Lyrics and translation Linda Ronstadt - La Mariquita

La Mariquita

Mariquita se llamaba
La que vive junto al río
Tápame con tu rebozo
Que ya me muero de frío
Si porque me la llevé
Su mamá se me enojo
Ahora que me lleve a mi
A ver si me enojo yo
Mariquita dame un beso
Tu mamá me lo mandó
Mi mamá mandará a mi
Pero es mi boquita yo

The Little Ladybug

Her name was Little Ladybug
She lives by the river
Cover me with your shawl
For I am freezing cold
Because I took her away
Her mother got angry with me
Now that you have taken me
Let's see if I get angry
Little Ladybug, give me a kiss
Your mother sent it to me
My mother will send me
But my lips are mine
