Translation of the song Polleritas artist Mercedes Sosa
Polleritas
Little skirts
Pollerita, pollerita
Little skirt, little skirt
Pollerita, pollerita
Little skirt, little skirt
Pollerita, pollerita
Little skirt, little skirt
Pollerita, pollerita
Little skirt, little skirt
Pollerita colorada color de aji
Little chili-coloured skirt
Pollerita colorada color de aji
Little chili-cloured skirt
De verde te ando pidiendo que digas sí
Wearing green I beg you to say yes
De verde te ando pidiendo que digas sí
Wearing green I beg you to say yes
Mita' pa' mi, mita' pa' vos
Half for me, half for you
Cuando nos casemos va a llover arroz
When we marry, it will rain rice
Mita' pa' vos, mita' pa' mi
Half for you, half for me
Ahi te ando deseando pero me mentis
Oh, I desire you but you lie to me
Pollerita, pollerita de mi coyita
Little skirt, little skirt of my little Coya woman
Pollerita, pollerita color rosita
Little skirt, little pink skirt
¡que bien lo baila, que bien lo canta!
she dances it so well, she sings it so well!
Con mi charanguito (x2)
With my little charango
No te me quieras ir
Don't you leave me
Voy al monte a buscar miel
I go to the woodlands to look for honey
Dulzuras quiere el amor
Love wants sweetnesses
Cuando me haces padecer :
When you make me suffer:
Fingiendo, fingiendo
Faking, faking
Pollerita, pollerita ...(x4)
Little skirt, little skirt...
Aritos te dare
I will give you earrings
Si los puedo robar
If I can steal them
Con mi mano de lana
With my hand made of wool
Vidita te voy a acariciar.(x2)
My life, I will caress you.
Pollerita, pollerita de mi coyita
Little skirt, little skirt of my little Coya woman
Pollerita, pollerita color rosita
Little skirt, little pink skirt
¡que bien lo baila, que bien lo canta!
she dances it so well, she sings it so well!
Con mi charanguito (x2)
With my charanguito
Aritos te dare
I will give you earrings
Si los puedo robar
If I can steal them
Con mi mano de lana
With my hand made of wool
Vidita te voy a acariciar.(x2)
My life, I will caress you.
