Le Dije a Papa
Parapa parapa, parapa parapa, parapa parapapapa
Este ritmo de negros, este ritmo sabroso
Este ritmo festejo aquí
Yo no había nacido cuando este llego
Lo hizo un negro que lo conozco yo
Paraparpa parapapa parapapa pararapa
Lo hizo Porfirio Vásquez ese gran señor
Lo hizo con mucho arte
Y ahora lo canto yo, lo canto yo
Cuando era pequeña yo le dije a papa
Yo quiero cantar, yo quiero tocar
Le dije a papa yo quiero ser como tú
Le dije a papa, yo quiero cantar
Le dije a papa yo quiero cantar, yo quiero tocar
Le dije a papa (le dije a papa)
Quiero ser tan buena como lo eres tú
Le dije a papa (le dije a papa)
Ahora canto ahora toco
Y doy gracias a papa que pueda cantar
Que pueda tocar
Le dije a papa yo quiero cantar
Le dije a papa quiero ser como tú
Le dije a papa, le dije a papa, le dije a papa
I Told Dad
Parapa parapa, parapa parapa, parapa parapapapa
This rhythm of blacks, this tasty rhythm
This festive rhythm here
I wasn't born when this arrived
It was made by a black man I know
Paraparpa parapapa parapapa pararapa
It was made by Porfirio Vásquez, that great man
He made it with great art
And now I sing it, I sing it
When I was little I told dad
I want to sing, I want to play
I told dad I want to be like you
I told dad, I want to sing
I told dad I want to sing, I want to play
I told dad (I told dad)
I want to be as good as you are
I told dad (I told dad)
Now I sing now I play
And I thank dad that I can sing
That I can play
I told dad I want to sing
I told dad I want to be like you
I told dad, I told dad, I told dad
