Manzanita

Little apple

Por lo fina y lo bonita,

For being fine and lovely

Por lo fresca y lo chiquita,

for being fresh and tiny,

Que mi cariño te ve,

you've caught my eye's affection.1

Eres una manzanita

You're a little apple,

Tan dulzona y exquisita,

so sugary and exquisite

Que te quisiera morder.

that I want to bite you.

Manzanita, manzanita,

Little apple, little apple

Que a mi corazón incita

that incites my heart

Con sus ancias a querer,

with its desire to love,

Y que tiene el atractivo

and who has the appeal

De que yo nunca recibo

that I've never gotten from anyone else,

Las caricias de su miel.

from its honey, caresses.

Calma mi amor, tengo sed,

Be still my love, I am thirsty,

Dame un poquito de beber,

give me a little to drink,

Que mi esperanza marchita

for my hope is wilting -

Con tu dulzor resucita

with your sweetness it's revived,

Primorosa manzanita

a fine little apple

A quien Dios hizo mujer.

that God has made into a woman.

Manzanita, manzanita,

Little apple, little apple

Que a mi corazón incita

that incites my heart

Con sus ancias a querer,

with its desire to love,

Y que tiene el atractivo

and who has the appeal

De que yo nunca recibo

that I've never gotten from anyone else,

Las caricias de su miel.

from its honey, caresses.

Calma mi amor amor, tengo sed,

Be still my love, love, I am thirsty,

Dame de ti de beber

give me a little to drink,

Que mi esperanza marchita

for my hope is wilting -

Con tu dulzor resucita

with your sweetness it's revived,

Primorosa manzanita

a fine little apple

A quien Dios hizo mujer.

that God has made into a woman.
