Mi Suegro

My Father-in-Law

Mi Suegro

Last night I went out to find youAnoche salí a buscarte
And your old man came out to watchY tu viejo salió a mirar
The crazy man was saying insideEl loco decía por dentro
Dude, you're not getting in hereGuaso acá no vas a entrar
This black man in loveEste negro enamorado
Was going to find a wayAlguna forma iba a encontrar
Because when love strikesPorque si el amor golpea
You can't let it passNo lo podés dejar pasar
BecausePorque

My father-in-law is pissedMi suegro esta ensañado
And he doesn't want me in loveY no me quiere enamorado
BecausePorque

I don't have a jobYo no tengo trabajo
And I'm already used to itY ya estoy aconstumbrado
BecausePorque

I bring wine, I bring beerLlevo vino, llevo birra
And a ring for your daughterY un anillo pa' tu hija
Let me in, dear father-in-lawDejame pasar suegrito
So I don't end up so frustratedAsí no quedo tan manija

I understand that I'm blackYo entiendo que soy negrito
And it can't be avoidedY no se puede evitar
Tired of so much talkCansado de tanta charla
Please let me inPor favor deja pasar
Neither slow nor lazyNi lerdo ni perezoso
I could offer a beerUna birra podría invitar
Your daughter is very prettySu hija es muy bonita
And I'll take her to the altarY la llevo hasta el altar
BecausePorque
