La Chaparrita
Fariseo Norteño
The Shorty
I'm looking for a shorty
That I haven't seen in over a month
I hope to find her washing
Over there on the riverbanks
And if she's not by the river
I'll have to go to her house
This life is a martyrdom for me
I can't live without seeing her
Shorty, I carry you in my mind
I never forget you for a moment
It corresponds to the love I have for you
I beg you, my life
And if I happen to find her
I'll try to seek her affections
Even if I have to crawl
Or cry like men cry
Shorty, I carry you in my mind
I never forget you for a moment
It corresponds to the love I have for you
I beg you, my life
