Yo vengo a darte mi despedida
I come to bid you farewell
Con este merengue sentimental
With this sentimental meringue
Para que sepas Maye querida
Just so you know Maye dear
Que yo me voy de Valledupar
That I'm leaving Valledupar
Para que sepas Maye querida
Just so you know Maye dear
Que yo me voy de Valledupar
That I'm leaving Valledupar
Porque me vaya para el Liceo
Because I'm going to the Lyceum
Te juro mi Maye no estoy contento
I swear my Maye I'm not happy
Las despedidas dan sentimiento
Farewells give feeling
Y eso es muy justo yo te lo creo
And that's very fair I believe it
Las despedidas dan sentimiento
Farewells give feeling
Y eso es muy justo yo te lo creo
And that's very fair I believe it
No llores mi Maye, no llores más
Don't cry my Maye, don't cry anymore
Que a mí me duele verte llorar
That it hurts me to see you cry
Tú sabes mi Maye cómo me duele
You know my Maye how it hurts
Que yo me vaya y que tú te quedes
May I leave and may you stay
Ponte mi Maye ese trajecito
Put on my Maye that little suit
Que te ponías cuando me esperabas
What you wore when you expected me
Ese que tiene flores pintadas
The one with painted flowers
Dos mariposas y un pajarito
Two butterflies and a little bird
Ese que tiene flores pintadas
The one with painted flowers
Dos mariposas y un pajarito
Two butterflies and a little bird
Yo no me opongo a que tú te pintes
I'm not opposed to you painting yourself
Esa boquita tan primorosa
That exquisite little mouth
Lo que yo temo es que se te quite
What I fear is that it will be taken away from you
Y me dejes pintadas dos mariposas
And leave me painted two butterflies
Tú sabes mi Maye cómo me duele
You know my Maye how it hurts
Que yo me vaya y que tú te quedes
May I leave and may you stay
No llores mi Maye, no llores más
Don't cry my Maye, don't cry anymore
Que a mí me duele verte llorar
That it hurts me to see you cry
Tú sabes mi Maye cómo me duele
You know my Maye how it hurts
Que yo me vaya y que tú te quedes
May I leave and may you stay
No llores mi Maye, no llores más
Don't cry my Maye, don't cry anymore
Que a mí me duele verte llorar
That it hurts me to see you cry
Ay tú sabes mi Maye cómo me duele
Oh you know my Maye how it hurts
Que yo me vaya y que tú te quedes
May I leave and may you stay
