Maria Bonita
Agustín Lara
Beautiful Maria
Remember Acapulco
Those nights
Beautiful Maria, Maria of the soul
Remember that on the beach
With your little hands the little stars
You rinsed them
Your body, a toy ship adrift from the sea
The waves came and rocked it
And while I watched you
I say it with feeling
My thoughts betrayed me
I told you many of those pretty words
With which hearts are lulled
Asking you to love me
To turn into realities
My illusions
The moon that was watching us
Had been there for a while
She pretended not to notice
And when I saw her hiding
I knelt to kiss you
And thus give you all my life
You may have had many loves
Beautiful Maria, Maria of the soul
But none as good, nor as honest
As the one you made sprout in me
I bring it full of flowers
To leave it as an offering
Under your feet
Receive it excited
And swear to me you don't lie
Because you feel idolized
