Lyrics
Pasé una noche
escribiendo una cartita
para explicarte, vidita,
mi querer;
frases bonitas
que hablaban con ternura
de tu atrayente figura,
tus encantos de mujer.
Pero no pude
terminar esa cartita
para poderte, vidita,
convencer;
y tantas cosas
en ella te decía
que al final ni yo entendía
y la tuve que romper.

¡Churrasca!...
¡Mi churrasquita!...
Yo no encuentro otra palabra
que mejor la puerta me abra
para expresarte mi amor.
Ahora que siento
que se abriga en mí un cariño
lo confieso, como un niño,
así, estoy.
¡Churrasca!...
¡Mi churrasquita!...
Entendé esta palabrita
que te dice tantas cosas...
y abrí tu corazón.

No ando con vueltas
y te hablo con franqueza:
temo perder la cabeza
y el valor.
Pasé las horas
consultando diccionarios,
libritos, epistolarios
y formularios de amor;
pero en ninguno
de esos libros con versitos
encontré mi amor escrito
con calor.
No hubo un poeta
que me diera un buen consejo...
Por eso, derecho viejo,
yo me haré entender mejor.
English translation
I spent a night
writing a little letter
to explain to you, vidita
my love;
beautiful phrases
that spoke tenderly
of your attractive figure,
your womanly charms.
But I could not
finish that little letter
to be able to convince you, vidita,
convince you;
and so many things
in it I told you
that in the end not even I understood
and I had to break it.

Churrasca!...
My churrasquita!....
I can't find another word
that better opens the door for me
to express my love for you.
Now that I feel
that a love is harbored in me
I confess it, like a child,
so, I am.
Churrasca!...
My churrasquita!...
Understand this little word
that tells you so many things...
and open your heart.

I don't beat around the bush
and I speak to you frankly:
I'm afraid of losing my head
and courage.
I spent hours
consulting dictionaries,
little books, epistolary
and love forms;
but in none
of those books with little verses
I found my love written
with warmth.
There was no poet
who gave me good advice...
That's why, right old man,
I will make myself better understood.
