Juan Luis Guerra - La Hormiguita (English Translation) lyrics

rate me

I met her one afternoon,

as she hunted songs with her guitar.

She was wearing jeans

and a little yellow rose in her hair.

¿What are you going to do?

She asked, smiling.

`Whatever you want`, I replied;

we went to the seaside and soaked our dreams.

I winked my eyes and a dolphin

painted a curly wave on her chest.

And then I laughed& and we broke the ice;

we bit our fingers

like a viola (the tenor violin) in a cello solo.

You are like a tiny ant

who kisses and bites me,

who runs up my back

& lies down on my beard

to study geography.

You are like a trapezist

That crosses my tongue;

and your circus of flowers

carries me and lets me loose

loosing count,

loosing count,

you are&

And I felt like crying,

but only in my right eye.

She spoke of the moon and Chopin,

while I played Prelude to a Kiss.

And then I laughed&and we broke the ice;

we bit our fingers

like a viola (the tenor violin) in a cello solo.

You are like a tiny ant

who kisses and bites me,

who runs up my back

& lies down on my beard

to study geography.

You are like a trapezist

That crosses my tongue;

and your circus of flowers

carries me and lets me loose

loosing count,

loosing count,

you are&
