Carito

Carito

Pensaba yo en estos tiempos
De incompresiones 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 despues 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 about these times
Of incomprehensions and disenchantments
And for so many good reasons
To dream without fainting
And I thought with nostalgia
From the innocence of those years
Of those first loves
That when remembering they are reborn
And I remember in my memory
Those times of Carito
She was a Miss Boston
Who taught at school
He liked Spanish
And although he spoke it very little
She had those beautiful eyes
They spoke very well of her

Carito speaks to me in English
How beautiful he looks
Carito speaks to me in English
What does it tell me, I don't know

Carito speaks to me in English
How beautiful he looks
Carito speaks to me in English
What does it tell me, I don't know

Carlitos don't be like that
Now listen to me
You will pay attention
I need you to write in English
Very perfect paragraph
And tell me where did you learn
Where you learn to be so flirtatious
Remember nothing about football
Until you finish the work you have
And he gave me a smile
And I was going crazy
And then in the exam
I turned everything upside down
Carito left the valley
I remember her singing
Because it made me very sad
He went to his land

Carito speaks to me in English
How beautiful he looks
Carito speaks to me in English
What does it tell me, I don't know

Carito speaks to me in English
How beautiful he looks
Carito speaks to me in English
What does it tell me, I don't know

Carito, tell me yes
I don't want to die
Carito don't tell me no
I'm dying for your love

Carito, tell me yes
I don't want to die
Carito don't tell me no
I'm dying for your love

What does race matter?
Neither the language
If in the end what counts
He is a good person
If you are from the highlands
Or from hot land
If in the end what is worth
It's about being good people
What does your creed matter?
If he is a man of influence
If in the end what counts
It's decent people
It doesn't matter if it's white
Whether he is poor or famous
If in the end what is worth
It's that he sings tasty
