Ese beso de tu boca 
Que me sabe a Fruta Fresca,
Que se escapó de tus labios 
Y se metió en mi cabeza

Ese beso con que sueño
Cuando las penas me acechan,
Que me lleva al mismo cielo
Y a la tierra me regresa

Que reza, reza, que reza
Y aunque ya no tenga cura
El recuerdo de sus besos 
Me lleve hasta la locura
 
Si, si, si, 
Este amor es tan profundo, 
Que tu eres mi consentida, 
Y que lo sepa todo el mundo

Si, si, si, 
Este amor es tan profundo, 
Que tu eres mi consentida, 
Y que lo sepa todo el mundo

Que tú eres mi­ consentida,
La niñita de mis ojos,
La que me endulza la vida 
La que calma mis enojos

La que se pone mis linda 
Cuando la llevo a una fiesta
Esa que siempre en mi cama 
Con los ángeles se acuesta 

Si, si, si, 
Este amor es tan profundo, 
Que tu eres mi consentida, 
Y que lo sepa todo el mundo

Si, si, si, 
Este amor es tan profundo, 
Que tu eres mi consentida, 
Y que lo sepa todo el mundo

Y que digan en la radio,
Que yo te quiero de veras, 
Que lo digan en los diarios, 
Y despuiés de la novela
 
Y en un letrero que diga,
Que como tú no hay ninguna,
Que lo digan en la China,
Que digan en la luna 

Si, si, si, 
Este amor es tan profundo, 
Que tu eres mi consentida, 
Y que lo sepa todo el mundo

Si, si, si, 
Este amor es tan profundo, 
Que tu eres mi consentida, 
Y que lo sepa todo el mundo

Guararié 
Guararié 
Guararié, guararié, guararié 

Guararié, 
Guararié, 
No me olvides
Que yo no te olvidarié

Si, si, si, 
Este amor es tan profundo, 
Que tu eres mi consentida, 
Y que lo sepa todo el mundo

Si, si, si, 
Este amor es tan profundo, 
Que tu eres mi consentida, 
Y que lo sepa todo el mundo
