Alta y Delgadita
Antonio Aguilar
Lyrics
Translation
Eres alta y delgadita
You are tall and slender
Tu hermosura me provoca
Your beauty provokes me
Mira que nariz que boca
Look at that nose, that mouth
Que cuerpo que cinturita
What a body, what a little waist
No la cambiaría por otra
I wouldn't trade it for another
Aunque fuera más bonita
Even if she were more beautiful
Eres vaso de cristal
You're a crystal glass
Que en el mar andas nadando
Swimming in the sea
Como no te puedo hablar
Since I can't talk to you
Por eso me ando rodeando
That's why I keep circling
No seas ingrata mujer
Don't be ungrateful, woman
No me hagas andar penando
Don't make me suffer
De árbol se caen las hojas
Leaves fall from the tree
Y del Sol no hay que dudar
And there's no doubting the sun
Bonitas son las muchachas
The girls are beautiful
Sacándolas a pasear
Taking them out for a walk
Con dinero y no con señas
With money, not with signs
Ay, qué rechulo es amar
Oh, how beautiful it is to love
Me subí al cerro más alto
I climbed the highest hill
A preguntarle a cupido
To ask Cupid
Que cuál era la campana
Which bell
Con que se tocaba olvido
Played the tune of forgetfulness
Para olvidar a esa ingrata
To forget that ungrateful one
Que olvidarla no he podido
Whom I haven't been able to forget
Cupido me contestó
Cupid replied to me
No le metas corte al pino
Don't mess with the pine
La mujer que sea celosa
The woman who is jealous
Dale pronto su destino
Quickly give her fate
Que se quede como el oso
Let her stay like the bear
Devisando pa'l' camino
Contemplating the path
Ya con esta me despido
Now with this, I say goodbye
Desojando una rosita
Plucking a little rose
Aquí se acaban cantando
Here, singing
Versos de la delgadita
Verses about the slender one end
No la cambiaría por otra
I wouldn't trade her for another
Ni aunque fuera más bonita
Even if she were more beautiful
