Píntame
Paint me
Le dije yo al pintor
I told the painter
Píntame la carita
Paint me the little face
De la niña más bonita
Of the prettiest girl
Dentro de mi corazón
Inside my heart
Pinta, pinta
Paint, paint
Pinta su carita
Paint her little face
Que sin su carita
Because without her little face
Hoy me muero yo
Today I'm dying
¡Cógelo!
Grab it!
Llévatela, llévatela
Take her, take her
Quiero su carita
I want her little face
Pintada en mi corazón
Painted in my heart
Y le dije al pintor
And I told the painter
Que no se pueda borrar
That it can’t be erased
Quiero su carita
I want her little face
Pintada en mi corazón
Painted in my heart
Y le dije al pintor
And I told the painter
Que no se pueda borrar
That it can’t be erased
Píntame su nariz
Paint me her nose
Para respirar su aire
So I can breathe her air
Píntame su boquita
Paint me her little mouth
Para yo poder besarle
So I can kiss her
Píntame sus ojitos
Paint me her little eyes
Para que me puedan mirar
So they can look at me
Píntame su carita
Paint me her little face
Y su carita, ay, su carita
And her little face, oh, her little face
Y que no se pueda borrar
And that it can't be erased
(Pinta) Píntame su carita
(Paint) Paint me her little face
Que yo quiero sentir
Because I want to feel
Su carita en mi corazón
Her little face in my heart
O si no yo no puedo vivir
Or else I can't live
Ay, pinta, píntame
Oh, paint, paint me
Ay, píntamelo otra vez
Oh, paint it again for me
Que sin esa niña
Because without that girl
Ay, yo me moriré
Oh, I will die
(Pinta, pinta su carita)
(Paint, paint her little face)
Ay, sin su carita
Oh, without her little face
Hoy me muero yo
Today I'm dying
Llora, llora
Cry, cry
Y píntamela, uoh
And paint it for me, uoh
Ah
Ah
Aprieta
Squeeze
Aprieta, apriétala
Squeeze, squeeze it
Quiero su carita
I want her little face
Pintada en mi corazón
Painted in my heart
Y le dije al pintor
And I told the painter
Que no se pueda borrar
That it can’t be erased
Quiero su carita
I want her little face
Pintada en mi corazón
Painted in my heart
Y le dije al pintor
And I told the painter
Que no se pueda borrar
That it can’t be erased
Píntame su nariz
Paint me her nose
Para respirar su aire
So I can breathe her air
Píntame su boquita
Paint me her little mouth
Para yo poder besarle
So I can kiss her
Píntame sus ojitos
Paint me her little eyes
Para que me puedan mirar
So they can look at me
Píntame su carita
Paint me her little face
Su carita, su carita
Her little face, her little face
Y que no se pueda borrar
And that it can't be erased
(Pinta) Píntame su carita
(Paint) Paint me her little face
(Pinta) Que yo quiero sentir
