Lyrics
Acuérdate de Acapulco
De aquellas noches
María bonita, María del alma
Acuérdate que en la playa
Con tus manitas
Las estrellitas las enjuagabas
Tu cuerpo del mar juguete
Nave al garete
Venían las olas lo columpiaban
Mientras yo te miraba
Lo digo con sentimiento
Mi pensamiento me traicionaba
Te dije muchas palabras
De esas bonitas
Con que se arrullan los corazones
Pidiendo que me quisieras
Que convirtieras en realidades mis ilusiones
La luna que nos miraba ya hacia ratito
Se hizo un poquito desentendida
Y cuando la vi escondida
Me arrodille pa´besarte
Y asíentregarte toda mi vida
Amores habrás tenido
Muchos amores
María bonita, María del alma
Pero ninguno tan bueno Ni tan honrado
Como el que hiciste que en mi brotara
Lo traigo lleno de flores
Como una ofrenda
Para dejarlo bajo tus plantas
Recíbelo emocionada
Y júrame que no mientes
Porque te sientes idolatrada
Lyrics translation
Remember Acapulco
Of those nights
Maria bonita, Maria del alma
Remember that on the beach
With your little hands
The little stars you were rinsing
Your Sea body toy
Ship to garete
Come the waves swung it
While I was looking at you
I say it with feeling
My thought betrayed me
I told you a lot of words
Of those pretty ones
With which the hearts lull out
Asking you to love me
That you would turn my illusions into reality
The moon that was looking at us for a while
She got a little out of touch
And when I saw her hiding
I kneel pabesarte
And so I give you my whole life
You must have had love
Many loves
Maria bonita, Maria del alma
But none so good or so honest
Like the One You Made in me sprout
I bring it full of flowers
As an offering
To leave it under your plants
Welcome excited
And swear not to lie
Because you feel idolized
