Don't Be a Liar

Conjunto Quisqueya

No Seas Mentiroso

Tengo una puerca preciosa
Con diecinueve lechones diez hembras
Y ocho varones y una que ha salió dudosa
La cabra más orgullosa, la tengo amarrada en casa

Saluda a todo el que pasa (jesu) al estilo militar
Y después se va a fumar para el banco de la plaza
Y después se va a fumar para el banco de la plaza

Olleme tavin no seas mentiroso
Hua hua eso que tu dices ta bien dudoso
Olleme tavin no seas mentiroso hua hua
Eso que tu dices ta bien dudoso

Señores tengo una vaca, que compré en el treinta y ocho
Y siempre pone un biscocho al ladito de la estaca
Tengo una gallina flaca, que la compre en guallavilla
Se encarama en las tablillas, pone huevo de guinea
Y vete y vete paque la vea ta escribiendo en maquinilla iracundo
Y vete paque la vea ta escribiendo en maquinilla

Olleme tavin no seas mentiroso
Hua hua eso que tu dices ta bien dudoso
Olleme tavin no seas mentiroso
Hua hua eso que tu dices ta bien dudoso

Yo tengo en casa una iguana, que traje de curacao
Oiga doña y le bajo el soberao cinco días a la semana
Tengo una perra alemana, que sabe tocar trompeta
Yo tengo una gallareta, grande que sabe ordeñar
Y de cada costillar yo le saco una chuleta
Y de cada costillar yo le saco una chuleta y me las vende tó

Olleme tavin no seas mentiroso
Hua hua eso que tu dices ta bien dudoso
Olleme tavin no seas mentiroso
Hua hua eso que tu dices ta bien dudoso

Compre en isabela un gallo, orgullo del gallinero
Y es porque canta un bolero sin música y sin ensayo
también yo tengo un caballo, que compre en santa Isabel
Es más lindo que un clavel, desde el rabo hasta el josico mira

Y no hay llegua en Puerto Rico que no tenga un hijo de él
Y no hay llegua en Puerto Rico que no tenga un hijo de él
¿Que iracundo he?

Olleme tavin no seas mentiroso
Hua hua eso que tu dices ta bien dudoso
Olleme tavin no seas mentiroso
Hua hua eso que tu dices ta bien dudoso
Dios mi será un espíritu

Don't Be a Liar

I got a beautiful sow
With nineteen piglets, ten females
And eight males and one that came out doubtful
The proudest goat, I have her tied up at home

She greets everyone who passes by (jesu) in a military style
And then goes to smoke by the bench in the square
And then goes to smoke by the bench in the square

Listen to me, Tavin, don't be a liar
Hua hua, what you're saying sounds very doubtful
Listen to me, Tavin, don't be a liar, hua hua
What you're saying sounds very doubtful

Gentlemen, I have a cow, that I bought in '38
And always puts a biscuit next to the stake
I have a skinny hen, that I bought in Guallavilla
She climbs on the slats, lays guinea eggs
And go and go so you can see, writing furiously on the typewriter
And go so you can see, writing on the typewriter

Listen to me, Tavin, don't be a liar
Hua hua, what you're saying sounds very doubtful
Listen to me, Tavin, don't be a liar
Hua hua, what you're saying sounds very doubtful

I have an iguana at home, that I brought from Curacao
Listen ma'am, and I lower the heat five days a week
I have a German female dog, that knows how to play the trumpet
I have a big hen, that knows how to milk
And from each rib I take a chop
And from each rib I take a chop and sell them all

Listen to me, Tavin, don't be a liar
Hua hua, what you're saying sounds very doubtful
Listen to me, Tavin, don't be a liar
Hua hua, what you're saying sounds very doubtful

I bought a rooster in Isabela, pride of the henhouse
And it's because he sings a bolero without music and rehearsal
I also have a horse, that I bought in Santa Isabel
He's prettier than a carnation, from tail to snout look

And there's no mare in Puerto Rico that doesn't have a foal from him
And there's no mare in Puerto Rico that doesn't have a foal from him
What a fury, huh?

Listen to me, Tavin, don't be a liar
Hua hua, what you're saying sounds very doubtful
Listen to me, Tavin, don't be a liar
Hua hua, what you're saying sounds very doubtful
God, I'll be a spirit
