María Mercedes [English translation]

(My name is) María Mercedes, at your service

I take care of my family

My mother abandoned us

Because my father never did right

María Mercedes, at your service

One good day my tune changed

[He] bought a lottery ticket and acquainted himself with me

And when he died, he left me a great inheritance

María Mercedes, at your service

What a delicious music I dance to

The dance that assuages any pain

Its rhythm warms my heart

("María Mercedes

Life will reward you,

you'll see

María Mercedes

The one you love will love you back,

María Mercedes...")

My happiness I could not purchase with money

Since I do not have the man I love

("María Mercedes... María Mercedes....")

María Mercedes, at your service

What a delicious music I dance to

The dance assuages any pain

Its rhythm warms my heart

("María Mercedes... María Mercedes

María Mercedes... María Mercedes")

Yes sir!!
