Mija Lyrics in English by Edgardo Nuñez
Chaparrita is a diminutive of chaparra, which means 'short'. It's an affectionate term often used in Mexico to refer to a short woman or girl, similar to 'shorty' or 'little short one' in English.
In this song, the singer uses chaparrita chula, hermosa (beautiful, gorgeous shorty) as a term of endearment for the woman he is pursuing. It highlights a specific cultural way of expressing affection and attraction, making it a unique and memorable word from the lyrics.
Get ready for a super direct and passionate serenade from Edgardo Nuñez in "Mija"! This song is all about a guy who is head-over-heels in love and isn't afraid to show it. He's not messing around; he tells the woman he's singing to, "Mija, ¿qué esperas pa' que seas mía?" [Mija, what are you waiting for to be mine?] and even declares, "La neta contigo me caso" [Honestly, I'll marry you]. He's making it clear she's not just a fling, saying, "Tú no eres de esas para un rato" [You're not one of those for just a little while].
He's so smitten that he's willing to do anything to win her over. He admits, "Miento si digo que a ti no te ruego / Si quieres, mija, hasta te rezo" [I'd be lying if I said I don't beg you / If you want, mija, I'll even pray to you]. He's even ready to pay any price for her love, asking, "Dime cuánto cuesta tu cuerpo / Tus besos y una vida entera / No hay pedo, lo pago al contado" [Tell me how much your body costs / Your kisses and a whole life / No problem, I'll pay cash]. He's confident and ready to commit, promising, "De aquí pa' mañana te tengo a mi lado" [From here to tomorrow I'll have you by my side]. It's a fun, bold, and totally smitten declaration of love!
