Óyeme morena
Listen to me, dark-haired girl
No te pongas tan rabiosa
Don't get so furious
Porque así no son las cosas
Because that's not how things are
Para una mujer bonita

Mira que yo quiero

Que tu abuela no lo sepa

Es para que goces sólita

Con una morena bien candela

Pero si me sales parrandera

Yo tenía una pena
I had a sorrow
Pero ya se me ha quitado
But now it's gone
Porque estoy enamorado
Because I'm in love
De una muchachita buena
With a good young girl
Es de lo contrario
It's the opposite
De lo que me imaginaba
Of what I imagined
Porque allí donde tu bailas
Because there where you dance
Dejarás un gran rosario
You'll leave a great rosary
Pero si me sales parrandera
But if you turn out to be a party girl
Dile a tu abuelita que no vea
Tell your grandma not to see
Pero si me sales parrandera
But if you turn out to be a party girl
Dile a tu abuelita que no vea

Porque si no cae se tambalea
Because if not, she'll stumble
Y quizás
And maybe
Te va cortar la tijera
