Lyrics

Recorda-te de Acapulco, daquelas noites
Maria Bonita, Maria querida !
Na praia deserta e escura, tua brancura
Era uma estrela do céu caída
Teu corpo que o mar beijava, lançando as ondas
Para alcançá-lo, não alcançava !
Confesso que ao contemplá-lo
Confesso com sentimento, meu pensamento, ai, me atraiçoava!
Eu disse muitas palavras dessas que a gente
Diz docemente em seus anseios
Pedindo que me atendesses, que convertesses
Em realidade, meus devaneios !
A lua que nos olhava foi-se escondendo discretamente na noite calma
Eu, reconhecidamente, cheguei-me para beijar-te e
E em beijos, dar-te, ai, toda minha’alma !
Amores sei que tivestes muitos amores, Maria Bonita, Maria querida !
Porém, nenhum tão honrado, tão branco e puro
Como o que eu juro por minha vida
Que trago cheio de flores para ofertar-te
Para adorar-te de alma ajoelhada! Recebe-o emocionada
E jura que não mentes porque te sentes, ai, idolatrada !

Lyrics translation

Remember Acapulco, those nights
Maria Bonita, Maria dearest !
On the deserted and dark beach, your whiteness
It was a fallen Sky star
Your body that the sea kissed, casting the waves
To reach him, did not reach !
I confess that in contemplating it
I confess with feeling, my thought, alas, attracted me!
I said many such words that we
Says sweetly in her longings
Asking you to attend to me, to convert
In reality, my daydreams !
The moon that looked at US was quietly hiding in the quiet night
I, admittedly, came to kiss you and
And in kisses, give you, alas, all my soul !
Loves I know you have had many loves, beautiful Mary, Dear Mary !
But none so honorable, so white and pure
Like what I swear by my life
That I bring full of flowers to offer you
To worship you on your knees! Gets him thrilled
And swear you don't lie because you feel, alas, idolized !
