La Tertulia
La otra noche fui de fiesta en casa de Julia
Se encontraba ya reunida la familia
Mari Pepa, Felícitas, Luz y Otilia
Y Camila, que alegraba la tertulia
Mientras Lupe daba al niño su mamila
Doña Cleta pidió un botella a Celia
Nos formó a los de confianza dos en fila
Y brindamos con charanda de Morelia
Después Amelia puso la vitrola
Y le tupimos a la danza, ahí, hechos bola
Había un cadete que celaba a Chelo
Más la canija con Gaspar se daba vuelo
Después nos dieron sangüichitos de jalea
A unos ponche y a los tristes Coca-Cola
Como la gata pa' servir ni se menea
Pa' la cocina yo me fui con mi charola
Aí me encontré con los amiguitos de Ofelia
Que a contrabando habían pasado su tequila
Nos aventamos unas copas tras la pila
Y por poquito, ya mero, nos cae Amelia
Luego pidieron que cantara Lola
Y soportamos: Ahí te doy la despedida
Después tía Cleta tocó la pianola
Pa' que no hablara le dimos buena aplaudida
Yo me hice fuerte y les canté Una carta a Eufemia
Que me echo un gallo y un changuito me vacila
Que me le arranco, pero me detuvo Ugenia
Si no en el limbo ya estuviera haciendo fila
Pero ya estaba digerida la jalea
Pos la mujer del general me hacía la bola
Fue con el chisme la metiche de Carola
Y vino el viejo y que comienza la pelea
Se armó el relajo, sacó su pistola
Yo, precavido, me escondí tras la pianola
Vino la Julia, que llamó Carola
Y pa' la cárcel nos llevaron hechos bola
The Gathering
The other night I went to a party at Julia's place
The family was already gathered there
Mari Pepa, Felícitas, Luz, and Otilia
And Camila, who brightened up the gathering
While Lupe was feeding the baby his bottle
Doña Cleta asked Celia for a bottle
She lined us trusted ones up in a row
And we toasted with charanda from Morelia
Then Amelia put on the record player
And we jumped into the dance, all tangled up
There was a cadet who was eyeing Chelo
But the little minx was having a blast with Gaspar
Then they served us little jelly sandwiches
Some got punch and the sad ones got Coca-Cola
Like a cat, she didn’t budge to serve
I went to the kitchen with my tray
There I ran into Ofelia's little friends
Who had smuggled in their tequila
We downed a few shots by the sink
And almost got caught by Amelia
Then they asked Lola to sing
And we endured: Here’s your farewell
Then Aunt Cleta played the piano
To keep her quiet, we gave a big round of applause
I got bold and sang 'A Letter to Eufemia'
That I got a rooster and a monkey's teasing me
I was about to go for it, but Eugenia stopped me
Otherwise, I’d be in limbo waiting in line
But the jelly was already settling
So the general's wife was making a scene
The nosy Carola brought the gossip
And then the old man came in and the fight started
It got chaotic, he pulled out his gun
I, being cautious, hid behind the piano
Julia came in, calling for Carola
And we were taken to jail all tangled up
