Paroles et traduction Antonio Aguilar - Alta y Delgadita

Alta y Delgadita

¡Que viva Zacatecas!
Sí señor, sí señor, que viva, que viva, sí señor

Eres alta y delgadita
Tu hermosura me provoca
Mira que nariz, que boca
Que cuerpo que cinturita
No la cambiaria por otra
Aunque fuera mas bonita

Eres vaso de cristal
Que en el mar andas nadando
Como no te puedo hablar
Por eso me ando rodeando
No seas ingrata mujer
No me hagas andar penando

¡No me hagas sufrir, mujer!

Del arbol se caen las hojas
Y del sol no hay que dudar
Bonitas son las muchachas
Sacandolas a pasear
Con dinero y no con señas
¡Ay! Qué rechulo es amar

Me subí al cerro mas alto
A preguntarle a cupido
Qué cual era la campana
Con que se tocaba olvido
Para olvidar a esa ingrata
Que olvidarla no he podido

Cupido me contestó
No le metas corte al pino
La mujer que sea celosa
Dale pronto su destino
Que se quede como el oso
Devisando pa'l camino

Ya con esta me despido
Deshojando una rosita
Aquí se acaban cantando
Versos de la delgadita
No la cambiaría por otra
Ni aunque fuera mas bonita

Tall and Thin

Long live Zacatecas!
Yes sir, yes sir, long live, long live, yes sir

You are tall and thin
Your beauty provokes me
Look at that nose, that mouth
That body, that waistline
I wouldn't trade you for another
Even if she was more beautiful

You are a glass vial
Swimming in the sea
As I cannot speak to you
That's why I'm hanging around
Don't be ungrateful, woman
Don't make me suffer and grieve

Don't make me suffer, woman!

Leaves fall from the tree
And there is no doubt about the sun
Girls are pretty
When you take them out for a walk
With money, not with signs
Oh! How wonderful it is to love

I climbed the highest hill
To ask Cupid
What was the bell
With which oblivion was rung
To forget that ungrateful woman
Whom I have not been able to forget

Cupid answered me
Do not court that pine
A woman who is jealous
Give her what she deserves
Let her be like a bear
Looking at the road

Now I bid you farewell
Plucking a little rose
Here they finish singing
Verses of the thin one
I would not exchange her for another
Not even if she were more beautiful
