Paroles et traduction Lucha Reyes - La Panchita

La Panchita

Y aquella que va río abajo se llama Panchita
Y tiene los ojos grandes, la boca chiquita
No sé qué siento cuando me mira, mamita del alma
Esa Panchita recondenada me roba la calma

Y cuando me ve enojado se ríe y se carcagia
Ya luego me ve temblando, me llena de labia
No sé qué hacerle, mamá querida, pa' que me quera'
Esa Panchita me tiene loco con su vacilón

Platica con los rancheros la prieta maldita
Y entre ellos parece pila del agua bendita
Yo hago corajes y trago biles, mamita del alma
Cuando platica con los rancheros ya no tengo calma

Me cita para en la noche, me tira mi plancha
Malaya, si así se burla de mí la tal Pancha
No sé qué hacerle, mamá querida, pa' que me quera'
Esa Panchita me tiene loco con su vacilón
Se llamaba Panchita

La Panchita

And that one that goes down the river is called Panchita
And she has big eyes, a small mouth
I don't know what I feel when she looks at me, my dear mother
That damned Panchita steals my peace

And when she sees me angry she laughs and cackles
Then she sees me trembling, she fills me with flattery
I don't know what to do, my dear mother, to make her love me
That Panchita drives me crazy with her teasing

She talks to the ranchers, the damn dark-skinned woman
And among them she seems like a font of holy water
I get angry and swallow venom, my dear mother
When she talks to the ranchers I have no peace

She stands me up at night, she teases me
Curse her, if that's how she mocks me, that Pancha
I don't know what to do, my dear mother, to make her love me
That Panchita drives me crazy with her teasing
Her name was Panchita
