Las muchachas

The girls

Las muchachas

They tell me that the Cuban woman has fire in her waistMe dicen que la cubana tiene fuego en la cintura
dancing, no one beats her when a rumba playsbailando nadie le gana cuando repica una rumba
they say the Colombian woman has a small mouthcuentan que la colombiana tiene la boca chiquita
and they say the Peruvian woman has a pretty facey dicen que la peruana tiene la cara bonita
I know well that in Buenos Aires all the chicks are goodYo sé bien que en Buenos Aires todos los pollos son buenos
that there's nothing comparable to a Chilean chick.que no hay nada comparable con un pollito chileno.

But when I see a woman from HavanaPero cuando veo una habanera
my blood boilstoda la sangre se me alborota
and if I see a woman from Santiagoy si yo veo una santiaguera
then I really lose my mind.entonces sí que boto la pelota.

Like a woman from Pinar del Río and one from Viñales, buddyComo pinareña y la vinareña compay
there's none, there's none, there's noneno hay, no hay, no hay
the woman from Camagüey and the one from Santiago, buddyla camagüeyana y la santiaguera compay
there's none, there's none, there's noneno hay, no hay, no hay
and the woman from Havana and the one from Matanzas, buddyy la habanera y la matancera compay
there's none, there's none, there's noneno hay, no hay, no hay

Puerto Ricans, Nicaraguans,Puertorriqueñas, nicaragüenses,
Salvadorans, Costa Ricans,salvadoreñas, costarricenses,
Venezuelans and Colombians,venezolanas y colombianas,
with the Peruvians who dance the mostcon las peruanas que bailan más
