Original lyrics
Tehuana Mía
Tehuana, tehuana mía
tehuana del hondo mar
si yo pudiera te haría
la soberana del día
por tu divino1 mirar.
Tehuana, tehuana mía
tehuana del hondo mar
si yo pudiera te haría
la soberana del día
por tu divino mirar.
Cuando Dios hizo los cielos
también la tierra creó
hubo tempestad de celos
y en sus divinos anhelos
de un lucero te formó.
Tehuana que amor provocas
tehuana del hondo mar
quién tuviera mucho o poca
miel de colmena en la boca
para poderte besar.
Tehuana que amor provocas
tehuana del hondo mar
quién tuviera mucho o poca
miel de colmena en la boca
para poderte besar.
Quién fuera como el jilguero
que canta rústico son
para ser tu prisionero
teniendo por carcelero
tu divino corazón.
- 1. o 'esplendente'
- Tehuana:
a diminutive for woman from Tehuantepec, Oaxaca Mexico.

My Tehuana
Tehuana1, my tehuana
tehuana of the deep sea
if I could I would make
you sovereign for a day
for your divine gaze.
Tehuana, my tehuana
tehuana of the deep sea
if I could I would make
you sovereign for a day
for your divine gaze.
When God created the heavens
He made the earth too
there was a storm of jealousy
and in His divine longings
from a morning star He formed you.
Tehuana, you provoke such love
tehuana of the deep sea
whoever has too little or too much
honey from the beehive in their mouth
in order to kiss you.
Tehuana, you provoke such love
tehuana of the deep sea
whoever has too little or too much
honey from the beehive in their mouth
in order to kiss you.
Who like a goldfinch
that sings a rustic melody
so he can be your prisoner
and he has for a jailer
your divine heart.
- 1. A woman from Tehuantepec.

Some artists will cover the song with the verses in different places, some will make minor changes of a handful of words as well. The video features Saúl Martínez's version, and the 'mia' is added after the title. Sometimes the song is simply titled 'Tehuana'.
