Lyrics
Cara sucia, cara sucia, cara sucia
Te has venido con la cara sin lavar,
Esa cara tan bonita y picarona
Que refleja una pasión angelical.
Si tu cara fuera espejo de tu alma
Siempre sucia la debías de llevar
Y mis labios tuvieran que ser la fuente
Donde tu cara se tendría que lavar.
 
Anda a lavarte la cara
En la fuente del amor,
Y que el brillo de tus ojos
Igualen siempre a tus labios rojos...
Andá a lavarte la cara
Que deslumbra como el sol,
Y hasta el mismo San Antonio pecaría
Cara sucia, cara sucia,
Confesándote su amor.
 
Por tu audacia y tu figura de pillete
Por tu modo coquetón de caminar,
Por tu traza de traviesa pizpireta
Por tu modo malicioso de mirar.
Por tu rubia ensortijada cabellera
Por tu modo encantador de conversar,
Es motivo para que todos los mozos
Cara sucia, te critiquen al pasar.
English translation
Dirty face, dirty face, dirty face, dirty face
You've come with your face unwashed,
That pretty, naughty face
That reflects an angelic passion.
If your face were a mirror of your soul
You should always wear it dirty
And my lips would have to be the fountain
Where your face would have to wash.
 
Go wash your face
In the fountain of love,
And may the brightness of your eyes
May they always match your red lips...
Go wash your face
That dazzles like the sun,
And even Saint Anthony himself would sin
Dirty face, dirty face,
Confessing his love for you.
 
For your audacity and your pileated figure
For your flirtatious way of walking,
For your mischievous, mischievous, mischievous way of walking.
For your mischievous way of looking.
For your blond curly hair
For your charming way of conversing,
It's a reason for all the waiters
Dirty face, criticize you in passing.
