Lyrics of La Yapa - Jorge Rojas

La Yapa (original)

Una joya para mi
Es el sabor de tus besos
Se caen del propio peso
Pero no llegan al fin
Y prefieres presumir
Teniendome preso
Estoy convencido que
Tus ojos brillan de verme
Y no puedo convencerme
Porque me dijiste ayer
Que habra una primera vez
Maana con suerte
Yo quiero sin ofender
Decirte que andas uvita
El corazon te palpita
Tan solo de suponer
Que te pedire otra vez
Me des la yapita
No soy pretencioso, amor
Pero porque me lastimas
Adentro llevo una espina
Que me dobla el corazon
Si la yapa es la ilusion
De toda mi vida
A veces me da a pensar
Que vos te haces la rogada
Mi ruego no tiene entrada
Te haces la de no escuchar
Que ya en el tramo final
La yapa no es nada
Para poder aflojar
Y comprender que no miento
De mis labios juramentos
Quizas tengas que escuchar
Sino tendre que esperar
Hasta el casamiento
No entiendo porque razon
Tu corazon se me escapa
Y tu boquita me mata
Cuando me dices que no
Que aparte del corazon
Te pido la yapa

(translation)

a jewel for me
It is the taste of your kisses
They fall under their own weight
But they don't come to an end
And you'd rather brag
holding me prisoner
I am convinced that
Your eyes shine to see me
And I can't convince myself
because you told me yesterday
That there will be a first time
tomorrow with luck
I want no offense
Tell you that you are uvita
The heart beats you
just to assume
that I will ask you again
give me the yapita
I'm not pretentious, love
but why do you hurt me
Inside I carry a thorn
that bends my heart
If the yapa is the illusion
of all my life
Sometimes it makes me think
That you do the request
My request has no input
You pretend not to listen
That already in the final stretch
The yapa is nothing
To be able to loosen up
And understand that I do not lie
From my lips oaths
maybe you have to listen
Otherwise I will have to wait
Until the wedding
I don't understand why
Your heart escapes me
And your little mouth kills me
when you tell me no
What apart from the heart
I ask you for the yapa
