Caparrita Enlutadita

Mournful shorty
Tell me who died on you
If your lover died
Don't cry, I'm here.

Don't dress in color
Don't reveal yourself
Because they're saying around
That you should stop loving me.

Everyone in your house
Can't stand me
Because of how badly I've behaved
Or my ways of loving.

It doesn't matter if they don't like me
That won't matter to me
If God allows it
I will marry you.

If they want to meet her
I'll describe her to them
She's a dark-skinned shorty
Very cute to walk around.

I don't say goodbye to them
Because I don't bring her here
I left her with my dark-skinned girl
So she remembers me
