Manuelita La Tortuga (original)Manuelita La Tortuga (translation)
Manuelita vivía en Peguajó Manuelita lived in Peguajó
Pero un día se marchó But she one day she left
Nadie supo bien por qué No one quite knew why
A París ella se fue To Paris she went
Un poquito caminando a little walking
Y otro poquitito a pie And another little bit on foot
Manuelita, Manuelita Manuelita, Manuelita
Manuelita dónde vas Manuelita where are you going
Con tu traje de malaquita With your malachite suit
Y tu paso tan audaz And your step so bold
Manuelita una vez se enamoró Manuelita once fell in love
De un tortugo que pasó Of a turtle that passed
Dijo: ¿Qué podré yo hacer? She said: What can I do?
Vieja no me va a querer Old woman is not going to love me
En Europa y con paciencia In Europe and with patience
Me podrán embellecer they can beautify me
En la tintorería de Paris At the dry cleaners in Paris
La pintaron con barniz they painted it with varnish
La plancharon en francés They ironed her in French
Del derecho y del revés The right and upside down
Le pusieron peluquita they gave him a wig
Y botines en los pies And booties on the feet
Tantos años tardó en cruzar el mar So many years it took her to cross the sea
Que allí se volvió a arrugar That she there she wrinkled again
Y por eso regresó and that's why she came back
Vieja como se marchó Old as she left
A buscar a su tortugo To look for his tortoise
Que la espera en PeguajóThat she awaits her in Peguajó
