El Venadito

I'm a poor little deer
Living in the mountains
I'm a poor little deer
Living 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 yes
If you want, I'll even bathe you
Just come early
Because late is harmful

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, no
I don't like to have just one
I like to have two
In case one gets mad at me

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 so pretty
And this commits me

I'm going to make a deck of cards
And a great realization
I'm going to make a deck of cards
And a great realization

The old ladies for a penny, the
Girls for a nickel
The sons-in-law for six cents
And the mothers-in-law for a pound

I bid farewell with this
But I'll be back soon
I bid farewell with this
But I'll be back soon

Just may God save me from
A dead fly girl
Those that, oh my God, exist
But come out the door
