Estribillo
Con el vito vito vito
con el vito vito va.
Con el vito vito vito
con el vito vito va.
Yo no quiero que me miren
que me pongo colorá.
Yo no quiero que me miren
que me pongo colorá.
No me mires a la cara
que me pongo colorá
Yo no quiero que me mires
que me vas a enamorar.
Una malagueña fue a
Sevilla a ver los toros.
Y en la mitad del camino
la cautivaron los moros.
Las solteras son de oro
las casadas son de plata.
Las viuditas son de cobre
y las viejas de hojalata.
Chorus
With the vito, vito, vito,
With the vito, vito, it goes.
With the vito, vito, vito,
With the vito, vito, it goes.
I don't want them to look at me
Because I blush.
I don't want them to look at me
Because I blush.
Don't look straight at my face
Because I blush.
I don't want you to look at me
Because I'm going to fall in love.
A lady from Malaga went to
Seville to see the bulls
And halfway there
The Moors captured her.
Single ladies are gold
Married ladies are silver
The widows are copper
And old ladies are tin.
