Lyrics and translation Los Mélodicos - Amparito

Amparito

En un viaje que hice a Barranquilla
Conocí a una linda colombiana
Me quedé, me quedé con las ganas
De casarme con esa chiquilla

En un viaje que hice a Barranquilla
Conocí a una linda colombiana
Me quedé, me quedé con las ganas
De casarme con esa chiquilla (¡ay, hombe!)

Amparito, Amparito
Te olvidaste del negrito
Ay, mira, mira de tu queridito

Amparito, Amparito
Y te creía mujer buena
Te fuiste pa Cartagena

Amparito, Amparito
Yo estaba pensando, tal vez buscando
Por toda Colombia te estaba esperando
Porque yo pensaba que me idolatrabas con el corazón

Amparito baila con soltura
Cuando escuche este ritmo, mi hermano
Ella dice que el venezolano
Sí que tiene fuego en la cintura

Amparito baila con soltura
Cuando escuche este ritmo, mi hermano
Ella dice que el venezolano
Sí que tiene fuego en la cintura, Amparito

Amparito, Amparito
Y el nombre de ese negrito, Amparito
Oye, se llama Gustavito

Amparito, Amparito
Quiero sentarme contigo en la hierbita, Amparito
Y decirte, decirte, lindas cositas

Amparito, Amparito
Yo estaba pensando, tal vez buscando
Por toda Colombia te estaba esperando
Porque yo pensaba que me idolatrabas con el corazón

Amparito, Amparito
Y yo pensaba, Amparito, que eras mi ilusión
Y yo te quería con el corazón

Amparito, Amparito
Que yo en Colombia te estaba buscando
Amparito mío, te estaba esperando

Te estaba pensando, tal vez buscando
Por toda Colombia te estaba esperando
Porque yo pensaba que me idolatrabas con el corazón

Oh-oh-oh-oh, ay, hombe

Amparito

On a trip I took to Barranquilla
I met a pretty Colombian girl
I was left, I was left wanting
To marry that young lady

On a trip I took to Barranquilla
I met a pretty Colombian girl
I was left, I was left wanting
To marry that young lady (oh, man!)

Amparito, Amparito
You forgot about this black man
Oh, look, look at your sweetheart

Amparito, Amparito
And I thought you were a good woman
You went to Cartagena

Amparito, Amparito
I was thinking, maybe searching
All over Colombia I was waiting for you
Because I thought you adored me with all your heart

Amparito dances with ease
When you hear this rhythm, my brother
She says that the Venezuelan
Sure has fire in his waist

Amparito dances with ease
When you hear this rhythm, my brother
She says that the Venezuelan
Sure has fire in his waist, Amparito

Amparito, Amparito
And the name of this black man, Amparito
Hey, his name is Gustavito

Amparito, Amparito
I want to sit with you in the grass, Amparito
And tell you, tell you, sweet little things

Amparito, Amparito
I was thinking, maybe searching
All over Colombia I was waiting for you
Because I thought you adored me with all your heart

Amparito, Amparito
And I thought, Amparito, that you were my dream
And I loved you with all my heart

Amparito, Amparito
That I was looking for you in Colombia
My Amparito, I was waiting for you

I was thinking about you, maybe searching
All over Colombia I was waiting for you
Because I thought you adored me with all my heart

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, man
