La Marieta

Marieta, don't be flirtatious
Because men are very bad
They promise many gifts
And what they give are just sticks

Her mom said to Marieta:
Stop the pretense, let your hair and dress grow
Because the woman who wears such a short dress
When she bends down, looks very pretty

Marieta, don't be flirtatious
Because men are very bad
They promise many gifts
And what they give are just sticks

Marieta went on an errand
That her mom entrusted to her
But while at the market
She met her boyfriend

When she returned home
Her mom scolded her
Because a fifth of the errand
Was lost in the street

Poor Marieta
Her apron caught fire
And if she doesn't put it out soon
She'll get burned

Marieta went to the bullfight
Her mom didn't know
Because she was flirting
With the cavalrymen

Marieta, don't be flirtatious
Because men are very bad
They promise many gifts
And what they give are just sticks
