Lyrics

Written by rubén fuentes

Mariquita se llamaba
La que vive junto al río
Tápame con tu rebozo
Que ya me muero de frío

Si porque me la llevé
Su mamá se me enojo; *
Ahora que me lleve a mi
A ver si me enojo yo

Mariquita dame un beso
Tu mamá me lo mandó
Mi mamá mandará a mi *
Pero es mi boquita yo *

La mariquita (lady bug)

Mariquita she was called
The girl that lives by the river
Cover me with your shawl
Because I am dying of cold

Because I took her away
Her mother was mad at me
Now that she is the one who takes me away
Let's see if I get mad at her

Give me a kiss mariquita
Your mother has ordered me to do so
My mother can give me orders
But she can't tell me who to kiss

Trio voices- linda ronstadt, mike ronstadt, pete ronstadt

&Copy; 1991 normal music (bmi)
