La Tertulia - Remastered

La otra noche fui de fiesta en cas'e Julia,
Se encontraba ya reunida la familia:
Mari-Pepa, Felícitas, Luz y Otilia
Y Camila, que alegraba la tertulia.
Mientras Lupe daba al niño su mamila
Doña Cleta pidió un botella a Celia,
Nos formó a los de confianza dos en fila
Y brindamos con charanda de Morelia.
Después Amelia puso la vitrola
Y le tupimos a la danza, ahí, hechos bola;
Había un cadete que celaba a Chelo,
Mas la canija con Gaspar se daba vuelo.
Después nos dieron sangüichitos de jalea,
A unos ponche y a los tristes coca-cola,
Como la gata pa' servir ni se menea
Yo me llevé hasta la cocina mi charola.
Ahí me encontré con los amiguitos de Ofelia
Que a contrabando habían pasado su tequila,
Nos aventamos una copas tras la pila
Y por poquito ya mero nos cae Amelia.
Luego pidieron que cantara Lola
Y soportamos "Ya te doy la despedida..."
Después tía Cleta tocó la pianola,
Pa' que no hablara le dimos buena aplaudida.
Yo me hice fuerte y les canté "La carta a Ufemia",
Que me echo un gallo y un changuito me vacila,
Que me arranco, pero me detuvo Ugenia,
Si no en el limbo ya estuviera haciendo fila.
Pero ya estaba digerida la jalea,
Pos la mujer del general me hacía la bola,
Fue con el chisme la metiche de Carola
Y vino el viejo y que comienza la pelea.
Se armó el relajo, sacó su pistola,
Yo, precavido, me escondí tras la pianola.
Vino la "julia", pues la llamó Lola,
Y pa' la cárcel nos llevaron hechos bola.

La Tertulia - Remastered

Last night I went to a party at Julia's place,
The family was already gathered:
Mari-Pepa, Felícitas, Luz and Otilia
And Camila, who livened up the shindig.
While Lupe was feeding the baby its milk
Doña Cleta asked Celia for a bottle
She lined us up, the trusted ones, two by two
And we toasted with charanda from Morelia.
Then Amelia put on the record player
And we danced, all mixed up in a heap;
There was a cadet who was jealous of Chelo,
But the little minx was having a fling with Gaspar.
Then they gave us jelly sandwiches,
Punch for some, and Coca-Cola for the sad ones,
Since the cat couldn't be bothered to serve
I took my plate into the kitchen.
There I met Ofelia's friends
Who had smuggled in their tequila,
We knocked back one shot after another
And Amelia almost caught us.
Then they asked Lola to sing
And we endured "Ya te doy la despedida..."
Then Aunt Cleta played the pianola,
We gave her a good round of applause so she wouldn't talk.
I got my courage up and sang "La carta a Ufemia",
I hit a high note and a monkey mocked me,
I would have taken off, but Eugenia stopped me,
Otherwise I'd be in limbo by now.
But the jelly was already digested,
And the general's wife was giving me the eye,
The nosy Carola started the gossip
And the old man came in and started a fight.
All hell broke loose, he pulled out his gun,
I hid behind the pianola, just to be safe.
Lola cried out for the "julia",
And they took us all to jail, in a heap.
