain't got a hint of being mulatto)María Mulata (ella de mulata no tiene na')
Oh, Maria Mulata (she ain't got nothing)Ay, María Mulata (no tiene na')

(She ain't got nothing) (4x)(No tiene na') (4x)

Right by the sea, Maria MulataMuy cerca del mar la María Mulata
She waits for the time to go stealElla espera la hora de ir a robar
Whoever sees her passing by the foodQuien la ve pasar cerca a la comida
Knows she’s gonna take itSabe, se la va a llevar
...she’s gonna take it...se la va a llevar

Maria Mulata (she ain't got a saintly bone in her)María Mulata (ella de santa no tiene na')
Maria Mulata (she ain't got a hint of being mulatto)María Mulata (ella de mulata no tiene na')
Oh, Maria Mulata (she ain't got nothing)Ay, María Mulata (no tiene na')
