Pipistrela

Bat

Pipistrela

He's the button from the corner of the houseEr' botón de la esquina de casa
When I go out to sweep the sidewalkCuando salgo a barrera la verera
The rascal approaches me and saysMe se acerca el canalla y me dice
Shh! Bat! Shh! Bat!¡Pts! ¡pipistrela! ¡pts! ¡pipistrela!
I have a guy in the market who looks at meTengo un coso ar mercau que me mira
He's a smooth-talking ItalianEs un tano engrupido'e crioyo
I raise my eyes upYo le pongo lo' ojo' p'arriba
And meanwhile, I steal a glanceY endemientra le afano un repoyo

They call me the batMe llaman la pipistrela
And I let myself be calledY yo me dejo llamar
It's better to play the foolEs mejor pasar por gila¡
If one is truly smartSi una es viva de verdá
I'm a girl with classSoy una piba con clase
Look at what a beautiful womanManyen qué linda mujer
The appearance that God has given me¡La pinta que Dios me ha dado
I have to make it count!La tengo que hacer valer!

I'm tired of so many waitersYa estoy seca de tantos mucamos
Cooks, buttons, and guardsCocineros, botones y juardas
I spend my life waitingYo me paso la vida esperando
And he doesn't come... The foolY no viene... El otario
I wish I had a lot of moneyYo quisiera tener mucho vento
To buy a hat, shoesPa'comprarme sombrero, zapato
To get something from downtownAniaparme algún coso del centro
To get rid of this bunch of ducksPa' largar esta manga de patos

They call me the batMe llaman la pipistrela
And I let myself be calledY yo me dejo llamar
It's better to play the foolEs mejor pasar por gila
If one is truly smartSi una es viva de verdá
I'm a girl with classSoy una chica con clase
Look at what a beautiful womanManyen qué linda mujer
The appearance that God has given me¡La pinta que Dios me ha dado
I have to make it count!La tengo de hacer valer!
