La Flaca

The Skinny

La Flaca

In life, I metEn la vida, conocí
Woman same as the skinnyMujer igual a la flaca
Black coral from HavanaCoral negro de la Habana
Tremendous mulattoTremendísima mulata
One hundred pounds of skin and boneCien libras de piel y hueso
Forty kilos of sauceCuarenta kilos de salsa
And, on the face, two sunsY, en la cara, dos soles
That, without words, speakQue, sin palabras, hablan
That, without words, speakQue, sin palabras, hablan

The skinny sleeps during the dayLa flaca duerme de día
She says that this way hunger deceivesDice que así el hambre engaña
And when night fallsY cuando cae la noche
She comes down to the tavernBaja a bailar a la tasca
And dance and danceY bailar y bailar
And drink and drinkY tomar y tomar
One beer after anotherUna cerveza tras otra
But she never gets fatPero ella nunca engorda
But she never gets fatPero ella nunca engorda

For a kiss from the skinny, I would give anythingPor un beso de la flaca, daría lo que fuera
For a kiss from her, even if it was only onePor un beso de ella, aunque solo uno fuera
For a kiss from the skinny, I would give anythingPor un beso de la flaca, daría lo que fuera
For a kiss from her, even if it was only onePor un beso de ella, aunque solo uno fuera

Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera

I wet my white sheetsMojé mis sábanas blancas
As the song saysComo dice la canción
Remembering the caressesRecordando las caricias
Sha gave me the first dayQue me brindó el primer día
And I'm crazy with desireY enloquezco de ganas
To sleep on her sideDe dormir a su ladito
Because, God, this skinnyPorque, Dios, que esta flaca
Makes me go crazy, ohA mí me tiene loquito, oh
Makes me go crazyA mí me tiene loquito

For a kiss from the skinny girl, I would give anythingPor un beso de la flaca, yo daría lo que fuera
For a kiss from her, even if it was only onePor un beso de ella, aunque solo uno fuera
For a kiss from the skinny girl, I would give anythingPor un beso de la flaca, yo daría lo que fuera
For a kiss from her, even if it was only onePor un beso de ella, aunque solo uno fuera

Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera
Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera
Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera
Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera

Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera
Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera

Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera
Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera
Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera
Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera

Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera
Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera
Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera

Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera
Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera
Even if it was only oneAunque solo uno fuera
