Ay, dile si bien me quiere

Ay, dile si bien me quiere

Lyrics

Ay dile
si  bien me quiere
que me traiga la mula
y que me lleve

que llueva lo menudito
y yo me mojare
mas por calles del novio
yo andare

Translation

Oh, tell him
if he loves me
to bring me the mule
and take me away

let it rain lightly
and I will get wet
through the streets of my beloved
I will walk
