El Paletero

The Ice Cream Vendor

El Paletero

Don't say you don't like meNo digas que no te gusto
Because you've never tried mePorque nunca me has probado
The little kisses from my lipsLos besitos de mis labios
Are well... guaranteedEstán bien… garantizados

Don't say you don't love meNo digas que no me quieres
Because you've never treated mePorque nunca me has tratado
I know you run the riskSe que corres el peligro
Of being mine all overDe ser mía por todos lados

I don't have a bikeYo no traigo bicicleta
Much less a truckMucho menos camioneta
But it's not a problemPero no es inconveniente
If you want to take a rideSi quieres dar una vuelta

I'm short on moneyAndo escaso de dinero
But if you want popsiclesPero si quieres paletas
If you want a popsicleSi quieres una paleta
My friend is the ice cream vendorEs mi amigo el paletero

I'm a good guySoy buen muchacho
You don't have to despise meNo tienes porque despreciarme
And ignore me all the timeE ignorarme a cada rato

I'm a really good guySoy muy buen tipo
They've told you I'm a womanizerTe han dicho que soy mujeriego
Well, I'll explain laterHay luego te explico

The truth is I have my reputationLa verdad tengo mi fama
But it's a lie that my intentionsPero es mentira que mis intenciones
Are to have you in my bedSon tenerte en mi cama
(and although looking at it well(y aunque viéndola bien
It's not a bad ideaNo es mala idea
Sweetie)Chiquita)
