La colegiala [English translation]

Today I have seen you

walking with your books,

and your face of a coquet,

schoolgirl of my love.

You smile without thinking that at seeing you,

I'm only suffering for you,

schoolgirl of my love.

Dance with the Típica!1

Schoolgirl, schoolgirl,

pretty schoolgirl, schoolgirl.

Schoolgirl, don't be so coquettish.

Schoolgirl, come, say yes to me.

Dance the cumbia!2

Until six in the morning.
