Translation

Dónde estabas Maria Inez?

Where were you, Maria Inez?

Recojiendo maracucha

Picking up maracuja

Y ahora dime con quien

And now tell me with whom?

Con el hijo de Marucha

With Marucha's son


Mira muchacha loca dejate de hace esas cosas

Look, crazy girl, stop doing these things

parece que no sigueras consejos de los viejos

It seems like you don't follow the advice of the old ones

de experiencia

Based on experience

Precisamente ayer andabas con tu novio pa'

Just yesterday, you were with your boyfriend

arregla el asunto ese del presunto matrimonio que

Sorting out that matter of the presumed marriage

ya tienen en en veremos

That they already have on hold

Por que se ha dado cuenta que tienes amorios con un control

Because he has realized that you have affairs with a radio host

de la radio, un locutor, un futbolista

A announcer, a football player

y el cantante de esta orquesta

And the singer of this orchestra


Si sigues del timbo al tambo como un fandango bailando

If you continue from place to place like a fandango dancing

mambo con el sobrino de Rafael

Mambo with Rafael's nephew

veras que no era mentira lo que decian las malas

You will see that what the bad ones said was not a lie

que predecian lo que te podria suceder

They predicted what could happen to you


Ay ponle cuidado Maria Inez

Oh, pay attention, Maria Inez

Para que puedas aprender (que los hombres se respetan)

So that you can learn (that men are to be respected)


Ay no no no no no Maria Inez esta rumba tuya por doquier

Oh no no no no no, Maria Inez, this party of yours everywhere

quizas te pueda repercudir

Maybe it can backfire on you

Aunque cambies de cartera y te compres ropa nueva

Even if you change your purse and buy new clothes

siempre seras la rumbera

You will always be the party girl
