Ay! Maye me mandó a llamar
Oh! Maye called for me
Como que me quiere ver
Seems like she wants to see me
Acabo e'vení de allá y ya me mando a llama otra vez (bis)
I just came back from there and she called me again (repeat)
Maye me mandó a llamar, sé lo que me a decir
Maye called for me, I know what she’s going to say
Me acabo de levantar, quiere que vuelva a dormir (bis)
I just got up, she wants me to go back to sleep (repeat)
Ay! Tranquilízate Maye
Oh! Calm down, Maye
Deja a Rafael tranquilo (bis)
Leave Rafael alone (repeat)
Que no me gasto por la calle
I don't waste myself on the street
Siempre te regreso lo mismo (bis)
I always bring you back the same (repeat)
Maye me mandó a llamar
Maye called for me
Yo estaba en el algodón
I was in the cotton
Vi un gusano en una flor y lo voy a fumigar
I saw a worm in a flower and I'm going to spray it
Pero la Maye no cree, que yo voy a fumigar
But Maye doesn't believe that I'm going to spray it
Acabo e'vení de allá y ya me mando a llamar otra vez
I just came back from there and she called me again
Las mujeres según ella, todas son de Rafael
According to her, all the women belong to Rafael
Pa'viví con esta pena, vivo solo y sin mujer (bis)
To live with this sorrow, I live alone and without a woman (repeat)
Lo que voy a contá ahora van a pensar que es locura
What I'm about to tell now will make them think I'm crazy
Porque salude a una monja me dijo metete a cura (bis)
Because I greeted a nun, she told me to become a priest (repeat)
