They made a piñataLe hicieron una piñata

All high-profile peopleA pura gente de talla
Clients very well distinguishedClientes muy bien distinguidos

The day of the party arrivedSe llego el día de la fiesta
Everyone showed up earlyTodos llegaron temprano
And before the sun went downY antes de meterse el Sol
They broke the big piñataLa gran piñata quebraron
Inside it had no candyAdentro no tenía dulces
But it had something more expensivePero tenía algo más caro
Just bags filled with goodiesPura bolsita surtida
From the wild animalsDe los animales bravos

When the piñata fellCuando cayo la piñata
A crowd formed around itSe hizo una bola de gente
They looked like kindergarten kidsParecen niño de kinder
Fighting for their toyPeleando por su juguete
They knew that in the bagsSabían que en las bolsitas
They were packed with good vibesVenian repletas de ambiente

Come on in for food, gentlemenPasenle a comer señores

They had dined on steakHabían cenado filete
Others couldn’t get enoughOtros no podían llenarse
Their appetite was too strongSu apetito era muy fuerte

It was the most expensive piñataFue la piñata más cara
