Maria Mercedes pa' servirle a usted
Maria Mercedes at your service
De mi familia me encargo yo
I take care of my family
Mi madre nos abandonó
My mother left us
Porque mi padre jamás cumplio
Because my father never came through
Maria Mercedes pa' servirle a usted
Maria Mercedes at your service
Un buen día mi son cambio
One good day, my luck changed
Compró un cachito y me conoció
She bought a little piece and met me
Y al morir un montón me heredó
And upon dying, left me a whole lot
Maria Mercedes pa' servirle a usted
Maria Mercedes at your service
Que rico son el que bailo yo
How nice is the one I dance with
El baile que alivia cualquier dolor
The dance that eases any pain
Su ritmo calienta mi corazón
Its rhythm warms my heart
Maria Mercedes
Maria Mercedes
La vida te premiara, tu ya lo verás
Life will reward you, you will see it soon
Maria Mercedes
Maria Mercedes
Tu amor te correspondera
Your love will be returned to you
Maria Mercedes...
Maria Mercedes...
Mi felicidad el dinero no compró
My happiness money did not buy
Pues al hombre que amo no lo tengo yo...
For the man I love I do not have...
Maria Mercedes... Maria Mercedes...
Maria Mercedes... Maria Mercedes...
Maria Mercedes pa' servirle a usted
Maria Mercedes, here to serve you
Que rico son el que bailo yo
How rich is the one that I dance to
El baile que alivia cualquier dolor
The dance that eases any pain
Su ritmo calienta mi corazón
Its rhythm warms my heart
Maria Mercedes... Maria Mercedes...
Maria Mercedes... Maria Mercedes...
Maria Mercedes... Maria Mercedes...
Maria Mercedes... Maria Mercedes...
Si señor
Yes, sir
