Malagueña
José Feliciano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Que bonitos ojos tienes
debajo de esas dos cejas
debajo de esas dos cejas
que bonitos ojos tienes.

Ellos me quieren mirar
pero si tu no los dejas
pero si tu no los dejas
ni siquiera parpadear
malagueña salerosa.

Besar tus labios quisiera
besar tus labios quisiera
malagueña salerosa,
y decirte niña hermosa.

Que eres linda y hechicera
Que eres linda y hechicera
como el candor de una rosa
como el candor de una rosa

Con tus ojos me anunciavas
que me amavas etiernamente
que me amavas etiernamente
Con tus ojos me anunciavas

Ingrata me traicionava
quando de ti estaba alcente
quando de ti estaba alcente
de mi pación me burlaba.

Besar tus labios quisiera
besar tus labios quisiera
malagueña salerosa
y decirte niña hermosa.

Que eres linda y hechicera
Que eres linda y hechicera




como el candor de una rosa
como el candor de una rosa
