A pedir su mano

Voy a pedir su manoal amor hay que dar de bebervoy a cortar un ramo de nubespara mojar su querervoy a bajar por los yayalesen una yagua de tulvoy a pintar los manatialescon óleos de cielo azulVoy a prender tu cariñitocomo cocuyo en el mary voy a hacerte un traje e noviacon hojas del platanal

Viene a pedir mi mano, vienevamo a sonar unos palospa que me quiera por siempreQue su amor sea verdadero, ¡oh!pa que me quiera, ¡ay!Viene a pedir mi mano, vienevamo a sonar unos palospa que me quiera por siempre

Pa yo prender mi luceropa que me quiera, ¡ay!viene a pedir mi mano, vieneY cuando tenga tu permisovoy a volar norte a surpara buscar arriba el pinoel nido que quieras túVoy a prender tu cariñitocomo cocuyo en el mary voy a hacerte un traje e noviacon hojas del platanalY acariciarte en la mañanay arroparte con el soly desvestir a los guandulespa alimentar el amorViene a pedir mi mano, vienevamo a sonar unos palospa que me quiera por siempreQue su amor sea verdadero, oh!pa que me quiera, ¡ay!Viene a pedir mi mano, vienevamo a sonar unos palospa que me quiera por siemprePa yo prender mi luceropa que me quiera, ¡ay!viene a pedir mi mano, viene¡oye!

To ask for her hand

I'm going to ask for her hand,as love needs to be fed,I'm going to cut a bunch of cloudsto soak her love,I'm going to go down the villageriding a silk palmI'm going to paint the springswith sky blue oils,I'm going to light your affectionlike a firefly in the seaand I'm going to make you a bridal gownwith banana leaves

He's coming to ask for my hand, he's cominglet's play some sticksso that he loves me forever,so that his love is true, oh!so that he loves me!He's coming to ask for my hand, he's cominglet's play some sticksso that he loves me forever

so that I can be happy (?)so that he loves me!he's coming to ask for my hand, he's comingAnd when I have your permissionI'm going to fly north to southto search, on top of the pine tree,the nest that you wantI'm going to light your affectionlike a firefly in the seaand I'm going to make you a bridal gownwith banana leavesAnd caress you in the morningand tuck you with the sunand undress the berry shrubsso as to feed our loveHe's coming to ask for my hand, he's comingLet's play some sticksso that he loves me foreverso that his loves is true, oh!so that he loves me!He's coming to ask for my hand, he's comingLet's play some sticksso that he loves me foreverSo that I can be happyso that he loves me!He's coming to ask for my hand,hear it!
