Ray Barretto y Su Charanga Moderna - El Watusi - translation of the lyrics into English




El Watusi
The Watusi
Caballero hay acaba de entrar Watusi
Gentlemen, the Watusi has just arrived
Ese mulato que mide siete pies
That mulatto who is seven feet tall
Y pesa 169 libras
And weighs 169 pounds
Y cuando ese mulato llega
And when that mulatto arrives
Al lugar todo el mundo dice
At the place everyone says
A correr que ya llego Watusi
Run, because the Watusi has arrived
El hombre mas guapo de La Habana
The most handsome man in Havana
Watusi, Watusi, que quieres
Watusi, Watusi, what do you want?
Oye a mi me dicen que tu eres guapo
Hey, they tell me that you are handsome
A todos me tienen miedo
Everyone is afraid of me
No me digas que a ti te tienen miedo
Don't tell me that you are afraid of me
Por que yo se que yo me
Because I know that I
Fajo con cualquiera
Fight with anyone
Más grande que yo no hay ninguno
There is no one bigger than me
Ah, ha ha, vamos fajando
Ah, ha ha, let's fight
Cuando quieras nos fajamos Watusi
Whenever you want, we'll fight, Watusi
Ah, nos bebemos la sangre amigo
Ah, we'll drink our blood, friend
Aquí ahora mismo
Right here, right now
Que es lo que pasa nada
What's happening, nothing at all?
Tu sabes que yo no te tengo miedo a ti
You know that I am not afraid of you
Todo el mundo aquí te tiene miedo en
Everyone here is afraid of you in
La Habana caballero pero yo no me
Havana, gentleman, but I don't
Importa que tu tengas siete pies
Care that you are seven feet tall
Que es lo que pasa Watusi
What's happening, Watusi
Que es lo que pasa Watusi
What's happening, Watusi
Dime contigo no por que de
Tell me, not with you, because of
Los guapos yo me rio
Handsome men, I laugh
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
Como que me río en la cara Watusi
As if I would laugh in your face, Watusi
A correr bien
Run away
Nos fajamos nos fajamos
We'll fight, we'll fight
A correr caballero ya llego Watusi
Run, gentleman, the Watusi has arrived
Bueno por fin que tu vas
Well, finally, you're going
A fajar con Watusi
To fight the Watusi
No me digas Watusi
Don't tell me, Watusi
Caballero nadie se va
Gentlemen, no one is going
A fajar con Watusi
To fight the Watusi
Por que le tienes miedo al Watusi
Because you are afraid of the Watusi
Siete pies grande y feo a
Seven feet tall and ugly, to
Correr todo el mundo
Run away, everyone
No, le tenga miedo
No, I'm not afraid
Al Watusi muchacho
Of the Watusi, boy
El que no huye corre
He who does not flee runs
No no que va cuando Watusi
No, no, no, when the Watusi
Llega y dice yo soy guapo usted
Arrives and says I am handsome, you
Enseguida saca cien machetes y
Immediately pull out a hundred machetes and
Dice bueno que es lo que pasa
Say, well, what's the matter?
A mi se que yo no como ese
I know that I don't eat that
Cuento y se aplaca por que Watusi...
Story and he calms down because the Watusi...
