Lyrics

Ã"yeme morena
No te pongas tan rabiosa
Porque así no son las cosas
Para una mujer bonita
Mira que yo quiero
Que tu abuela no lo sepa
Porque si vas a la fiesta
Es para que goces sólita
Quiero parrandear en Villanueva
Con una morena bien candela
Con una morena bien candela
Pero si me sales parrandera
Ay quizás
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera morena
Si me sales parrandera
Yo tenía una pena
Pero ya se me ha quitado
Porque estoy enamorado
De una muchachita buena
Es de lo contrario
De lo que me imaginaba
Porque allí donde tu bailas
Dejarás un gran rosario
Pero si me sales parrandera
Dile a tu abuelita que no vea
Dile a tu abuelita que no vea
Porque si no cae se tambalea
Y quizás
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera morena
Si me sales parrandera

Lyrics translation

Yeme morena
Don't get so angry
Because that's not the way things are
For a pretty woman
Look What I want
Don't let your grandmother know.
Because if you go to the party
It is for you to enjoy only
I want to party in Villanueva
With a fine brunette candle
With a fine brunette candle
But if you come out I'll party
Ay maybe
You're going to cut the scissors
You're going to cut the scissors
You're going to cut the scissors
You're going to cut the brunette scissors
If you come out I'll party
I had a pity
But it's already taken away from me
Because I'm in love
From a good little girl
It is otherwise
Than I imagined
'Cause that's where you dance
You'll leave a big rosary
But if you come out I'll party
Tell your grandma not to see
Tell your grandma not to see
'Cause if it doesn't fall, it wobbles.
And maybe
You're going to cut the scissors
You're going to cut the scissors
You're going to cut the scissors
You're going to cut the brunette scissors
If you come out I'll party
