| Chaparrita de mi vida,
| shorty of my life,
|
| ya se te llego la hora,
| your time has come,
|
| si andabas buscando un hombre
| if you were looking for a man
|
| ya lo tienes en persona,
| you already have it in person,
|
| si otros te dejaron ir,
| if others let you go,
|
| este no te la perdona.
| this one does not forgive you.
|
| Yo no soy de los que juran,
| I am not one of those who swear,
|
| por jurar amor eterno
| for swearing eternal love
|
| no me siento muy maduro,
| I don't feel very mature
|
| pero tampoco estoy tierno
| but i'm not cute either
|
| si algo vale es mi palabra,
| if something is worth it is my word,
|
| y no dudes que te quiero.
| and do not doubt that I love you.
|
| Chaparrita de mi vida,
| shorty of my life,
|
| este amor no fue de un dia,
| this love was not for a day,
|
| siempre me haz quitado el sueño
| you always made me lose sleep
|
| yo no creeo en fantasias
| I do not believe in fantasies
|
| tu estas echa a mi medida,
| you are made to my measure,
|
| y siempre haz tenido dueño.
| and you have always had an owner.
|
| «Oraaaa mi Chaparrita "
| "Pray my Shorty"
|
| Por si acaso te preguntan,
| Just in case they ask you,
|
| di que estas comprometida,
| Say you're engaged
|
| si alguien te falta el respeto
| if someone disrespects you
|
| tiene contados los dias.
| the days are numbered.
|
| Por ti soy capaz de todo,
| For you I'm capable of anything,
|
| ya lo sabes vida mia.
| you already know my life.
|
| Chaparrita de mi vida,
| shorty of my life,
|
| este amor no fue de un dia,
| this love was not for a day,
|
| siempre me haz quitado el sueño
| you always made me lose sleep
|
| yo no creeo en fantasias,
| I do not believe in fantasies,
|
| tu estas echa a mi medida,
| you are made to my measure,
|
| y siempre haz tenido dueño
| and you have always had an owner
