SERENATA HUASTECA
Canto al pie de tu ventana
pa´que sepas que te quiero
tu a mi no me quieres nada
pero yo por ti me muero
Dicen que ando muy errado
que despierte de mis sueños
pero se han equivocado
porque yo he de ser tu dueño
Que voy a hacer
si deveras te quiero
ya te adoré
y olvidarte no puedo
Dicen que pa´conseguirte
necesito una fortuna
que debo bajar del cielo
las estrellas y la luna
Yo no bajaré la luna
ni las estrellas tampoco
y aunque no tengo fortuna
me querrás poquito a poco
Que voy a hacer
si deveras te quiero
ya te adoré
y olvidarte no puedo
Yo se que hay muchas mujeres
y que sobra quien me quiera
pero ninguna me importa
sólo pienso en ti morena
Mi corazón te ha escogido
y llorar no quiero verlo
ya el pobre mucho ha sufrido
ahora tienes que quererlo
Que voy a hacer
si deveras te quiero
ya te adoré
y olvidarte no puedo

SERENATA HUASTECA
I sing at the foot of your window
because you know I love you
you don't love me.
but I'm dying for you
They say I'm very wrong
May I awaken from my dreams
but they were wrong
'cause I'm gonna own you.
What am I going to do
if I really love you
I already loved you.
and I can't forget you
They say I can follow you
I need a fortune
that I must come down from heaven
the stars and the moon
I won't lower the moon
neither are the stars
and although I have no fortune
you'll love me little by little
What am I going to do
if I really love you
I already loved you.
and I can't forget you
I know there are many women
and what's left of anyone who loves me
but I don't care about any of them.
I only think of you brunette
My heart has chosen you
and cry I don't want to see it
already the poor man has suffered a lot
now you have to love it
What am I going to do
if I really love you
I already loved you.
and I can't forget you
