Prestame Tu Mujer

Marcelino.Oye amigo tu sabes quien se mudó
Al lado de aquel colmado
Que está en la esquina
La última mulata que tuve yo...
Si mi socio.si mi hermano.
Aquella mulata.echá pa'lante.
Eso que te está.porque vive con Bartolo el vigilante

Y como tu eres mi amigo
Vengo a pedirte un favor
Y como tu eres mi amigo
Vengo a pedirte un favor
Que me prestes tu mujer
Pa' tirarle un plante
Que me prestes tu mujer
Pa' tirarle un plante.

PRESTAME TU MUJER MI HERMANO PARA TIRARLE UN PLANTE PRESTAME TU MUJER MI HERMANO PARA TIRARLE UN PLANTE PRESTAME TU MUJER MI HERMANO PARA TIRARLE UN PLANTE

Y tu que dices que eres mi amigo

Prestame Tu Mujer

Marcelino. Hey, my friend, do you know who moved
Next door to that grocery store
That's on the corner
The last mulatto I had...
Yeah, my buddy. My brother.
That mulatto. Come on.
That's because she's living with Bartolo the guard

And since you're my friend
I'm here to ask you a favor
And since you're my friend
I'm here to ask you a favor
Can I borrow your wife
To throw her a pitch
Can I borrow your wife
To throw her a pitch.

BORROW YOUR WIFE, MY BROTHER, TO THROW HER A PITCH BORROW YOUR WIFE, MY BROTHER, TO THROW HER A PITCH BORROW YOUR WIFE, MY BROTHER, TO THROW HER A PITCH

The chick I wanted is the guard's wife
BORROW YOUR WIFE, MY BROTHER, TO THROW HER A PITCH Borrow your wife to dance with her
Borrow your wife to dance with her
BORROW YOUR WIFE, MY BROTHER TO THROW HER A PITCH
And you say you're my friend
Borrow your wife, I beg you
BORROW YOUR WIFE, MY BROTHER TO THROW HER A PITCH
Because I don't want her to say
That I couldn't come on strong

BORROW YOUR WIFE, MY BROTHER TO THROW HER A PITCH
I wanted that girl, what do you think?
That's a trap that no one deserves

BORROW YOUR WIFE, MY BROTHER TO THROW HER A PITCH
Oh oh oh oh to dance with her
Oh oh oh oh to dance with her

BORROW YOUR WIFE, MY BROTHER TO THROW HER A PITCH
And Marcelino, what I ask
Is that I just want her to go out with me

I want her to see me looking sharp
TO THROW HER A PITCH
So she knows that I'm a man on the make and on the move

TO THROW HER A PITCH
If you do me this favor, no one can stop me
TO THROW HER A PITCH
Oh oh oh oh to dance with her
Oh oh oh oh to dance with her
Marcelino!...

TO THROW HER A PITCH
Because you're my friend!...

TO THROW HER A PITCH
I beg you!...
TO THROW HER A PITCH
But will you lend me your wife, Marcelino
TO THROW HER A PITCH
