Machala Machala

He always lay down and started to thinkSiempre se ha acostado y se ponia a a pensar
That he didn’t want to be like them and began to dreamQue no queria ser como ellos y empesaba a soñar
Of a big mansion with seven thousand servantsCon una gran mansion como con 7 mil sirvientes
Visited by ministers and also by presidentsVisitado por ministros y tambien por presidentes

Presidents, ahh, presidents, ahhPresidentes ahh, presidentes ahh

He prayed and talked about luxuries and expensive thingsOró y hablo de lujos y de cosas muy costosas
Sports cars and women who were more than just eye candyCarros deportivos y mujeres mas que muy frondosas
Tons of friends with beepers and cell phonesMuchisimos amigos con beeper y celular
But none of those guys had any happinessPero ninguno de los maes tenia felicidad

Happiness, happinessFelicidad felicidad

That dream ran out and he lit a cigaretteSe le acabo ese sueño y un cigarro encendio
And he said, 'Wow, what luck, what luck that it’s not me'Y se dijo uy que suerte, que suerte q no soy yo
Thinking again, his cigarette went outPensando nuevamente su cigarro se apago
And as he closed his eyes, he softly whisperedY al cerrar sus ojos suavemente susurro

Machala machala, may God not punish meMachala machala que dios no me castigue
With money, with jewels, or with too many luxuriesCon dinero, con joyas ni con muchos lujos
Of course, of course, don’t let me forgetClaro esta, claro esta que no se le olvide
To punish me with women and with lots of wine and rumCastigarme con mujeres y con mucho vino y ron

These days he lies down and starts to meditateHoy dia el se acuesta y se pone a meditar
On what he has within reach and doesn’t let it slip awayDe lo que tiene a su alcanze y no lo deja escapar
A lot of fun and almost always with his crewMucha diversion y casi siempre con su gente
Far from dreaming of what doesn’t belong to himAlejado de soñar con lo que no le pertenece

Belonging, ahhhhhhh, belonging, ahhhhhhhhPertenece ahhhhhhh pertenece ahhhhhhhh
