[English]
One, two, three
A little step forward, María
One, two, three
A little step back
She,
Who does everything for her loved ones
Who has her heart on her sleeve
She never forgets anything,
For those she loves
She has that bohemian air
Something divine about her
Something that makes her exceptional
She's straightforward
She gives love
Even if she doesn't know you
As beautiful as day
It radiates around her
That's what they call her aura
She's straightforward
She gives love
She guides me when I stray
I await her return
I always miss her
Every time she leaves
One, two, three
A little step forward, María
One, two, three
A little step back
One, two, three
A little step forward, María
One, two, three
A little step back
She is the flame that lights your way in the night
When nothing goes right, when you're looking for your guide
She has the words to silence others' opinions
She is the woman, the mother, or the friend
Like a landmark, a light in your life
She knows how to make you smile, it's always flawless
She's straightforward
She gives love
Even if she doesn't know you
As beautiful as day
It radiates around her
That's what they call her aura
She's straightforward
She gives love
She guides me when I stray
I await her return
I always miss her
Every time she leaves
One, two, three
A little step forward, María
One, two, three
A little step back
One, two, three
A little step forward, María
One, two, three
A little step back
