Se va el Caimán
Anda corriendo un relato,
con cuidado y con afán,
en la población de "El Plato",
se volvió un hombre caimán.
Se va el caimán, se va el caimán,
se va para Barranquilla,
comiendo pan, comiendo pan,
untado con mantequilla.
Lo que come este caimán,
es digno de admiración,
come queso y come pan
y bebe tragos de ron.
Se va el caimán, se va el caimán,
se va para Barranquilla,
comiendo pan, comiendo pan,
untado con mantequilla.
Una vieja y un viejito,
se cayeron en un pozo
y la viejita decía,
¡ay!... qué pozo tan sabroso.
Se va el caimán, se va el caimán,
se va para Barranquilla,
comiendo pan, comiendo pan,
untado con mantequilla.
The Caiman is Leaving
A story is running,
with care and eagerness,
in the town of 'El Plato',
he became a caiman man.
The caiman is leaving, the caiman is leaving,
he's going to Barranquilla,
eating bread, eating bread,
spread with butter.
What this caiman eats,
is worthy of admiration,
he eats cheese and eats bread
and drinks shots of rum.
The caiman is leaving, the caiman is leaving,
he's going to Barranquilla,
eating bread, eating bread,
spread with butter.
An old lady and an old man,
fell into a well
and the old lady said,
'Oh!... what a tasty well.'
The caiman is leaving, the caiman is leaving,
he's going to Barranquilla,
eating bread, eating bread,
spread with butter.
