Al corre y corre, ven junto a mí,
Dame el abrazo que te pedí.
Ven, ven, joven querida,
Ven, ven aquí a las flores,
Ven, ven a mis amores,
Ven, ven a hacerme feliz.
Al corre y corre, ven junto a mí,
Dame el besito que te pedí.
Ven, ven, joven querida,
Ven, ven aquí a las flores,
Ven, ven a mis amores,
Ven, ven a hacerme feliz.
When you run and run, come close to me,
Give me the hug I asked you for,
Come, come, darling girl,
Come, come here near the flowers,
Come, come to my love,
Come, come and make me happy.
When you run and run, come close to me,
Give me the kiss I asked you for,
Come, come, darling girl,
Come, come here near the flowers,
Come, come to my love,
Come, come and make me happy.
Thanks!
