Paroles et traduction Carlos Vives - La Maye

La Maye

Ay! Maye me mandó a llamar
Como que me quiere ver
Acabo e′vení de allá y ya me mando a llama otra vez (bis)
Maye me mandó a llamar, sé lo que me a decir
Me acabo de levantar, quiere que vuelva a dormir (bis)
Ay! Tranquilízate Maye
Deja a Rafael tranquilo (bis)
Que no me gasto por la calle
Siempre te regreso lo mismo (bis)
Maye me mandó a llamar
Yo estaba en el algodón
Vi un gusano en una flor y lo voy a fumigar
Pero la Maye no cree, que yo voy a fumigar
Acabo e'vení de allá y ya me mando a llamar otra vez
Las mujeres según ella, todas son de Rafael
Pa′viví con esta pena, vivo solo y sin mujer (bis)
Lo que voy a contá ahora van a pensar que es locura
Porque salude a una monja me dijo metete a cura (bis)

La Maye

Oh! Maye sent for me
As if she wanted to see me
I just came from there and she's already calling me again (twice)
Maye sent for me, I know what she'll say
I just woke up, she wants me to go back to sleep (twice)
Oh! Calm down, Maye
Leave Rafael alone (twice)
I don't spend time on the streets
I always come back to you (twice)
Maye sent for me
I was in the cotton fields
I saw a worm on a flower and I'm going to spray it
But Maye doesn't believe me, that I'm going to spray it
I just came from there and she's already calling me again
According to her, all the women are Rafael's
To live with this pain, I live alone and without a woman (twice)
What I'm going to tell you now, you'll think it's crazy
Because I greeted a nun and she told me to become a priest (twice)
