Bonito Pinotepa
Beautiful Pinotepa
No soy coplero y te estoy cantando
I'm no bard, but I'm singing for you
Porque nació en tu suelo
Because she was born on your soil
La morenita que estoy amando
The brown-skinned girl that I'm loving
Bonito Pinotepa
Beautiful Pinotepa
No soy coplero y te estoy cantando
I'm no bard, but I'm singing for you
Porque nació en tu suelo
Because she was born on your soil
La morenita que estoy amando
The brown-skinned girl that I'm loving
Me gustan tus mujeres
I like your women
Por eso aunque no sepas
That's why even if you don't know
Yo seguiré cantando
I will keep on singing
Viva la costa con Pinotepa
Long live the coast with Pinotepa
Me gustan tus mujeres
I like your women
Por eso aunque no sepas
That's why even if you don't know
Yo seguiré cantando
I will keep on singing
Viva la costa con Pinotepa
Long live the coast with Pinotepa
Con tu alma provinciana
With your provincial soul
Eres sultana de Costa Chica
You are the sultana of Costa Chica
Con tus verdes plameras
With your green palm trees
Eres playera y eres bonita
You are beachy and you are lovely
Con tu alma provinciana
With your provincial soul
Eres sultana de Costa Chica
You are the sultana of Costa Chica
Con tus verdes plameras
With your green palm trees
Eres playera y eres bonita
You are beachy and you're beautiful
Me gustan tus mujeres
I love your women
Por eso aunque no sepan

Yo seguiré cantando

Viva la costa con Pinotepa
Long live the coast with Pinotepa
Pasando Tlacamama
Passing Tlacamama
Una paloma dijo a mi oído
A dove whispered in my ear
Si vas a Pinotepa
If you go to Pinotepa
Verás qué flechas tiró Cupido
You’ll see what arrows Cupid shot
Pasando Tlacamama
Passing Tlacamama
Una paloma dijo a mi oído

Si vas a Pinotepa
If you go to Pinotepa
Veras qué flechas tiró Cupido

Beautiful Pinotepa
No soy coplero y me voy cantando
I'm not a poet, but I'm leaving singing
Ahí dejo mi chilena pa'la morena
There I leave my song for the brown girl
Que estoy amando
That I'm loving
