Cuando sali de la habana, valgame diosNadie me ha visto salir sino fui yoY una linda guachinanga como una florSe vino detras de mi, que si señor
Si a tu ventana llega una palomaTratala con cariño que es mi personaCuéntale tus amores bien de mi vidaCorónala de flores que es cosa miaAy chinita que si, ay que dame tu amorAy que vente conmigo chinitaA donde vivo yo
Ay chinita que si, ay que dame tu amorAy que vente conmigo chinitaA donde vivo yo
When I left Havana, Goodness graciousNo one saw me leave but myselfAnd a pretty clever girl, like a flower (1)Came after me, yes sir..
If a dove comes to your windowTreat her with affection, for she is my ownTell her well of the loves in your lifeAnd Crown her with flowers, for she is mineOh yes, little pebble, give me your love (2)Oh come with me, little ladybugTo where I live
Ah Chinita, that's right, give me your loveOh come with me, little girlTo wherever is my home
