Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Niña Hechicera by Joan Sebastian from Spanish to English.
A los que se pregunten
To those who wonder
Y a los que te pregunten
And to those who ask you
Si aun tengo leña para tu hoguera
If I still have firewood for your bonfire
Cuéntales un poquito no digas todo
Tell them a little, don't say everything
Niña hechicera
Enchanting girl
Diles que eres la cuerda
Tell them that you are the string
La cuerda que hace bailar mi trompo
The string that makes my spinning top dance
Y hoy te pido me perdones
And today I ask you to forgive me
Si hemos llorado el silencio rompo
If we have cried, I break the silence
Nada mejor que el compás de tu cadera
Nothing better than the rhythm of your hip
Ni más bello que tus valles
Nor more beautiful than your valleys
Y tus volcanes
And your volcanoes
Niña hechicera
Enchanting girl
Nada mejor que el vaivén
Nothing better than the sway
De nuestros cuerpos
Of our bodies
Mas no hay que contarles todo
But we don't have to tell them everything
No sea que caigan de envidia muertos
Lest they die of envy
A los que se pregunten
To those who wonder
Y a los que te pregunten
And to those who ask you
Como le hiciste, que brujería
How did you do it, what witchcraft
Déjalos ver tus ojos, que vean tu alma
Let them see your eyes, let them see your soul
Yo dejaré se asomen al gran amor
I will let them peek into the great love
Que por ti yo siento
That I feel for you
Y te pido me perdones
And I ask you to forgive me
Si enamorado al mundo le cuento
If I tell the world about my love for you
Nada mejor que el compás de tu cadera
Nothing better than the rhythm of your hip
Ni más bello que tus valles
Nor more beautiful than your valleys
Y tus volcanes
And your volcanoes
Niña hechicera
Enchanting girl
Nada mejor que el vaivén
Nothing better than the sway
De nuestros cuerpos
Of our bodies
Mas no hay que decirles todo
But we don't have to tell them everything
No sea que caigan de envidia muertos
Lest they die of envy
No, no hay que contarles todo
No, we don't have to tell them everything
No sea que caigan de envidia muertos
Lest they die of envy
A los que se pregunten
To those who wonder
