Cariñito Lyrics in English Lila Downs

Feel the sway of the cumbia while your heart takes center stage! In "Cariñito," Mexican songstress Lila Downs blends irresistible tropical rhythms with a tender plea for everlasting love. The singer confesses that she literally cries for the one she adores: "Lloro por quererte, por amarte, por desearte" ("I cry for loving you, for wanting you, for desiring you"). Every tear becomes a rhythmic beat, turning raw emotion into music you cannot help but dance to.

Yet beneath the festive groove lies a simple, unforgettable request: "Nunca, pero nunca me abandones, cariñito" ("Never, never abandon me, my darling"). This heartfelt line repeats like a mantra, capturing the universal fear of losing someone special. "Cariñito" is a joyful cry of devotion, blending sweetness and vulnerability in a tune that invites you to move your feet while holding someone a little closer.
