Acuérdate de Acapulco
Remember Acapulco
De aquellas noches
Of those nights
María bonita, María del alma
Beautiful Mary, Mary of the soul
Acuérdate que en la playa
Remember that on the beach
Con tus manitas
with your little hands
Las estrellitas las enjuagabas
You rinsed the little stars
Tu cuerpo del mar juguete
Your body from the sea toy
Nave al garete
Ship to hell
Venían las olas lo columpiaban
The waves came and they swung it
Mientras yo te miraba
While I was looking at you
Lo digo con sentimiento
I say it with feeling
Mi pensamiento me traicionaba
My thoughts betrayed me
Te dije muchas palabras
I told you many words
De esas bonitas
One of those pretty ones
Con que se arrullan los corazones
With which hearts are lulled
Pidiendo que me quisieras
Asking you to love me
Que convirtieras en realidades mis ilusiones
May you turn my dreams into reality
La luna que nos miraba ya hacia ratito
The moon that had been looking at us for a while
Se hizo un poquito desentendida
She became a little oblivious
Why cuando la vi escondida
Why when I saw her hidden
Me arrodille pa´ besarte
I knelt down to kiss you
Why así entregarte toda mi vida
Why give you all my life
Amores habrás tenido
You must have had loves
Muchos amores
many loves
María bonita, María del alma
Beautiful Mary, Mary of the soul
Pero ninguno tan bueno Ni tan honrado
But none so good nor so honest
Como el que hiciste que en mi brotara
Like the one you made spring up in me
Lo traigo lleno de flores
I bring it full of flowers
Como una ofrenda
like an offering
Para dejarlo bajo tus plantas
To leave it under your plants
Recíbelo emocionada
Receive it excited
Why júrame que no mientes
Why swear to me that you don't lie
Porque te sientes idolatrada
Because you feel idolized
