Soy un pobre venadito que
I am a poor little deer that
Habito en la serranía
I live in the mountains
Soy un pobre venadito que
I am a poor little deer that
Habito en la serranía

Como no soy tan mansito
Since I'm not so tame
No bajo al agua de día
I don't go under water during the day
De noche poco a poquito y a tus brazos
Little by little at night and into your arms
Vida mía ya tengo listo el nopal donde

He de cortar la tuna

Ya tengo listo el nopal donde

He de cortar la tuna

Como soy hombre formal, no me gusta tener una
As I am a formal man, I do not like to have one
Me gusta tener de a dos
I like having two
Por si se me enoja alguna
In case I get angry
Quisiera ser perla fina de tus lucidos aretes
I would like to be the fine pearl of your lucid earrings
Quisiera ser perla fina de tus lucidos aretes
I would like to be the fine pearl of your lucid earrings
Para besarte la orejita y
To kiss your ear and
Morderte los cachetes
bite your cheeks
Quién te manda ser bonita

Si hasta a mí me comprometes
If you even commit me
Quisiera ser perla fina de tus lucidos aretes

Ya con ésta me despido

Pero pronto doy la vuelta

No más que me libre Dios

De una niña mosca muerta

De esas que ¡ay mamá, por Dios!
One of those that oh mom, for God's sake!
Pero salen a la puerta
But they come out the door
