Translation:
Hermoso cariño,
Hermoso cariño
Que Dios me ha mandado
A ser destinado nomás para mí.
Beautiful beloved,
Beautiful beloved
That God has sent me
To be destined only for me.
Precioso regalo,
Precioso regalo
Del cielo ha llegado
Y que me ha colmado de dicha y amor.
Precious gift,
Precious gift
From heaven has arrived
And it fills me with bliss and love.
Hermoso cariño,
Hermoso cariño,
Ya estoy como un niño
Con nuevo juguete contento y feliz.
Beautiful beloved,
Beautiful beloved,
I am like a boy now
With a new toy, content and happy.
No puedo evitarlo,
Y quiero gritarlo,
Hermoso cariño
Que Dios ha mandado nomás para mí.
I cannot avoid it,
And I want to shout it,
Beautiful beloved
That God has sent for no one else but me.
Hermoso cariño,
Hermoso cariño,
Ya estoy como un niño
Con nuevo juguete, contento y feliz.
Beautiful beloved,
Beautiful beloved,
I am like a boy now
With a new toy, content and happy.
No puedo evitarlo,
Y quiero gritarlo,
Hermoso cariño
Que Dios ha mandado nomás para mí.
I cannot avoid it,
And I want to shout it,
Beautiful beloved
That God has sent for no one else but me.
Translation Notes:
Hermoso cariño
Beautiful beloved/darling/sweetheart
Beautiful love/affection
Here, cariño may refer to either the person being serenaded by this mariachi song, or to the concept of love itself.
Ya estoy como un niño
Con nuevo juguete, contento y feliz.
I am like a boy now
With a new toy, content and happy.
In the cultural context of Mexican Spanish, the point of these two lines is to focus on the simple happiness of a child, not the toy object itself. The serenader is telling the listener that they make them content and happy, like a child with no adult worries who has all their needs met.
