I found a little song that made me think of you. It's like a call-and-refrain kinda duet. I changed the name Marieta to Perquita in the lyrics. Hope you like.

Marieta par Faustino Oramas

A mí me gusta que baile Perquita.

Oye, Viejo, tú me cantas sabroso.
Querida, to voy a presentar a Perquita.
Ese ritmo sí está resalao
¿A quién no le gusta bailar con Perquita?

Yo tengo una mala maña
que a mí misma da pena.
que a mí misma da pena.
Que you me acuesto en mi cama
y amanezco en cama ajena.

A mí me gusta que baile Perquita.

A mí me gusta cantar
pa' Perquita.
Oye Perquita,
todo el mundo quiere bailar contigo.
Este son sí está muy sabroso.

Vamos a conocer todo el mundo a Perquita.

Anoche estaba fiestando
en un santo celebrado
sentí olor a bacalao,
dije: allí están cocinando.
Y así me exploté cantando
para acordame mejor,
y resulta que el elor
que estaba allí sucediendo
es que había un lata hirviendo
llena de ropa interior.

Esa chiqua sí está bailadora.
Querida, vas a concer pronto a Perquita.
Oye, Viejo
ya yo la estoy conociendo.
Voy a sacarte pasaje
para ques veas a Perquita.

Mi mamá me dijo a mí
que cantara y que gozara.
Mi mamá me dijo a mí
que cantara y que gozara,
pero que nunca me metiera
--oye, Viejo--
en camisa de once varas.

Por eso quier conocer a Perquita.
Yo sé que tú la conoces my sabroso.
Mentira, Querida,
yo no conozco a Perquita.
Que tú te estás haciendo, Viejo
el bobo.

Mi mujer se me enfermó
del corazón en La Habana.
Y el mé una mañana
vino y la reconoció.
El vestido le quitó
bloomer también y refajo
dije: eso no me conviene
creo que mi mujer no tiene
el corazón tan abajo.
Oye, Lobito, vamos a ver a Perquita.

Con Perquita.

Oye, yo voy a ir a Holguín.
Mira qué rico está.
Querida, te voy a llevar.
Viejo, quería cantar
contigo mucho más.
Mentira, tú puedes bailar.
Contigo you quiero gozar.
Con Perquita vamos a guarachar.
Vamos todo, vamos todo a cumbanchar.
A Holguin yo lo voy a presentar.
Oye, con tu bastoncito, Viejo
ya voy a gozar.
Faustino Oramas me puede hospedar.
Qué rico, qué bueno.
Perquita, te voy a buscar.
¿Qué le pasa a Marieta?
Vamos con ella a bailar.
Vamos todos a gozar.

I like it when Perquita dances
Listen, Viejo, you're singing great.
Lover, let me introduce you to Perquita.
That rhythm's really wild.
Who doesn't like to dance with Perquita.

I've got some evil ways
that upset even me.
I've got some evil ways
that upset even me.
I retire to my bed
but wake up in another's.

I like it when Perquita dances.

I like to sing
for Perquita.
Listen, Perquita,
everyone wants to dance with you.
This song is really tasty.

Let's tell everybody about Perquita.

Last night I was clebrating
a special saint's night.
I could smell the cod
and I said: "They're cooking over there."
And I burst into song
to remember it better
but it turned out that
what I could smell
was a pot of underwear boiling.

That babe can really dance.
Lover, soon you'll know Perquita.
Listen, Viejo
I'm getting to know her already.
I'll get you a ticket
to go and see Perquita.

My mother told me
to sing and have fun.
My mother told me
to sing and have fun
but never, Viejo
to interfere in
other people's affairs.

That's why I want to meet Perquita
I know you know her well.
That's a lie, lover.
I don't know Perquita.
Viejo, you're making
a fool of yourself.

My wife was suffering
from an illness of the heart in Havana.
So the doctor came one morning
to examine her.
He took off her dress,
her panties, too, and her slip,
but when I saw that indecency
I said, "this isn't good,
I really don't think my wife's heart
is that far down."
Listen, Lobito, let's go and see Perquita.

With Perquita.

Hey, I'm going to Holguín.
Look, it is really lovely.
Lover, I'll take you.
Viejo, I wanted to sing
with you much longer.
Liar, you can dance.
I want to have fun with you.
We're going to party with Perquita.
Come on, everybody, let's go drinking.
I'll introduce you to Holguín.
Yes, with your walking stick, Viejo
I'll have a great time.
Faustino Oramas can put us up.
Great, that's really good.
Perquita, I'm coming for you.
What's wrong with Perquita?
We're going dancing with her.
Let's all have some fun.
 
not a bad translation, Viejo, but some of the double talk is lost in translation.
