Juan El Cartero

Juan The Mailman

Juan El Cartero

Before midnight he never takes the last one of the dayAntes de la medianoche nunca toma la última del día
They say it's bad luck not to have money to payDicen que es de mala suerte no tener con que pagar
Before dawn he says he has to be in bedAntes que amanezca dice que tiene que estar en cama
He doesn't like to be looked down upon when he arrivesNo le gusta que lo miren cabizbajo al llegar
Even if he doesn't have money, he never worries about going to danceAunque no tenga dinero nunca se preocupa por ir a bailar

His name is JuanSe llama Juan

He likes to play music on the radio and he likes to danceLe gusta poner música en la radio y le gusta bailar
He puts on his patent leather shoes, because he likes to shineSe pone sus zapatos de charol, pues le gusta brillar
He leaves his house running around three o'clockSe sale de su casa corriendo como a eso de las tres
Because he wants to see his friends and spend the month's earningsPues quiere ver a sus amigos y gastarse lo del mes
Juan the mailman never brings money to payJuan el cartero nunca trae dinero con que pagar
Juan the mailman is always the first to danceJuan el cartero siempre es el primero para bailar
