Translation

Marita lo hace por guita

Marita does it for money

Con los bomberos del cuartel

With the firefighters from the station

Su barrio es tan inclemente

Her neighborhood is so relentless

Y su comparsa siempre es cruel.

And her troupe is always cruel


Sueña con que su rollo sea

She dreams that her story

Película de amores suaves.

Is a movie of soft loves


La murga de la virgencita

The murga of the little virgin

Es aguijón picante y miel

Is a spicy sting and honey

Se tambalea en sus tacones

She wobbles in her high heels

No tiene nada que perder...

She has nothing to lose...


Nunca pudo comer del queso

She could never eat the cheese

Sin que la trampera la aplaste

Without the cheater crushing her


Los coches van y viene

The cars come and go

Y su ilusión fulana

And her fickle illusion

Se empolva la nariz

She powders her nose

Muerde el labio y va otra vez

Bites her lip and goes again

Para ahogar arcadas gusto a menta

To drown nausea with mint flavor

Junto con sus bostezos

Along with her yawns


Sus chulos son legión

Her pimps are a legion

De "cucharangos" que hacen temblar

Of "cucharangos" that make her mouth tremble

De miedo su boquita

Her little mouth trembles with fear

Ay! ay! mi virgencita!

Oh! Oh! my little virgin!


Se maquilla la piel

She puts on makeup on her skin

Para el túnel del amor

For the tunnel of love

Y también para su tren fantasma

And also for her ghost train

(con la boquita seca)

(with a dry little mouth)

Será el propio buen dios

It will be God himself

Quién toca así el tambor

Who plays the drum like that

Y que ahuyenta su clientela

And scares away her clientele

Y la aflije con tristezas.

And afflicts her with sorrows


Pilchitas de poliester

Polyester outfits

Y santidad de virgen.

And the sanctity of a virgin


Milagro más milagro menos

More or less miracle

Otra polilla en busca de la luz

Another moth in search of light

La murga de esa virgencita

The murga of that little virgin

Que no quiere besar a nadie.

Who doesn't want to kiss anyone
