written by Rubén Fuentes Mariquita se llamaba La que vive junto al río Tápame con tu rebozo Que ya me muero de frío Si porque me la llevé Su mamá se me enojo; * Ahora que me lleve a mi A ver si me enojo yo Mariquita dame un beso Tu mamá me lo mandó Mi mamá mandará a mi * Pero es mi boquita yo * La Mariquita (Lady Bug) Mariquita she was called The girl that lives by the river Cover me with your shawl Because I am dying of cold Because I took her away Her mother was mad at me Now that she is the one who takes me away Let's see if I get mad at her Give me a kiss Mariquita Your mother has ordered me to do so My mother can give me orders But she can't tell me who to kiss Trio Voices- Linda Ronstadt, Mike Ronstadt, Pete Ronstadt © 1991 Normal Music (BMI)
