El Platanito

The Little Plantain

El Platanito

Why do you cry, little charapitaPorque lloras charapita
If your husband is not deadSi tu marido no ha muerto
If you want your little plantainSi quieres tu platanito
I will give it to you at nightEn la noche te dare yo

Don't play dumbNo te hagas la loquita
You're not crying for your husbandNo lloras por tu marido
You cry for his little plantainLloras por su platanito

The scoundrel is the biggestEl bellaco es el más grande
It's what you like the mostEs lo que a ti te gusta más
The little guava plantainEl platanito guayabo

Listen to me, charapita, how you like my little plantainOyeme charapita, como te gusta mi platanito
And the songs in my room, harmony 10Y las canciones de mi pieza, armonia 10

There are green and ripe plantainsHay platanito verde y maduro
There are green and ripe plantainsHay platanito verde y maduro (x2)
