Lyrics of María Bonita - La Lupe

María Bonita (original)

MARA BONITA
Acurdate de Acapulco,
De aquellas noches,
Mara bonita,
Mara del alma.
Acurdate que en la playa
Con tus manitas
Las estrellitas
Las enjuagabas.
Tu cuerpo del mar juguete,
Nave al garete,
Venan las olas,
Lo columpiaban,
Y mientras yo te miraba,
Te juro con sentimiento,
Mi pensamiento te traicionaba.
Te dije muchas palabras
De esas bonitas
Con que se arrullan
Los corazones,
Pidiendo que mi quisieras,
Que convirtieras
En realidades
Mis ilusiones.
La luna que nos miraba
Ya haca un ratito
Se hizo un poquito
Desentendida,
Y cuando la vi escondida
Me arrodill a besarte
Y as entregarte
Toda mi vida.
Amores habrs tenido,
Muchos amores,
Mara Bonita,
Mara del alma,
Pero ninguno tan bueno
Ni tan honrado
Como el que hiciste
Que en m brotara.
Lo traigo lleno de flores
Como una ofrenda
Para dejarlo
Bajo tus plantas.
Recbelo emocionada
Y jrame que no mientes
Porque te sientes
Idolatrada.

(translation)

PRETTY MARY
Remember Acapulco,
of those nights,
pretty mara,
Mary of the soul
Remember that on the beach
with your little hands
the little stars
You rinsed them.
Your body of the sea toy,
ship adrift,
the waves come,
They swung him
And while I looked at you,
I swear to you with feeling,
My thought betrayed you.
I told you many words
of those pretty
with what they lull
The hearts,
Asking you to want me,
that you converted
It really is
My illusions.
The moon that looked at us
a while ago
It was done a little
unaware,
And when I saw her hidden
I knelt down to kiss you
And so surrender
All my life.
Loves you will have had,
Many Loves,
Mara Bonita,
Mary of the soul,
but none so good
not so honored
like the one you did
That it would sprout in me.
I bring it full of flowers
as an offering
to quit
Under your plants.
Receive it excited
And promise me you're not lying
why do you feel
Idolized.
