Ella es bailarina
She is a dancer
Ella es bailarina
She is a dancer
Y sabe todo lo que debe saber
And she knows everything she needs to know
Pero todavía hay algo que no pudo hacer
But there's still something she couldn't do
Es un buen maestro
He is a good teacher
Es un buen maestro
He is a good teacher
Y sabe todo lo que debe saber
And he knows everything he needs to know
Pero todavía hay algo que no pudo aprender
But there's still something he couldn't learn
Ella se saca la estola de visón
She takes off the mink stole
Y el soutien dorado, y el soutien dorado
And the golden bra, and the golden bra
Él pone fuego en el calefón
He sets fire to the water heater
Y juntos se bañan los dos
And together they bathe both
Es un policía
He's a police officer
Es un policía
He's a police officer
Y siempre cumple con su justo deber
And he always fulfills his rightful duty
Pero todavía hay algo que no pudo hacer (que no pudo hacer)
But there’s still something he couldn't do (he couldn't do)
Cuando el maestro debe ir a estudiar
When the teacher must go study
Llega el azulado, llega el azulado
The blue one arrives, the blue one arrives
Deja la guardia en la seccional
He leaves the guard at the precinct
Tan solo para verla bailar
Just to see her dance
Es un sacerdote
He's a priest
Es un sacerdote
He's a priest
Y siempre cumple con su santo deber
And he always fulfills his holy duty
En un club nocturno reventado los casó a los tres (los casó a los tres)
In a wild nightclub, he married all three of them (he married all three of them)
En un club nocturno reventado los casó a los tres
In a wild nightclub, he married all three of them
En un club nocturno reventado los casó a los tres (los casó a los tres)
In a wild nightclub, he married all three of them (he married all three of them)
