the
youth
of
today,
Lo
que

gotten
into
you?
Que

chamamé?
Ya

Your
music
has
no
rhyme
or
reason.
Que
por

You've
let
foreign
fashions
Pisotee
la
tradición
Trample
on
tradition,
Una
música
cualquiera
With
your
mediocre
noise.
Cuando
este
baile
comienza
When
this
dance
begins,
Las
mujeres
y
varones
The
women
and
men
Empiezan
a
dar
patadas
Start
kicking
and
punching
each
other,
A
tirarse
manotones
As
if
they've
lost
their
minds.
Te
juro
me
dio
calor
I
tell
you,
I
was
ashamed
Cuando
mi
hermana
la
ñata
When
I
saw
my
sister,
Bailando
el
rocanrol
Dancing
the
rock
and
roll,
Se
le
perdió
la
alpargata
And
losing
her
sandal
in
the
process.
Se
me
hace
la
petitera
She's
become
a
hooligan,
Y
anda
toda
despeinada
Her
hair
a
mess.
Y
ahora
usa
la
pollera
Now
she
wears
her
skirts
Bien
cortita
y
ajustada
Shockingly
short
and
tight.
Si
conociera
el
autor
If
I
could
ever
find
the
man
Que
esa
música
compuso
Who
wrote
this
so-called
music,
Se
lo
envío
a
tata
Dios
I'd
send
him
to
God,
En
el
satélite
ruso

the
Russian
satellite.
Cuando
este
baile

Las

men
Empiezan
