Translation of the song lyrics Maria Mulata - Marta Gomez

Maria Mulata (original)

La llaman así la Maria Mulata
Aunque ella de santa no tiene na'
Quien la ve volar tan cerca del agua
Piensa que se va a caer
…que se va a caer
La llaman así la Maria Mulata
Aunque de mulata no tiene na'
Y el negro brillante de sus dos alas
Contrasta con el azul de su mar
Maria Mulata (ella de santa no tiene na')
Maria Mulata (ella de mulata no tiene na')
Ay Maria Mulata (no tiene na')
Muy cerca del mar la Maria Mulata
Ella espera la hora de ir a robar
Quien la ve pasar cerca a la comida
Sabe, se la va a llevar
…se la va a llevar

Maria Mulata (translation)

They call her that Maria Mulata
Although she doesn't have anything as a saint
Who sees her fly so close to the water
She thinks she's going to fall
… That she is going to fall
They call her that Maria Mulata
Although she's a mulatto, she doesn't have anything
And the shiny black of her two wings
She contrasts with the blue of her sea
Maria Mulata (she has nothing to do with santa)
Maria Mulata (she has nothing to do with mulatto)
Ay Maria Mulata (she doesn't have na ')
Very close to the sea the Maria Mulata
She waits for the time to go steal
Who sees her pass near her to eat
She knows, she's going to take it
She... she's going to take it
