Lyrics

Mulata infeliz tu vida acabó
De risa y guaracha se ha roto el bongó
Que oias ayer temblando de amor
Y con ilusión junto a un hombre cruel
Su amor ya se fue de mi corazón
Que hoy ya la aborrece porque mi pasión
Que hirió su traición yan tan solo es
Sed de verlo al fin tendido a mis pies
María la o ya no más cantar
María la o hora es de llorar
De tus besos, que tan fugaz ya voló
María la o toso se acabó
Tu amor ya se fue de tu corazón
Y jamás él volverá
María la o sueña en morir

Lyrics translation

Unhappy mulatto your life is over
Of laughter and guaracha has broken the Bongo
That you heard yesterday trembling with love
And with illusion next to a cruel man
His love is already gone from my heart
Who already hates her today because my passion
That hurt his betrayal yan just is
Thirst to see him at last lying at my feet
Mary the OR NO MORE singing
Mary the hour is to weep
Of your kisses, how fleeting already flew
Maria la O toso is over
Your love is already gone from your heart
And he'll never come back
Mary o dreams of dying
