Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tienes hollo no tengo duda
Herlinda tu eres muy bonita
Tienes hollo no tengo duda
Que hasta las flores del campo
Se gozan con tu hermosura
Herlinda tu eres muy bonita
Tienes hollo no tengo duda
Tienes hollo no tengo duda
Ay Herlinda, por Dios no me mates
Y tampoco me hagas suspirar
Porque tu eres la joven que adoro
Y a otra joven no voy a adorar
Porque tu eres la joven que adoro
Y a otra joven no voy a adorar
Herlindita se paseaba
En los campos del amor
Herlindita se paseaba
En los campos del amor
Y a todos les regalaba de su cabeza una flor
De su cabeza una flor
Y a mi no me daba nada
De su cabeza una flor
Y a mi no me daba nada
Ay Herlinda, por Dios no me mates
Y tampoco me hagas padecer
Porque tu eres la joven que adoro
Y a otra joven no voy a querer
Porque tu eres la joven que adoro
Y a otra joven no voy a querer
Ay Herlinda, por Dios no me mates
Y tampoco me hagas suspirar
Porque tu eres la joven que adoro
Y a otra joven no voy a adorar
Porque tu eres la joven que adoro
Y a otra joven no voy a adorar
The lyrics of Los Cojolites's song "La Herlinda" depict a deep admiration for a beautiful young woman named Herlinda. The repetition of the phrase "Herlinda tu eres muy bonita, tienes hollo no tengo duda" emphasizes her beauty, with her "hollo" likely referring to her physical features, such as her curves or figure. The singer pleads with Herlinda not to "kill" him or make him suffer by not reciprocating his love, as he has already decided that she is the only woman he wants to adore. The final verse tells of Herlinda's habit of giving everyone a flower from her head except for the singer, further highlighting the singer's unrequited love for her.
