I found her on her own, somewhere in Mexico
Anita, (Anita)
Her hair was black
Her eyes shone like two stars, so bright
"Climb up on your horse", so said I to her
Anita, (Anita)
There's a fiesta tonight
The town's not very far
Get ready quickly
I look at you: a volcano slumbers there
You are waiting for love
I want to inspire it
And to discover all no one saw before
Ohohoho
Ride on like the wind, until the night begins
Anita, (Anita)
Soon we'll be there and all will get to see
How well we get on
Musicians come around,
Play a song for us both
With music and with wine
We'll be happy tonight
I found her on her own, somewhere in Mexico
Anita, (Anita)
Her hair was black
Her eyes shone like two stars, so bright
I'll build, for us, a nest
Where we may enjoy life
Anita, (Anita)
In Mexico, because with you alone
I want to stay for all time
And around us they sat and were most quiet,
With their eyes so wide
The compañeros with their sombreros
Because now you belong to me
Ohohoho
This isn't a night that is made for sleep
Anita, (Anita)
For such a ball was never seen before
Here in Mexico
Musicians come around,
Play a song for us both
With music and with wine
We'll be happy tonight
[Chorus]
