Lyrics and translation Jorge Negrete - La Coqueta

La Coqueta

Cuando levanto los ojos
Y miro al cielo estrellado
Quiero estar enamorado

Pa tener a quien cantar
Pienso tener una novia

Mas bonita que una estrella
Y ser nada mas para ella
Y a ella nomas amar

Pero por desgracia mia
Hoy canto en una ventana
Canto de muy mala gana

Pues me da rabia el saber
Que canto a una coqueta

Que a mis amigos engaña
Los que ya son enemigos
Por culpa de esa mujer

Quiera dios, que si es bonita

Le de la viruela loca

Y su corazon de roca

Se le vuelva chicharron
Que la boca se le enchueque

Y le de mal de sambito

Se le achique el ojo izquierdo

Y le caiga comezon

Me da risa su mania
De hacer burla de los hombres
Que llorando todo el dia

Todavia buscan su amor
Ojala le salga un macho

Que le enseñe a ser sincera
Pa quitarle lo matrera
Y la haga entrar en razon

Quiera dios que si es bonita...

The Flirt

When I lift my eyes
And look at the starry sky
I want to be in love

To have someone to sing to
I plan to have a girlfriend

More beautiful than a star
And be nothing more to her
And only love her

But unfortunately for me
Today I sing at a window
I sing very reluctantly

Because it makes me furious to know
That I am singing to a flirt

Who deceives my friends
Who have already become enemies
Because of that woman

May God, if she is beautiful

Give her chicken pox

And her heart of stone

Turn to pork rinds
May her mouth become misshapen

And give her Saint Vitus' dance

May her left eye become small

And may she get an itch

Her mania makes me laugh
Making fun of men
Who cry all day

Still looking for their love
I hope she finds a man

Who will teach her to be honest
To take away her deceit
And make her come to her senses

May God, if she is beautiful...
