Lyrics and translation Fruko y Sus Tesos - El Patillero

El Patillero

Al son de la carretilla
Va gritando su pregón
El vendedor de patilla
Gritando rojitas son
Y se escucha
Así
Su pregón
Y se escucha
Así
Son, son
Rojitas son
Como el corazón
Rojitas son
Mis patiiiillas
Son, son
Rojitas son
Como el corazón
Rojitas son
Mis pati
Y detrás viene
Un bocón
Que le grita
¡amarillas!

Calle arriba
Calle abajo
Calles vienen
Calles van
Vacilando al patillero
Aquel bocón iba detrás

El patillero cabrero
Escuchaba el vacilón
Pendiente de aquel grosero
Se chocó con un camión.
Tolón, tolón
Y hasta ahí llegó
Se rompieron las patillas
Todas eran amarillas
Y no como el corazón
La furia del camionero
El susto del patillero
Y la risa del bocón.
Cosa buena

El bocón
Oiga señor
Eso me lo paga
El bocón).
Aló, aló
Barranquilla por la carrera e la paz
Bajando paseo Bolívar cruzaron San Nicolás
Pero al cruzar por San Blas
Pum
Quedaron como estampillas
Las patillas
Oiga señor
Eso me lo paga
El bocón
Cosa buena
Oiga señor
Eso me lo paga
El bocón
Y lo que salvó al bocón
Del furioso patillero
Que al cruzar un callejón
Le salió ladrando un perro
Que le arrancó el pantalón
Lo dejo en cuero
Oiga señor
Eso me lo paga
El bocón
Cosa buena
Oiga señor
Eso me lo paga
El bocón
Tolón, tolón
Tolón, tolón
Te va a llevar
El patillero sabroso
Oiga señor
Eso me lo paga
El bocón
Eso me lo paga
El bocón

The Watermelon Vendor

To the sound of the wheelbarrow
He shouts his advertisement
The watermelon vendor
Shouting these are red
And you can hear him
Like this
His advertisement
And you can hear him
Like this
They are, they are
These are red
Like the heart
These are red
My watermelons
They are, they are
These are red
Like the heart
These are red
My waterme
And there passed
A big-mouth
Who shouts at him
Yellow!

Up the block
Down the block
Blocks come
Blocks go
Teasing the watermelon vendor
That big-mouth was following him

The watermelon vendor, angry
Listened to the teasing
Watching that rude guy
He crashed into a truck.
Boom, boom
And there he ended up
The watermelons broke
All of them were yellow
And not like the heart
The rage of the truck driver
The fright of the watermelon vendor
And the laughter of the big-mouth.
Good thing

The big mouth
Hey sir
You'll pay for this
The big mouth).
Hello, hello
Barranquilla along the race for peace
Going down the Bolívar Promenade crossing San Nicolás
But crossing through San Blas
Boom
They stayed like stamps
The watermelons
Hey sir
You'll pay for this
The big mouth
Good thing
Hey sir
You'll pay for this
The big mouth
And what saved the big mouth
From the furious watermelon vendor
Was that crossing through an alley
A dog came out barking at him
That tore up his pants
Leaving him naked
Hey sir
You'll pay for this
The big mouth
Good thing
Hey sir
You'll pay for this
The big mouth
Boom, boom
Boom, boom
You will be taken away
The delicious watermelon vendor
Hey sir
You'll pay for this
The big mouth
You'll pay for this
The big mouth
