Lyrics

Cuando salí de la habana, válgame dios
Nadie me ha visto salir sino fuí yo Y una linda guachinanga como una flor
Se vino detrás de mí, que si señor
Si a tu ventana llega una paloma
Trátala con cariño que es mi persona
Cuéntale tus amores bien de mi vida
Corónala de flores que es cosa mía
Ay chinita que si, ay que darme tu amor
Ay que vente conmigo chinita
A donde vivo yo Y una linda guachinanga como una flor
Se vino detrás de mí, que si señor
Si a tu ventana llega una paloma
Trátala con cariño que es mi persona
Cuéntale tus amores bien de mi vida
Corónala de flores que es cosa mía
Ay chinita que si, ay que darme tu amor
Ay que vente conmigo chinita
A donde vivo yo Ay chinita que si, ay que darme tu amor
Ay que vente conmigo chinita
A donde vivo yo

Lyrics translation

When I left Havana, God forbid
No one's seen me go out but it was me and a pretty guachinanga like a flower
He came after me, that yes sir
If a pigeon comes to your window
Treat her with affection that she is my person
Tell him your loves well of my life
Crown it with flowers that is mine
Oh chinita that yes, oh that give me your love
Oh, come with me, chinita.
Where I live and a pretty guachinanga like a flower
He came after me, that yes sir
If a pigeon comes to your window
Treat her with affection that she is my person
Tell him your loves well of my life
Crown it with flowers that is mine
Oh chinita that yes, oh that give me your love
Oh, come with me, chinita.
Where I live Oh chinita that yes, oh that give me your love
Oh, come with me, chinita.
Where I live
