Lyrics
Tengo un amor, un gran amor
Muy chiquitito
Tiene los ojos negros
La boca roja: es muy bonito
Tengo un amor
Un gran amor
Muy chiquitito
Dice que no me quiere
Pero se muere
Cuando la beso
Muy despacito
Si me dice que vaya pa' allá, ahí voy
Si me dice que venga pa' acá, ahí vengo
Acabé como soldado raso
Y me trae loco marcando el paso
Porque yo, sin ella, estoy perdidazo
Tengo un amor
Un gran amor
De ese del bueno
Me dice tantas cosas
Que son preciosas
Que son de sueño
Tengo un amor
Un gran amor
Del mero bueno
Me encanta ver su cara
Coloradita
Cuando me grita
«¡Tú eres mi dueño!»
Si me dice que vaya pa' allá, ahí voy
Si me dice que venga pa' acá, ahí vengo
Acabé como soldado raso
Y me trae loco marcando el paso
Porque yo, sin ella, estoy perdidazo
Lyrics translation
I have a love, a great love
Very small
He's got black eyes.
The red mouth: it is very nice
I have a love
A great love
Very small
He says he doesn't love me.
But he dies
When I kiss her
Very slowly
If you tell me to go over there, there I go.
If you tell me to come over here, there I come.
I ended up as a private.
And it drives me crazy marking the step
Because I, Without Her, am lost
I have a love
A great love
From that of the good
He tells me so many things
That are beautiful
That are dream
I have a love
A great love
Of the mere good
I love to see your face
Coloradite
When he yells at me
"You own me!»
If you tell me to go over there, there I go.
If you tell me to come over here, there I come.
I ended up as a private.
And it drives me crazy marking the step
Because I, Without Her, am lost
