Margarita Margarita
No me subes tan arriba
Que las ojas en el arbola
No duran toda la vida

Ay que lastima, ay que lastima,
Ay que lastima me da
De ver a margarita
Que llorando esta

Te voy a compra chinela
Y un vestido muy bonita
Para que bailes la polka
Al estilo tlacuachito

Ay que lastima, ay que lastima,
Ay que lastima me da
De ver a margarita
Que llorando esta

Desde aqui te estoy mirando
Cara a cara frente a frente
Pero no eres pa decirme
Chiquitito vente vente

Ay que lastima, ay que lastima,
Ay que lastima me da




De ver a margarita
Que llorando esta

Overall Meaning

The song "Margarita" by Los Alegres De Teran is a lament for Margarita, a woman who is crying and unhappy. The song opens with the lines "Margarita Margarita / No me subes tan arriba / Que las ojas en el arbola / No duran toda la vida" which can be translated to "Margarita Margarita / Don't take me too high / Because the leaves on the tree / Don't last forever". These lines suggest that the singer is warning Margarita not to take advantage of him, as he is reminding her that nothing lasts forever. He requests her not to make him too happy.


The singer goes on to express his sympathy for Margarita as she cries, saying "Ay que lastima, ay que lastima, / Ay que lastima me da / De ver a margarita / Que llorando esta" which can be translated to "Oh, what a shame, oh, what a shame / Oh, what a shame it is to see Margarita crying". He promises to buy Margarita a dress and shoes so that she can dance, but despite this, her unhappiness persists. The song concludes with the lines "Desde aqui te estoy mirando / Cara a cara frente a frente / Pero no eres pa decirme / Chiquitito vente vente" which mean "I'm looking at you from here / Face to face / But you're not coming to me / Little one come come". This suggests that Margarita is distant from the singer despite being in close proximity, which adds to the melancholy tone of the song.
