Give Me a Hand, Cousin

A love letter
I received yesterday afternoon
In which my boyfriend says
He's coming tonight
It's been more than twenty days
Cousin, since I last saw him
I have to look pretty
And my nerves won't let me
I comb my hair in a thousand ways
And none look good on me
I've tried on all the dresses
And I don't know which one to choose
Come, cousin, and advise me
Please help me.

All night awake
Cousin, what's wrong with him
Thinking about that sailor
Who has captivated my life
And in the laughter of his hair
And his blue little eyes
Oh, blue like the sky
The murmur of the waves
Is in the echo of his voice
The air of the bay
The perfume of his love
His boat is very close
My heart tells me.

(chorus)
Give me a hand, cousin
My boyfriend is coming to see me
I'm so nervous that
I don't know what dress to wear
Give me a hand, cousin
My boyfriend is coming to see me
I'm so nervous that
I don't know what dress to wear
Give me a hand, cousin
My boyfriend is coming to see me
I'm so nervous that
I don't know what dress to wear
Give me a hand, cousin
My boyfriend is coming to see me
I'm so nervous that
I don't know what dress to wear.
