Mi Chaparrita

I have a little affection
That cannot be
She's tiny
She needs to grow.

She's the queen of my soul
Queen of my love
She's my little darling
She's all loveliness.

To my little darling
I love her very much
Even though she's small
She's all giving.

With my little one
I am the most fortunate
She's the most beautiful
She's a flower.

I have a little affection
That cannot be
She's tiny
She needs to grow.

She's the queen of my soul...(etc.)

When we go to the movies
They don't let her watch
She gets upset
She wants to go dance.

Once we're at the dance
I have to watch out
That nobody steps on
My little darling.

To my little darling
I love her very much...(etc.)

...she's the most beautiful
The most affectionate
She's my little darling
Queen of my love.
