Lyrics and translation Rafael Escalona - La Maye




La Maye
La Maye
Yo vengo a darte mi despedida con este merengue sentimental (BIS)
I come to bid you farewell with this sentimental merengue (BIS)
Para que sepas maye querida que yo me voy de Valledupar (BIS)
So that you know my dear Maye that I am leaving Valledupar (BIS)
Porque me vaya para el liceo no
Because I am going to the high school, it doesn't mean
Creas mi maye que yo estoy muerto (bis)
You will think I am dead (bis)
Las despedidas dan sentimiento eso es muy justo yo te lo creo (bis)
Farewells give sentiment, that is very fair I believe you (bis)
No llores mi maye no llores más porque a me duele verte llorar
Don't cry my Maye, don't cry anymore because it hurts me to see you cry
Tu sabes mi maye como me duele que yo me vaya y que te quedes
You know my Maye how much it hurts me that I am leaving and you are staying
Lo que no quiero es verte celosa
What I don't want is to see you jealous
Lo que no quiero es verte llorar (bis)
What I don't want is to see you cry (bis)
Porque esa pena te va a matar y entonces tengo que buscar otra (bis)
Because that pain will kill you and then I will have to look for another (bis)
Ponete mi maye ese trajecito que te ponías cuando me esperabas (bis)
Put on that outfit my Maye, the one you wore when you were waiting for me (bis)
Ese que tiene flores pintadas dos mariposas y un pajarito (bis)
The one that has painted flowers, two butterflies and a little bird (bis)
No llores mi maye no llores más porque a me duele verte llorar
Don't cry my Maye, don't cry anymore because it hurts me to see you cry
Tu sabes mi maye como me duele que yo me vaya y que te quedes
You know my Maye how much it hurts me that I am leaving and you are staying
