Cartita De Amor
Échame una mano prima
que viene mi novio a verme,
estoy tan nerviosa que
no se que vestío ponerme.
Una cartita de amor
ayer tarde recibí
en la que dice mi novio
que esta noche iba a venir
hace más de veinte días
primita que no le veo
tengo que ponerme guapa
y no me dejan los nervios.
De mil maneras me peino
y ninguna me sienta bien
me he probao tos los vestíos
y no se cual escoger
vente prima y me aconsejas
por favor, ayúdame...
Échame una mano prima...
Toíta la noche en vela
primita me la he pasao
pensando en el marinero
que mi vida ha cautivao
y en los rizos de su pelo
y en sus ojillos azules
ay azules como el cielo.
El murmullo de las olas
trae el eco de su voz
y el aire de la bahía
el perfume de su amor
su barquilla está muy cerca
me lo dice el corazón.
Échame una mano prima...
Love Letter
Give me a hand, cousin
my boyfriend is coming to see me,
I'm so nervous that
I don't know what dress to wear.
A love letter
I received yesterday afternoon
in which my boyfriend says
he was going to come tonight
more than twenty days have passed
cousin, since I last saw him
I have to look pretty
but my nerves won't let me.
I style my hair in a thousand ways
and none look good on me
I've tried on all the dresses
and I don't know which one to choose
come, cousin, and advise me
please, help me...
Give me a hand, cousin...
All night awake
cousin, I've spent it
thinking about the sailor
who has captivated my life
and in the curls of his hair
and in his blue eyes
oh, blue like the sky.
The murmur of the waves
brings the echo of his voice
and the air of the bay
the scent of his love
his little boat is very close
tells me my heart.
Give me a hand, cousin...
