Carito
Pensaba yo en estos tiempos
De incomprensiones y desencantos
Y en tantas buenas razones
Para soñar sin desfallecer
Y pensaba con nostalgia
De la inocencia de aquellos años
De esos primeros amores
Que al recordar vuelven a nacer
Y recuerdo en mi memoria
Aquellos tiempos de Carito
Ella era una miss de Boston
Que daba clase en la escuela
Le gustaba el español
Y aunque lo hablaba poquito
Tenía esos ojos bonitos
Que hablaban muy bien por ella
Carito me habla en inglés
Que bonito se le ve
Carito me habla en inglés
Que me dice yo no se
Carito me habla en inglés
Que bonito se le ve
Carito me habla en inglés
Que me dice yo no se
Carlitos don't be like that
Now listen to me
You will pay attention
I need you to write in English
Muy perfecto paragraph
And tell me where did you learn
Donde tu aprender to be tan coqueto
Remember nada de fútbol
Until you finish the work you have
Y me daba una sonrisa
Y yo me quedaba loquito
Y después en el examen
Lo ponía todo al revés
Carito se fue del valle
Yo la recuerdo cantando
Porque me dejo muy triste
Para su tierra se fue
Carito me habla en inglés
Que bonito se le ve
Carito me habla en inglés
Que me dice yo no se
Carito me habla en inglés
Que bonito se le ve
Carito me habla en inglés
Que me dice yo no se
Carito dime que si
Que no me quiero morir
Carito don't tell me no
Que me muero por tu amor
Carito dime que si
Que no me quiero morir
Carito don't tell me no
Que me muero por tu amor
Que importa la raza
Tampoco el idioma
Si al fin lo que cuenta
Es lo buena persona
Si es del altiplano
O de tierra caliente
Si al fin lo que vale
Es que sea buena gente
Que importa su credo
Si es hombre de influyente
Si al fin lo que cuenta
Es la gente decente
No importa si es blanco
Si es pobre o famoso
Si al fin lo que vale
Es que cante sabroso
Carito
I was thinking in these times
Of misunderstandings and disappointments
And so many good reasons
To dream without giving up
And I thought with nostalgia
Of the innocence of those years
Of those first loves
That when remembered come back to life
And I remember in my mind
Those times of Carito
She was a beauty from Boston
Who taught at the school
She liked Spanish
And though she spoke it a little
She had those pretty eyes
That spoke volumes for her
Carito speaks to me in English
It sounds so nice when she does
Carito speaks to me in English
And she says I don’t know
Carito speaks to me in English
It sounds so nice when she does
Carito speaks to me in English
And she says I don’t know
Carlitos don’t be like that
Now listen to me
You need to pay attention
I need you to write in English
A perfect paragraph
And tell me where you learned
Where did you learn to be so charming
Remember no soccer
Until you finish the work you have
And she would give me a smile
And I would get all goofy
And then in the exam
I’d mess it all up
Carito left the valley
I remember her singing
Because she left me so sad
She went back to her land
Carito speaks to me in English
It sounds so nice when she does
Carito speaks to me in English
And she says I don’t know
Carito speaks to me in English
It sounds so nice when she does
Carito speaks to me in English
And she says I don’t know
Carito tell me yes
Because I don’t want to die
Carito don’t tell me no
Because I’m dying for your love
Carito tell me yes
Because I don’t want to die
Carito don’t tell me no
Because I’m dying for your love
What does race matter
Or even the language
If what really counts
Is being a good person
Whether from the highlands
Or from warm lands
If what really matters
Is being good people
What does their faith matter
If they’re influential
If what really counts
Is decent folks
It doesn’t matter if they’re white
If they’re poor or famous
If what really matters
Is that they sing sweetly
