La colegiala [English translation]

Today I have seen you

walking with your books,

and your face of a coquet,

You smile without thinking that at seeing you,

I'm only suffering for you,

schoolgirl of my love.

Schoolgirl, don't be so coquettish.

Schoolgirl, come, say yes to me.

Dance the cumbia!2
