El Mulato (Licenciado)

The Mulatto (Lawyer)

El Mulato (Licenciado)

I'm gonna put on my silk suitVo' a ponerme mi traje de seda
My shoes are gonna shineMis zapatos ya voy a brillar
I'm gonna grab my straw hatVo' a coger mi sombrero de paja
And head to town to have a good timeY pa'l pueblo me vo' a vacilar

When the lawyer walks into the partyCuando entre el licenciado a la fiesta
Everyone's gonna take a lookTodo el mundo lo va a contemplar
And the prettiest girl I findY la negra más linda que encuentre
I swear, I'm gonna make her mineTe aseguro, la vo' a enamorar

You say: Lawyer, you're getting oldDices tú: Licenciado, está viejo
And you don't know how to throw downY que plante no sabe tirar
But even if you try to knock me, you'll seePero aunque trates de criticarme, verás
The lawyer's gonna show up in townLicenciado a la fiesta va a llegar

It hurts that you don't understandMe duele que no comprendas
That if I don't go out to playQue si no salgo a pasear
It's 'cause you already feelEs porque tú ya te sientes
Incapable of having funIncapaz de vacilar

So just shut your mouthAsí que, pues cierra ya la boca
And don't say another wordY no digas una palabra más
'Cause even if you try to knock me, you'll seePorque aunque trates de criticarme, verás
The lawyer's gonna show up in townLicenciado a la fiesta va a llegar
