Macorina Lyrics
Chavela Vargas
Lyrics
ponme la mano aqui, macorina
ponme la mano aqui
ponme la mano aqui, macorina
ponme la mano aqui
tus pies dejaban la estela
y se escapaba tu saya
buscando la verde raya
que al ver tu talle tan fino
las cañas azucareras
se echaban por el camino
para que tu las molieras
como si fueses molino
ponme la mano aqui, macorina
ponme la mano aqui
ponme la mano aqui, macorina
ponme la mano aqui
tus senos carne de anon
tu boca una bendicion
de guanabana madura
y era tu fina cintura
la misma de aquel danzon
ponme la mano aqui, macorina
ponme la mano aqui
ponme la mano aqui, macorina
ponme la mano aqui
despues el amanecer
que de mis brazos te lleva
y yo sin saber que hacer
de aquel olor a mujer
a mango y a caña nueva
con que me llevaste al son
caliente de aquel danzon
ponme la mano aqui, macorina
ponme la mano aqui
ponme la mano aqui, macorina
ponme la mano aqui
ponme la mano aqui, macorina
ponme la mano aqui
ponme la mano aqui, macorina
ponme la mano aqui
