Mariquita Lyrics in English Caifanes
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mariquita by Caifanes from Spanish to English.
Ay cielos que dolor
Oh heavens, what pain
Dijo una garza morena
Said a dark heron
Hay muertos que no hacen ruido
There are dead who make no sound
Y son mayores sus penas
And their sorrows are greater
Ay cielos que dolor
Oh heavens, what pain
Dijo una garza morena
Said a dark heron
Hay muertos que no hacen ruido
There are dead who make no sound
Y son mayores sus penas
And their sorrows are greater
Ay qué le da
Oh, what's it giving
Qué le da y vamos a ver
What's it giving and let's see
A ver como corre el agua
Let's see how the water runs
Vamos a verla correr
Let's go see it run
Ay qué le da
Oh, what's it giving
Qué le da vamos a ver
What's it giving, let's see
El agua que se derrama
The water that spills
No se vuelve a recoger
Can't be gathered again
Mariquita quita quita
Mariquita, take away, take away
Quita me de padecer
Take me from suffering
Que el rato que no te veo
For the time I don't see you
Loco me quiero volver
I want to go crazy
Lucero de la mañana
Morning star
De la mañana lucero
Of the morning, bright star
Si supieras vida mía
If you only knew, my life
Lo bastante que te quiero
How much I love you
Ay qué le da
Oh, what's it giving
Qué le da y vamos a ver
What's it giving and let's see
A ver como corre el agua
Let's see how the water runs
Vamos a verla correr
Let's go see it run
Ay qué le da
Oh, what's it giving
Qué me da vamos a ver
What's it giving me, let's see
El agua que se derrama
The water that spills
No se vuelve a recoger
Can't be gathered again

Did you like this lyrics translation?
padecer — to suffer
Padecer means "to suffer" or "to endure". It's a more formal and intense verb than simply saying "doler" (to hurt), conveying a deeper sense of prolonged suffering or hardship.
In "Mariquita", the lyric "Quita me de padecer" (Take away my suffering) is a plea to be relieved from emotional pain, likely from unrequited love or longing. This word adds a dramatic and heartfelt layer to the song's emotional core, making it particularly memorable.
