Maria Bonita

Remember Acapulco
Those nights
Beautiful Maria, Maria of my soul
Remember that on the beach
With your little hands

The little stars
You rinsed them
Your body from the sea toy
Ship adrift

The waves came, they rocked it
From there I watched you
I say it with feeling
My thoughts, betrayed me

I told you many words
Of those beautiful ones
With which hearts are lulled

Making you love me
And turn my illusions into realities
The Moon that watched us
Had been a while

She became a little indifferent
And when I saw her hide
I knelt to kiss you
And thus give you all my life

You must have had loves, many loves
Beautiful Maria, Maria of my soul
But none as good, nor as honest
As the one you made sprout in me
I carried it full of flowers, like an offering

To lay it down
For your feet
Receive it excited
And swear to me you don't lie
Because you feel idolized
