Lyrics and translation Chavela Vargas - Macorina




Macorina
Macorina
Ponme la mano aquí, Macorina
Put Your Hand Here, Macorina
Ponme la mano aquí
Put your hand here
Ponme la mano aquí, Macorina
Put your hand here, Macorina
Ponme la mano aquí
Put your hand here
Tus pies dejaban la estera
Your feet left the mat
Y se escapaba tu saya
And your skirt escaped
Buscando la verde raya
Looking for the green stripe
Que al ver tu talle tan fino
That when seeing your waist so fine
Las cañas azucareras
The sugar cane
Se echaban por el camino
Threw themselves in the road
Para que tu las molieras
So that you would grind them
Como si fueses molino
As if you were a mill
Ponme la mano aquí, Macorina
Put Your Hand Here, Macorina
Ponme la mano aquí
Put your hand here
Ponme la mano aquí, Macorina
Put your hand here, Macorina
Ponme la mano aquí
Put your hand here
Tus senos carne de anón
Your breasts flesh of anona
Tu boca una bendición
Your mouth a blessing
De guanábana madura
Of ripe soursop
Y era tu fina cintura
And your fine waist
La misma de aquel danzon
Was the same as that danzon
Ponme la mano aquí, Macorina
Put Your Hand Here, Macorina
Ponme la mano aquí
Put your hand here
Ponme la mano aquí, Macorina
Put your hand here, Macorina
Ponme la mano aquí
Put your hand here
Después el amanecer
Then dawn
Que de mis brazos te lleva
That takes you from my arms
Y yo sin saber que hacer
And I without knowing what to do
De aquel olor a mujer
Of that scent of woman
A mango y a caña nueva
Of mango and new cane
Con que me llenaste al son
With which you filled me to the sound
Caliente de aquel danzon
Warm of that danzon
Ponme la mano aquí, Macorina
Put Your Hand Here, Macorina
Ponme la mano aquí
Put your hand here
Ponme la mano aquí, Macorina
Put your hand here, Macorina
Ponme la mano aquí
Put your hand here
