Lyrics and translation Ray Barretto - Trucutu

Trucutu

Trucutu que sabes trucos. Así le dijo a su tia,
Se me acaba la energía pa′ levantar el matruuuco.

(Ayyy Dioooos)

Un sabio que estaba oyeendo,
De esos sabios bien pelus',
Me dijo no traigas trucos es el matruco que eres tú.

Trucutu que sabes trucos. Así le dijo a su tia,
Se me acaba la energía pa′ levantar el matruuuco.
(Ayyy Dioooos)

Un sabio que estaba oyeendo,
De esos sabios bien pelus',
Me dijo no traigas trucos es el matruco que eres tú.
TRUCU-TU-CU-TU-CU CUTUCUTU (No es el matruco, que eres tú).
Salta la verja Pedrito, brincala tú (No es el matruco, que eres tú).

Yo traigo un tungú moderno pa'
Trucutu (No es el matruco, que eres tú).
Para que bailes tú y lo vaciles tú
Mamá (No es el matruco, que eres tú).

CUTRUCU CUTRUCU CUTRUCU
CU-TU-CUTUCUUU (No es el matruco, que eres tú).

Ven ven que eres tú,
Sabara sabara sabara sabara bareba que
Eres tú (No es el matruco, que eres tú).
Ven a bailar la rumba del trucutu
Mamá (No es el matruco, que eres tú).
Cuidao′ que allá viene Marumba con Juan
Cadaluz (No es el matruco, que eres tú).
Ee prende la vela y apaga la luz (No es el matruco, que eres tú).
Ave maría que me dicen que se fue para la
Guerra Mambru (No es el matruco, que eres tú).
CUTRUCU CUTRUCU CUTRUCU CU-TU-CUTUCU (No es el matruco, que eres tú).
Ven para que bailes sin Pedro y
Vaciles tú (No es el matruco, que eres tú).
Eee eeea pa que bailes tú (No es el matruco, que eres tú).

Ven, ven, ven vacilalo tú (No es el matruco, que eres tú).
Siento un bongo mamita,
Me está llamando a gozar (No es el matruco, que eres tú).
Para gozar candela,
Carmela te voy a dar (No es el matruco, que eres tú).
No te me salgas pa′ fuera...
Vacilo tú (No es el matruco, que eres tú).
Ee que tú te pareces a Fumanchú Mafu (No es el matruco, que eres tú).
Ya se va!

Trucutu

Trucutu, you're full of tricks. That's what you told your aunt,
I'm running out of energy to lift the matruuuco.

(Oh my God.)

A wise man who was listening,
One of those really cool wise men,
He told me to stop bringing tricks; it's you who's the matruco.

YOU-CU-TU-CU-TU-CU CUTUCUTU (It's not the matruco, it's you).
Jump over the fence, Pedrito, jump over it (It's not the matruco, it's you).

For you to dance and enjoy it

Hail Mary, they tell me he went off to the
Mambru War (It's not the matruco, it's you).
CUTRUCU CUTRUCU CUTRUCU CU-TU-CUTUCU (It's not the matruco, it's you).

Come on, come on, come on, enjoy yourself (It's not the matruco, it's you).
I feel a bongo, little mama,
It's calling me to have fun (It's not the matruco, it's you).
To have fun and make love,
Carmela, I'm going to give it to you (It's not the matruco, it's you).
Don't you dare go outside...
Have fun yourself (It's not the matruco, it's you).
Ee, because you look like Fumanchú Mafu (It's not the matruco, it's you).
He's leaving!
