Mariquita se llamaba
La que vive junto al rio
Tápame con tu rebozo
Que ya me muero de frio
Si porque me la lleve
Su mama se me enojocaute
Ahora que me lleve a mi
A ver si me enojo yo
Mariquita dame un beso
Tu mama me lo mando
Mi mama mandara en mi
Pero en mi boquita yo
Mariquita she was called
The girl that lives by the river
Cover me with your shawl
Because I am dying of cold
Because I took her away
Her mother was mad at me
Now that she is the one who takes me away
Let's see if I get mad at her
Give me a kiss mariquita
Your mother has ordered me to do so
My mother can give me orders
But she can't tell me who to kiss
