Voy a pedir su mano
I'm going to ask for your hand
Al amor hay que dar de beber
Love must be given to drinking
Voy a cortar un ramo e nubes
I'm going to cut a bouquet and clouds
Para mojar su querer
To wet your want
Voy a bajar por los yayales
I'm going down the yayales
En una yagua de tul
In a tul yagua
Voy a pintar los manatiales
I'm going to paint the manatials
Con óleos de cielo azul
With blue sky oil
Voy a prender tu cariñito
I'm going to light your little darling
Como cocuyo en el mar
As a cocuyo at sea
Y voy a hacerte un traje e novia
And I'm going to make you a suit and a girlfriend
Con hojas del platanal
With banana leaves
Viene a pedir mi mano, viene
He comes to ask for my hand, he comes
Vamo a sonar unos palos
We're going to sound like sticks
Pa que me quiera por siempre
Pa who loves me forever
Que su amor sea verdadero
May your love be true
Pa que me quiera, ¡ay!
Pa love me, oh!
Viene a pedir mi mano, viene
He comes to ask for my hand, he comes
Vamo a sonar unos palos

Pa que me quiera por siempre
Pa who loves me forever
Pa yo prender mi lucero
Pa me turn on my skylight
Pa que me quiera, ¡ay!
Pa love me, oh!
Viene a pedir mi mano, viene
He comes to ask for my hand, he comes
Y cuando tenga tu permiso
And when I have your permission
Voy a volar Norte a Sur
I'm going to fly North to South
Para buscar arriba el pino
To look up the pine
El nido que quieras tú
The nest you want
Voy a prender tu cariñito
I'm going to light your little darling
Como cocuyo en el mar
As a cocuyo at sea
Y voy a hacerte un traje e novia
And I'm going to make you a suit and a girlfriend
Con hojas del platanal
With banana leaves
Y acariciarte en la mañana
And caress you in the morning
Y arroparte con el sol
And tuck in the sun
Y desvestir a los guandules
And undress the guandules
Pa alimentar el amor
To feed love
Viene a pedir mi mano, viene
