Mr. Dad

Señor Papá

My father asked meMi padre me preguntó
What profession I likedQue qué oficio me gustaba
And he repeated a fewY me repitió unos cuantos
That never fit meQue a mí nunca me cuadraban
And so began that storyY así empezó aquella historia
So many times repeatedTantas veces repetida
That my father told meQue mi padre me contaba
About the profession I wanted...Del oficio que quería...

My father got tiredMi padre ya se cansó
Of asking my sisterDe preguntarle a mi hermana

At night and in the morningDe noche y por la mañana
And my sister always saidY mi hermana siempre decía
I saw him with two girlsLo he visto con dos chabalas
And he ran away with tucoY con tuco se iba corriendo
As if he were in a hurry...Como si fuera jarama...
