paroles de chanson Pancho Claus (1981) - Lalo Guerrero

Twas thee night before Christmas
And all through thee casa
Mamá she was busy preparing the masa
To make thee tamales for the tamalada
And all the ingredients for the enchiladas
Papá in the front room with all the muchachas
Was dancing the mambo and doing the chacha
My brothers and sisters were out in the hall
Listening to Elvis singing rock and roll

When all of a sudden there came such a racket
I sprang form my bed and put on my jacket
I looked out the window and in front of the house
Was my old uncle Pedro as drunk as a louse

He ran in la casa and he grabbed the guitarra
And he let out a yell (Grito) and he sang Guadalajara
Guadalajara, Guadalajara, Guadalajara, Guadalajara

I was starting to wonder as I laid there alone
How old Santa Claus was to visit my home
With all of this noise they would scare him away
When all of a sudden, I hear someone say

Jea, Pablo, Chuchito Jea, arriba Gordito, Jose
Get off there you bums or you don't get no hay

And then to my wondering eyes did appear
Eight cute little donkeys instead of reindeer
They pulled a carreta that was full of toys
For all of us good little girls and boys
The fat little driver waived his big sombrero
And said Merry Christmas, Feliz Año Nuevo
That means Happy New Year

And then I heard him sing
I am Santa's cousin from South of thee border
My name's Pancho Claus and I bring you your order
I heard him exclaim as he drove past thee porches
Merry Christmas to all and to all Buenas Noches!
