Translation

Ando en busca de una chaparrita

I'm in search of a short girl

Que ase mas de un mes que no la miro

Whom I haven't seen for over a month

Ojala y me la encuentre lavando

Hopefully, I find her washing

Por allá en las orillas del rio

Over there on the banks of the river


Y si acaso no esta por el rio

And if she's not by the river

Me tendré que acercar a su casa

I'll have to approach her house

Que esta vida pa mi es un martirio

Because this life is martyrdom for me

Ya no puedo vivir sin mirarla

I can't live without looking at her


Chaparrita te traigo en mi mente

Short girl, I carry you in my mind

No me olvido de ti ni un momento

I don't forget about you for a moment

Corresponde al amor que te tengo

It corresponds to the love I have for you

Por piedad vida mía te lo ruego

For pity's sake, my life, I beg you


Y si acaso me toca encontrarla

And if I happen to find her

Tratare de buscar sus amores

I will try to find her affections

Aunque tenga que andar de rodillas

Even if I have to walk on my knees

O llorar como lloran los hombres

Or cry like men cry


Chaparrita te traigo en mi mente

Short girl, I carry you in my mind

No me olvido de ti ni un momento

I don't forget about you for a moment

Corresponde al amor que te tengo

It corresponds to the love I have for you

Por piedad vida mía te lo ruego

For pity's sake, my life, I beg you
