Paroles et traduction en anglais Lu Colombo - Maracaibo (Cuban Traditional)

Maracaibo (Cuban Traditional)

Maracaibo balla al barracuda si ma balla nuda, Zaza.

Si ma le machine pistole si ma le mitragliere
Era una copertura faceva il traffico d'armi con Cuba
Innamorata si ma di Miguel
Ma Miguel non c'era era in Cordigliera da mattina a sera.

Si ma c'era Pedro con la verde luna
L'abbracciava sulle casse, sulle casse di nitroglicerina
Tornò Miguel tornò, la vide impallidì
Il cuore suo tremò, quattro colpi di pistola le sparò.

Maracaibo, mare forza nove, fuggire sì ma dove, Zaza.

L'albero spezzato una pinna nera
Nella notte scura come una bandiera
Morde il pescecane nella pelle bruna
Una zanna bianca come la luna.

Maracaibo, finito il barracuda, finito ballar nuda, Zaza.

Un gran salotto ventitrè mulatte
Danzan come matte casa di piaceri per stranieri
Centotrentachili splendida regina
Rhum e cocaina, Zaza.

Se sarai cortese ti farà vedere
Nella pelle bruna una zanna bianca come la luna

Maracaibo (Cuban Traditional)

Maracaibo dances naked for the barracuda, Zaza.

Oh, how her machine pistols and her sub-machine guns
Provided cover as she trafficked arms with Cuba
She was in love with Miguel
But Miguel was away, fighting in the mountains from dawn to dusk.

Oh, but there was Pedro with the crescent moon
He embraced her on the crates, the crates of nitroglycerin
When Miguel returned, he saw her and his face turned pale
His heart sank, and with four shots from his pistol he killed her.

Maracaibo, where the seas are rough, there's nowhere to run, Zaza.

A shattered mast, a black fin
In the dark night, like a flag
The shark bites into her brown skin
With a white tooth as bright as the moon.

Maracaibo, the barracuda is gone, and there's no more dancing naked, Zaza.

A grand salon, twenty-three mulatto women
They dance like mad in this house of pleasure for foreigners
A magnificent queen weighing one hundred and thirty kilos
Rum and cocaine, Zaza.

If you're polite, she'll show you
In her brown skin, a white tooth as bright as the moon
