The Black Man Is Cooking

El Negro Esta Cocinado

Don't knock on my doorQue no me toquen la puerta
The black man is cookingQ'El negro esta cocinando
He's seasoning the meatQ'esta adobando la carne
And the yuca is softeningY la yuca se esta ablandando

I always stay home on Sundays to restSiempre los domingos me quedo en casa para descansar
I prepare the potato, a guest will always comePrearo la papa una invitada siempre vendra
I've been divorced for four years, not connecting with anyoneYo soy divorciado hace cuatro anos, no connen na
But look how my heart all the neighbors want to tastePero mira como mi serzon todas las vecinas quieren probar

My neighbor Paoa smells the aroma of the meatMi vecina paoa siente el aroma que da la carne
She wants to taste it but she doesn't dare because she's very timidLa quiere probar pero no se atrene porque ella es muy cabarde
She already tried the yuca I made last weekYa probo la yuca que yo hize la semana pasada
She ate three plates, didn't get full, and now she wants grilled meatSe comio tres platos, no se lleno, y ahora quiere carne asada

When I prepare with my guest for dinnerCuando me preparo con mi invitada para cenar
And she eats the plantain because she likes it to startY se come el platano pues le gusta para empezar
I feel like someone is knocking on the door as if they were beastsSiento que la puerta la tocan como si fueran fieras
It's little Elena shouting, 'Pedrito, don't leave me alone.'Es la nina Elena gritando Pedrito no me dejes sola.
