Lyrics of La Maravilla - Carlos Vives

La Maravilla (original)

LA MARAVILLA
Estudia y trabaja busca una salida
Me tiene comprado su vida es sencilla
Le apuesta a la gente no piensa en dinero
Igual presidente, igual pordiosero
Escucha una banda que toca en la villa
Cantando boleros con Celia su amiga
Lleva unos bluyines caderas caidas
Y tiene un ombligo que es la maravilla
Ella la duea de mis amores la de los ojos marrones
Que no me quieren mirar
Ella que no sabe de razones
La reina de corazones que todos quieren amar
Ella, que saben que es la mas bella
Que ha vivido en una estrella y que no la puedo alcanzar
Muy poco la he visto, me tiene olvidado
Y en el trasnmilenio va de arriba abajo
Y el fin de semana le da al ejercicio
No le gusta el juego, no le gusta el vicio
Y escucha una banda que toca en la villa
Cantando boleros con Celia su amiga
Lleva unos bluyines caderas caidas
Y tiene un ombligo que es la maravilla
Ella la duea de mis amores la de los ojos marrones
Que no me quieren mirar
Ella que no sabe de razones
La reina de corazones que todos quieren amar
Ella que sabe que es la mas bella
Que ha vivido en una estrella y que no la puedo alcanzar
Te pido muy poco, tan solo dulzura
La calle esta dura
Y si el matrimonio te llama a su villa
Busca una muchacha alegre y sencilla
Que te quiera mucho, tu propia costilla
Que escuche una banda tocando en la orilla
Cantando boleros con Celia su amiga
Lleva unos bluyines caderas caidas
Y tiene un ombligo que es la maravilla
Que es la maravilla, que es la maravilla

(translation)

THE WONDER
Study and work, look for a way out
He has bought me his life is simple
I bet people don't think about money
Same president, same beggar
Listen to a band playing in the villa
Singing boleros with Celia her friend
She wears some blue jeans with dropped hips
And she has a navel that is wonderful
She the owner of my loves the one with brown eyes
They don't want to look at me
She who does not know of reasons
The queen of hearts that everyone wants to love
She, who knows that she is the most beautiful
That she has lived in a star and that I cannot reach her
I have seen her very little, she has forgotten me
And in the transmilenio she goes up and down
And on the weekend she gives exercise
She doesn't like the game, she doesn't like the vice
And listen to a band that plays in the village
Singing boleros with Celia her friend
She wears some blue jeans with dropped hips
And she has a navel that is wonderful
She the owner of my loves the one with brown eyes
They don't want to look at me
She who does not know of reasons
The queen of hearts that everyone wants to love
She who knows that she is the most beautiful
That she has lived in a star and that I cannot reach her
I ask very little of you, just sweetness
the street is hard
And if the married couple calls you to their villa
Looking for a happy and simple girl
That she loves you very much, your own rib
Hear a band playing on the shore
Singing boleros with Celia her friend
She wears some blue jeans with dropped hips
And she has a navel that is wonderful
That she is the wonder, that she is the wonder
