Lila Downs "El venadito" lyrics

Translation to:en

El venadito

Soy un pobre venaditoQue habito en la serraníaComo no soy tan mansitoNo bajo al agua de díaDe noche poco a poquitoY a tus brazos vida mia

Ya tengo listo el nopalDonde' de cortar la tunaYa tengo listo el nopalDonde' de cortar la tunaComo soy hombre formalNo me gusta tener unaMe gusta tener de a dosPor si se me'noja alguna

Quisiera ser perla finaDe tus lucidos aretesQuisiera ser perla finaDe tus lucidos aretesPa'besarte la orejitaY morderte los cachetesQuién te manda ser bonitaSi esto a mi me compromete

Quisiera ser perla....

Ya con esta me despidoPero pronto doy la vueltaYa con esta me despidoPero pronto doy la vueltaNo'más que me libre diosDe una niña mosca muertaDe esas que, ¡ayMamá por Dios!Que no salen a la puerta.

The little deer

I'm a poor little deerthat lives in the highlands,since I am not very mildI don't go to the river at daytime,but at night, little by little,and to your arms, my love.

I have ready the 'nopal' 1.where I have to cut the 'tuna'.2.I have ready the nopalwhere I have to cut the tuna'Since I am a thoughtful man,I don't like to have just oneI prefer to go by twosin case one of them gets mad.

I would like to be a fine pearlin your brilliant ear rings.I would like to be a fine pearlin your brilliant ear rings,so I would kiss you in the ears.and I would bite your cheeks.Who asked you to be so prettyif this compromises me?

I would like to be ... (repeats)

And with this I say good-byebut I'll return pretty soon.And with this I say good-byebut I'll return pretty soon.I just wish that God keeps mefrom a two face phony girl,One of those that, ohmy God, mom!don't come out to the door!
