Dicen que mañana, mamita, mañana se va
They say that tomorrow, my dear, tomorrow he leaves
Dicen que mañana, mamita, mañana se va
They say that tomorrow, my dear, tomorrow he leaves
Pero no me ha dicho, mamita, cuando volverá
But he hasn't told me, my dear, when he'll return
Pero no me ha dicho, mamita, cuando volverá
But he hasn't told me, my dear, when he'll return
Río de la corriente, mamita, déjame pasar
River of the current, my dear, let me pass
Río de la corriente, mamita, déjame pasar
River of the current, my dear, let me pass
Porque mi madre enferma, mamita, me mandó a llamar
Because my sick mother, my dear, called for me
Porque mi madre enferma, mamita, me mandó a llamar
Because my sick mother, my dear, called for me
Dicen que mañana, mamita, mañana se va
They say that tomorrow, my dear, tomorrow he leaves
Dicen que mañana, mamita, mañana se va
They say that tomorrow, my dear, tomorrow he leaves
Pero no me ha dicho, mamita, cuando volverá
But she hasn't told me, baby, when she'll return
Pero no me ha dicho, mamita, cuando volverá
But she hasn't told me, baby, when she'll return
Pero no me ha dicho, mamita, cuando volverá
But she hasn't told me, baby, when she'll return
