by Maria Grever (1885 - 1951)

Qué bonita
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG
Con esa Chamaca me quiero casar
Y por más que la miro no le puedo hablar
porque a todas partes va con la mamá.
Un día de pasada, fingiendo un tropiezo
Me acerqué a su cara y le planté un beso
Al principio asustada quedó,
pero al fin me besó.

Qué bonita, Qué chiquita
La boquita de mi chamaquita,
Qué bonita, Qué preciosa,
Nunca he visto mujer más preciosa.
Yo quisiera volverla a besar
Pero tengo miedo
De que pueda vernos la mamá
Ya haya una explosión
Y entre pitos y flautas me voy a quedar
Sin mi chamaquita
Y sin su carita
Sin esa boquita chiquita y bonita
Que quiero besar.
