La Flaca por Jarabe de Palo (Spain)
Translation: Laura
En la vida conoci mujer igual a la Flaca
In my live I never met a woman like "La Flaca" (1)
coral negro de la Habana, tremendisima (2) mulata.
black coral of La Habana, tremendous mulatto woman (of a mixed race)
Cien libras de piel y hueso, cuarenta kilos de Salsa,
One hundred pounds of skin and bone, forty kilos of Salsa
en la cara dos soles que sin palabras hablan
in the face two suns that speak without words
que sin palabras hablan
that speak without words
La Flaca duerme de dia, dice que asi el hambre engaña,
La Flaca sleeps during the day, she says that like this she cheats/tricks the hunger
cuando cae la noche baja a bailar a la Tasca.
when the night falls down she goes to the bar/tavern for dancing
Y bailar y bailar, y tomar y tomar
and dancing and dancing, and drinking and drinking
una cerveza tras otra pero ella nunca engorda
a beer after the other but she never gets fat
pero ella nunca engorda
but she never gets fat
Estribillo (Refrain)
Por un beso de la Flaca daria lo que fuera
for a kiss of La Flaca I will give anything
por un beso de ella, aunque solo uno fuera
for a kiss of her, even if it were just one
Mojé mis sabanas blancas, como dice la canción
I wet my white sheets (bed sheets), as it is said in the song (3)
Recordando las caricias que me brindó el primer día
remembering the caresses that she gave me the first day
Y enloquezco de ganas de dormir a su ladito
and I get crazy wanting to sleep by her side
Porque Dios que esta flaca a mi me tiene loquito
Because God sees that this flaca drives me crazy
Oh, a mi me tiene loquito
drives me crazy
