Manuela

Manuela, what a woman that one!
with big eyes and long black hair and a guitar-shaped figure
that must be admired!
Manuela, oh, what a beautiful woman!
with a flirtatious laugh and a tiny waist and legs, criminal!
What a sensual figure!
Everywhere they repeated that name
men lost sleep in front of such perfection.

The other women looked at her and asked out of envy,
--'what does she have that I don't?'--

But Manuela,
like a panther, she walked on every corner of that neighborhood
leaving bits of illusion
of those who loved her.

And it's that Manuela has no problems.
Youth screams in her skin,
she is only faithful to life;
she has no schedule, no duty; she has no sorrows.
And every man who meets her, admiringly, laments,
--'What I wouldn't give to have Manuela'! --(repeat)

Oh my God, what I wouldn't give for Manuela's love!

Oh, what I wouldn't give, oh, what I wouldn't give to have her
I have a crush on her and she drives me crazy
she has me all messed up

Chorus
Oh, what I wouldn't give for Manuela's love
She has a very nice walk
kind of sideways
with a panther's sway

Chorus
I will be your tamer, beautiful woman
Mamacita come here to teach you
how to love yourself!

Chorus
With criminal legs, what a sensual figure
that brunette is beautiful!

Chorus
I want to play her guitar-shaped figure
oh! buddy, that good Manuela!

Chorus
Look, I have a crush on her that I don't care
if she brings even her mother-in-law

Chorus
But Manuela, what, Manuela, what, Manuela, what...
all the women wonder!

Chorus
What I wouldn't give,
even the paycheck of the fortnight!

Chorus
In the morning, in the afternoon, and at night
on the corner, this is the topic!!

Chorus
Manuelita, look over here!
Currucutá cutá!
Look mommy, look over here oh mommy! oh how pretty! Not Manuela!

Chorus
Water! Water!

Chorus
Throw a flower to Manuela, Leopoldo...

Chorus
But what I wouldn't give, but what I wouldn't give ahe!!
what I wouldn't give for her!

Chorus
Whoever had a love like you
whoever had, gentlemen
a girl so good like that!

Chorus
All my sorrow and all my problems end for me

Chorus
Oh, Manuela Pere' Manuela Pere' Manuela Pere'...
she's the envy of the women!

Chorus
Let her give me whatever role she wants
but let her support me, to work
on her novel!

Chorus
I have a crush on her and she drives me crazy
she has me all messed up!

Chorus
Here in the neighborhood there's A BLACKBERRY!
Manuela is the one they adore!

Chorus
Oh, what I wouldn't give, oh, what I wouldn't give,
I to have her
Oh, what I wouldn't give for Manuela's love...
