Lyrics of María bonita - Lucho Gatica

María bonita (original)

Acuerdate de Acapulco
de aquella noche
Maria Bonita, María del alma;
acuerdate que en la playa,
con tus manitas las estrellitas
las enjuagabas.
Tu cuerpo, del mar juguete nave al garete
venían las olas lo columpiaban
why mientras yo te miraba
lo digo con sentimiento
mi pensamiento me traicionaba.
Te dije muchas palabras de esas bonitas
con que se arrullan los corazones
pidiendo que me quisieras
que convirtieras en realidades
mis ilusiones.
La luna que nos miraba
ya hacía ratito
se hizo un poquito desentendida
why cuando lavi escondida
me arrodille para besarte
why así entregarte toda mi vida.
Amores habras tenido muchos amores
Maria Bonita, María del alma;
pero ninguno tan bueno ni tan honrado
como el que hiciste que en mi brotara
Lo traigo lleno de flores
como una ofrenda
para deajarla bajo tus plantas,
recibelo emocionada
why jurame que no mientes
porque te sientes idolatrada.

(translation)

Remember Acapulco
of that night
Maria Bonita, Maria of the soul;
remember that on the beach,
with your little hands the little stars
you rinsed them
Your body, from the sea toy ship adrift
the waves came they swung it
and while I was looking at you
I say it with feeling
my thought betrayed me.
I told you many of those beautiful words
with which hearts are lulled
asking you to love me
that you turned into reality
My illusions.
The moon that watched us
it was a while ago
she became a little misunderstood
and when I washed hidden
I knelt down to kiss you
and so give you all my life.
loves you will have had many loves
Maria Bonita, Maria of the soul;
but none so good or so honest
like the one you made sprout in me
I bring it full of flowers
as an offering
to leave it under your plants,
receive it excited
and swear to me that you do not lie
because you feel idolized.
