Listen to me, dark-haired girl
Óyeme morena
Don't get so furious
No te pongas tan rabiosa
Because that's not how things are
Porque así no son las cosas
For a beautiful woman
Para una mujer bonita
Look, I want
Mira que yo quiero
That your grandma doesn't know
Que tu abuela no lo sepa
Because if you go to the party
Porque si vas a la fiesta
It's for you to enjoy alone
Es para que goces sólita
I want to party in Villanueva
Quiero parrandear en Villanueva
With a fiery dark-haired girl
Con una morena bien candela
I want to party in Villanueva
Quiero parrandear en Villanueva
With a fiery dark-haired girl
Con una morena bien candela
But if you turn out to be a party girl
Pero si me sales parrandera
Oh maybe
Ay quizás
The scissors will cut you
Te va cortar la tijera
The scissors will cut you
Te va cortar la tijera
The scissors will cut you
Te va cortar la tijera
The scissors will cut you, dark-haired girl
Te va cortar la tijera morena
If you turn out to be a party girl
Si me sales parrandera
I had a sorrow
Yo tenía una pena
But now it's gone
Pero ya se me ha quitado
Because I'm in love
Porque estoy enamorado
With a good young girl
De una muchachita buena
It's the opposite
Es de lo contrario
Of what I imagined
De lo que me imaginaba
Because there where you dance
Porque allí donde tu bailas
You'll leave a great rosary
Dejarás un gran rosario
But if you turn out to be a party girl
Pero si me sales parrandera
Tell your grandma not to see
Dile a tu abuelita que no vea
But if you turn out to be a party girl
Pero si me sales parrandera
Tell your grandma not to see
Dile a tu abuelita que no vea
Because if not, she'll stumble
Porque si no cae se tambalea
And maybe
Y quizás
The scissors will cut you
Te va cortar la tijera
The scissors will cut you
Te va cortar la tijera
The scissors will cut you
Te va cortar la tijera
The scissors will cut you, dark-haired girl
Te va cortar la tijera morena
If you turn out to be a party girl
Si me sales parrandera
