Lyrics - Spanish
(Mexican folk song)
¡Qué linda es mi amor, Rosita de Monterrey!
¡Hermosa como una flor, más bella qué nadie!
¡Rosita, no te puedo olvidar, nunca me olvido!
¡Contigo ojalá me pueda casar, contigo me caso!
English Translation - Rosita from Monterrey
How beautiful is my love, Rosita from Monterrey!
Beautiful like a flower, more pretty than anyone!
Rosita, I can’t forget you, I will never forget!
With you hopefully I can marry, with you I will marry.

This is a really neat song. I am wondering if you can provide more context for it. When is this song usually sung? Is there a game or dance that goes along with it? Are there different titles? etc. I tried searching on my own but could not find the information anywhere. Thanks!
Hi Meghan!
Sorry, I found this song in a book awhile ago, and there was no info provided there either. 🙂
