El Venadito

I'm a poor little deer
That lives in the mountains
I'm a poor little deer
That lives in the mountains
Since I'm not so tame
I don't go down to the water by day
Little by little at night
And in your arms, my life

I told a very pretty girl
That if she washed my cloth
I told a very pretty girl
That if she washed my cloth
The damn girl replied
If you want, I'll even bathe you
Just come early
Because late is harmful
Aaajjaii

I already have seen the cactus
Where I will cut the prickly pear
I already have seen the cactus
Where I will cut the prickly pear
Since I'm a formal man
I don't like to have just one
I like to have two
In case one of them gets angry

I wish to be a fine pearl
In your shiny earrings
I wish to be a fine pearl
In your shiny earrings
To give you little kisses and
Bite your cheeks
Who told you to be beautiful
This commits me

I will make a sale and
A great realization
I will make a sale and
A great realization
The old ladies for a penny
The young girls for a dime
The sons-in-law for six cents
And the mothers-in-law for free

I bid you farewell with this
But I'll be back soon
I bid you farewell with this
But I'll be back soon
Just may God save me from
A dead fly girl
Those who, oh my, don't even go out the door
Ay, ay, aaay
