Fidel Funes y Su Marimba Orquesta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Porque esta tan solita no le da miedo a usted
Permítame un momento poderme sentar
A un ladito suyo vamos a platicar.
Como se llama en donde vive
Estudia o trabaja yo quisiera saber
Busco una novia y usted me gusta
Perdone señorita yo quisiera saber
Porque tiene miedo no le voy a morder
Busco una novia y usted pudiera ser
Con esa boquita la dueña de mi querer
Como se llama en donde vive
Estudia o trabaja yo quisiera saber
Busco una novia y usted me gusta
Si usted me gusta yo le voy a gustar
Si usted me gusta yo le voy a gustar.
Morena, morena de quince años
Morena, morena de piel así
Pensaba, pensaba enseñarte amores
Y tú me, y tú me enseñaste a mi
Pensaba yo darte un beso y tú me lo diste a mi
Pensaba yo enamorarte y me enamore de ti
Morena, morena de quince años
Morena, morena déjame ver
Tus ojos, tus ojos una semana
Y tu boqui, tu boquita todo el mes
Morena, morena de quince años
Morena, morena déjame ver
Tus ojos, tus ojos una semana
Y tu boqui, tu boquita todo el mes
Pensaba yo darte un beso y tú me lo diste a mi
Pensaba yo enamorarte y me enamore de ti
Morena, morena de quince años
Morena, morena déjame ver
Tus ojos, tus ojos una semana
Y tu boqui, tu boquita todo el mes
Tú sabes bien que yo te quiero
Mi muñequita consentida
Y quieres todo a lo ligero
Y amor ligero pronto se olvida
Tú sabes bien que soy casado
Y nunca te dije mentiras
Y hasta hoy nos esperamos
Porque me vienes con tonterías
No me vengas a decir que no te quiero
Porque no es eso lo que quería
Tú me llevas este amor a lo ligero
Y yo no puedo ni mi vidita mía
In the first paragraph of the song, the singer is approaching a young lady who seems to be alone and expresses his curiosity about why she is single and not afraid. He asks for a moment to sit beside her and have a conversation. He asks about her name, where she lives, and her occupation or studies. He reveals that he is looking for a girlfriend and is interested in getting to know her. He implies that if she likes him, he will reciprocate those feelings.
The second paragraph repeats the singer's interest in getting to know the young lady and reassures her that he won't harm her. He mentions that she has the potential to be the owner of his affection with her pretty mouth. The questions about her name, residence, and occupation/studies are reiterated, emphasizing the singer's interest in pursuing a romantic relationship with her.
The third and fourth paragraphs introduce a different theme in the song, with the singer addressing a "morena" or brunette girl of fifteen years. He expresses his thoughts of teaching her about love, but he confesses that she ended up teaching him instead. He thought of giving her a kiss and falling in love with her, which eventually happened. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes his affection for her and his desire to see her eyes for a week and her mouth for a month.
In the final paragraph, the singer confronts the brunette girl, acknowledging his love for her and expressing that he is a married man who has never lied to her. He implies that they have been waiting for each other until now, but he is frustrated by her tendency to treat love lightly and easily forget it. He states that he can't live without her ("mi vidita mía"), and he is not pleased with her flippant attitude towards their relationship.
Overall, the song depicts a man's attempt to approach a woman, expressing his interest in her and his desire for a romantic relationship. However, it also highlights the complexities of love and the struggles that come with it, including societal expectations and the potential for heartbreak.
