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 tu no los dejas
Ni si quiera parpadear

Malagueña Salerosa

Besar tus labios quisiera
Malagueña salerosa
Y decirte niña hermosa
Eres linda y hechicera
Como el Canto de una Rosa

Si por pobre me desprecias
Yo te concedo razón
Yo te concedo razón
Si por pobre me desprecias

Yo no te ofrezco riquezas
Solo te ofrezco mi corazón
A cambio de mi pobreza
Malagueña Salerosa

Besar tus labios quisiera
Malagueña salerosa
Y decirte niña hermosa
Eres linda y hechicera
Como el Canto de una Rosa

Como el canto de una rosa
