De Estar Estando
Corazón alegre
De solo estar andando en la vida
Cholita no has de llorar
El tiempo de mi partida
Pañuelito blanco para bailar
Con mi palomita
Mojado lo he de guardar
Después de la despedida
Tendré que andar solito
Triste, penando
Tengo miedo, cuando vuelva
Te hayan robado
Corazón alegre
De solo estar andando en la vida
Cholita no has de llorar
El tiempo de mi partida
Sentimiento ciego
De solo estar lavando su herida
Cholita, no has de olvidar
Esta pena florecida
Pollerita roja para bailar
Te traeré, chinita
Cuando vuelva del churcal
A rejuntar nuestras vidas
Tendré que andar solito
Triste, penando
Tengo miedo, cuando vuelva
Te hayan robado
Sentimiento ciego
De solo estar lavando su herida
Cholita, no has de olvidar
Esta pena florecida
Of Being
Happy heart
Just by being in life
Cholita, you must not cry
The time of my departure
White handkerchief for dancing
With my little dove
Wet, I will keep it
After the farewell
I will have to walk alone
Sad, suffering
I'm afraid, when I return
They may have stolen you
Happy heart
Just by being in life
Cholita, you must not cry
The time of my departure
Blind feeling
Just by washing its wound
Cholita, you must not forget
This blooming sorrow
Red skirt for dancing
I will bring you, little Chinese girl
When I return from the field
To gather our lives
I will have to walk alone
Sad, suffering
I'm afraid, when I return
They may have stolen you
Blind feeling
Just by washing its wound
Cholita, you must not forget
This blooming sorrow
