Maracaibo (Uncovered Unplugged)

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 (Uncovered Unplugged)

Maracaibo is dancing with the barracuda, but naked she dances, darling.

If she had machine guns, if she had pistols
She was a cover, she dealt in arms with Cuba
She was in love, but with Miguel
But Miguel was away, in the Cordillera, from morning till night.

If she had Pedro with green grass
He would embrace her on the crates of nitroglycerine
Miguel came back, he saw her, and turned pale
His heart trembled, and he shot her four times with his gun.

Maracaibo, the sea is force nine, escape, yes, but where, darling.

The broken tree, a black fin
In the dark night like a flag
The shark bites through her brown skin
A white tooth like the moon.

Maracaibo, the barracuda is dead, no more dancing naked, darling.

In a large room, twenty-three mixed-race women
Dancing like mad, a house of pleasure for foreigners
A hundred and thirty kilos, a splendid queen
Rum and cocaine, my dear.

If you are polite, she will let you see
In her brown skin, a white tooth like the moon
