Traigo herido el corazon,
por la flecha de cupido,
ay amor como eres lindo.
aunque sangre el corazón.

En la punta de un pirul
canturreaba un pajarillo,
un amor, cuando es fingido.

ni es bonito ni es amor

Arre, arre, arre,
arre, caballito, arre,
que voy de prisa,
ya es tardecito

Arre, arre, arre,
ya llegué al pueblito,
arre, arrejúntate prieta
que estoy sólito

Por un llano me encontré
una blanca palomita,
y me dijo agachadita
no le atores al amor.

En amor y en interés
no hay pariente ni hay amigo,
y el que vive prevenido
nunca sufre decepción

Arre, arre, arre,
arre, caballito, arre,
que voy de prisa,
ya es tardecito

Arre, arre, arre,
ya llegué al pueblito,
arre, arrejúntate prieta
que estoy sólito

Nadie presta su atención
a lo que otro ha sucedido,
hasta que se ve perdido
en los mares del dolor,

Aunque tenga que llorar
este amor me tra sin tino,
si llorar es mi destino
es que asi lo quiso Dios.

Arre, arre, arre,
arre, caballito, arre,
que voy de prisa,
ya es tardecito

Arre, arre, arre,
ya llegué al pueblito,

arre, arrejúntate prieta
que estoy sólito

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pedro Infante's song "Arre... Júntate Prietita" express the pain and uncertainty of love. The first few lines describe a wounded heart pierced by Cupid's arrow, emphasizing the beauty of love despite its potential to hurt. The song continues with a story of a bird singing on the top of a tree, which reminds the singer of the complexities of love. He reflects on how love can be false or hurtful, but eventually affirms that it is worth the trouble.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "arre, arre, arre" which is a common command given to horses in Mexico, urging them to move forward. In this context, it represents the singer's desire to move forward in his journey of love, despite the obstacles he may face. He has arrived in a small town and is alone, but seeks the company of his "prietita" or little dark-skinned girl. He reflects on the fickle nature of love, noting that it is often difficult to distinguish between genuine love and shallow desires, and laments that people only pay attention to the pain of love after it is too late to do anything about it.
