Lyrics
Soy un pobre venadito que habito en la serranía
Soy un pobre venadito que habito en la serranía
Como no soy tan mansito, no bajo al agua de día
De noche poco a poquito y a tus brazos, vida mía.
Ya tengo listo el nopal donde he de cortar la tuna,
Ya tengo listo el nopal donde he de cortar la tuna,
Como soy hombre formal, no me gusta tener una,
Me gusta tener de a dos, por si se me enoja alguna
(Ay, vaya filosofía, mira)
Quisiera ser perla fina de tus lúcidos aretes,
Quisiera ser perla fina de tus lúcidos aretes,
Pa' besarte la orejita y morderte los cachetes,
Quién te manda ser bonita,
Si hasta a mí me comprometes.
Quisiera ser perla fina de tus lúcidos aretes,
Quisiera ser perla fina de tus lúcidos aretes,
Pa' besarte la orejita y morderte los cachetes,
Quién te manda ser bonita,
Si hasta a mí me comprometes.
Ya con ésta me despido, pero pronto doy la vuelta
Ya con ésta me despido, pero pronto doy la vuelta
No más que me libre Dios de una niña mosca muerta,
De esas que ¡ay mamá, por Dios!, pero salen a la puerta.
Lyrics translation
I'm a poor little deer that lives in the mountains
I'm a poor little deer that lives in the mountains
Since I'm not so meek, I don't go under the water during the day
From night to night, little by little and your arms, my life.
I've got the nopal ready where I have to cut the tuna,
I've got the nopal ready where I have to cut the tuna,
Since I'm a formal man, I don't like having a,
I like to have two, in case I get angry
(Oh, what a philosophy, look)
I'd like to be the fine pearl of your lucid earrings,
I'd like to be the fine pearl of your lucid earrings,
Pa ' kiss your little ear and bite your cheeks,
Who tells you to be pretty,
If you even commit me.
I'd like to be the fine pearl of your lucid earrings,
I'd like to be the fine pearl of your lucid earrings,
Pa ' kiss your little ear and bite your cheeks,
Who tells you to be pretty,
If you even commit me.
With this one I say goodbye, but soon I turn around
With this one I say goodbye, but soon I turn around
No more than I FREE God from a dead fly girl,
Oh, mom, for God's sake! but they walk out the door.
