Acuérdate de Acapulco, de aquellas noches,
Remember Acapulco, those nights,
María bonita, María del alma.
Mary beautiful, Mary of the soul.
Acuérdate que en la playa,
Remember that on the beach,
con tus manitas las estrellitas, las enjuagabas.
With your little hands the stars, you rinsed them.
Tu cuerpo, del mar juguete, nave al garete,
Your body, from the sea toy, ship to the garete,
venían las olas lo columpiaban,
The waves were coming and swinging him,
y mientras yo te miraba, lo digo con sentimiento,
and while I looked at you, I say it with feeling,
mi pensamiento me traicionaba.
My thought betrayed me.
Te dije muchas palabras, de esas bonitas,
I told you many words, of those beautiful ones,
con que se arrullan los corazones,
with which hearts are lulled,
pidiendo que me quisieras,
asking you to love me,
que convirtieras en realidades, mis ilusiones.
that you would turn my illusions into realities.
La luna que nos miraba, ya hacía ratito, se hizo un poquito desentendida, y cuando la vi escondida,
The moon that looked at us, a little while ago, became a little unattended, and when I saw it hidden,
me arrodillé para besarte y así entregarte toda mi vida.
I knelt down to kiss you and thus give you all my life.
Amores habrás tenido, muchos amores,
Loves you will have had, many loves,
María bonita, María del alma,
Mary beautiful, Mary of the soul,
pero ninguno tan bueno ni tan honrado,
but none so good or so honest,
como el que hiciste que en mí brotara.
like the one you caused in me to sprout.
Lo traigo lleno de flores, como una ofrenda,
I bring it full of flowers, as an offering,
para dejarla bajo tus plantas.
to leave it under your plants.
Recíbelo emocionada y júrame que no mientes
Receive it excited and swear you don't lie
porque te sientes idolatrada.
Because you feel idolized
