Que bonito borda el agua
How beautiful the water embroiders
Desgranando la arenita
Shelling the sand
Así se desgrana mi alma
This is how my soul is shelled
Por una mujer bonita
For a pretty woman
Desde mi casa a la tuya
From my home to yours
Contados tengo los pasos
Counted I have the steps
Yo prefiero verte muerta
I'd rather see you dead
Que gozando en otros brazos
That enjoying in other arms
Voy a hacerte una corona
I'm going to make you a crown
Con las estrellas del cielo
With the stars of the sky
Para que veas vida mía
That you may see my life
Lo mucho que yo te quiero

Ve las nubes tan bonitas

Se juntan y crece el rio
They come together and the river grows
Con unos cuantos besitos
With a few kisses
Haré tu cariño mio

Que bonito el tiempo de agua

Bonito el maíz ilotiando
Bonito corn ilotiando
Parece que veo tu pelo
I seem to see your hair
Por donde quiera que yo ando
Everywhere I go
Que granos tan amarillos

Hacienda santa maría

Que bonito ojos tienes
