Muchacha Encantadora
Los Chiches Del Vallenato
Lyrics
Translation
¡Ay! Muchacha encantadora que tienes
Oh, enchanting girl that you have
Que con tus mirada' le robas
With your glances, you steal
A cualquier distraído su atención
From any distracted one his attention
Y esa mirada penetrante
And that penetrating gaze
Que hace juego con mi mirada
That matches my gaze
Hace que un hombre pierda la razón
Makes a man lose his reason
Y ese cuerpo tan prohibido quiero dibujarlo
And that forbidden body, I want to draw it
Para tenerlo conmigo si es noble y sagrado
To have it with me if it's noble and sacred
Quiero ser un Miguel Ángel con pincel en mano
I want to be a Michelangelo with a brush in hand
Y hacer de ti otra Mona Lisa
And make of you another Mona Lisa
Y decir que tienen la misma mirada
And say they have the same gaze
Ayúdenme para enamorarla
Help me to make her fall in love
No quiere aceptarme ramos de flores
She doesn't want to accept bouquets of flowers from me
Y yo solo quiero dibujarla
And I just want to draw her
No se tranza, como deja, morir a un hombre
She doesn't yield, how she lets a man die
Ella dice que yo no merezco
She says that I don't deserve
Ser el dueño de toda su vida
To be the owner of all her life
Porque se turba cuando me mira
Because she gets flustered when she looks at me
O es que acaso ella me tiene miedo
Or is it that maybe she's afraid of me
Ayúdenme para enamorarla
Help me to make her fall in love
No quiere aceptarme ramos de flores
She doesn't want to accept bouquets of flowers from me
Y yo solo quiero dibujarla
And I just want to draw her
No se tranza, como deja, morir a un hombre
She doesn't yield, how she lets a man die
¡Ay! Me cuentan que vive orgullosa
Oh, they tell me she proudly lives
De que yo sea su enamorado
That I am her lover
Y por Dios que no entiendo a esa mujer
And by God, I don't understand that woman
Me esquiva si me ve pasando
She avoids me if she sees me passing by
Disimula si le estoy hablando
She pretends if I'm talking to her
Para no despertar su interés
Not to awaken her interest
Pero yo le puse una trampa y dije que marchaba
But I set a trap for her and said I was leaving
Muy lejos a dónde nunca más vuelva a molestarla
Far away where I'll never bother her again
No pudo contener el llanto y vi que en su mirada
She couldn't hold back the tears, and I saw in her gaze
Le daba un adiós a mi vida y pude notar que me amas muchacha
She bid farewell to my life, and I could see that you love me, girl
Ayúdenme para enamorarla
Help me to make her fall in love
No quiere aceptarme ramos de flores
She doesn't want to accept bouquets of flowers from me
Y yo solo quiero dibujarla
And I just want to draw her
No se tranza, como deja, morir a un hombre
She doesn't yield, how she lets a man die
Oye Sonia, te quiero
Hey Sonia, I love you
Ella dice que yo no merezco
She says that I don't deserve
Ser el dueño de toda su vida
To be the owner of all her life
Porque se turba cuando me mira
Because she gets flustered when she looks at me
O es que acaso ella me tiene miedo
Or is it that maybe she's afraid of me
Ayúdenme para enamorarla
Help me to make her fall in love
No quiere aceptarme ramos de flores
She doesn't want to accept bouquets of flowers from me
Y yo solo quiero dibujarla
And I just want to draw her
No se tranza, como deja, morir a un hombre
She doesn't yield, how she lets a man die
