Hace un mes que estoy a dieta y esta noche usted vera
It's been a month since I've been on a diet, and tonight you'll see
ya usted verá
you'll see
ya usted verá
you'll see
porque yo cuando la cojo sigo hasta la madrugá
because when I get into it, I keep going until dawn
ya usted verá,
you'll see
ya usted verá
you'll see
hoy es sabado mañana es dia de fiesta esta noche yo me voy emborrachar
today is Saturday, tomorrow is a holiday, tonight I'm going to get drunk
mañana es un día de fiesta no me lo discuta usted
tomorrow is a holiday, don't argue with me
pero mañana es un día de fiesta... no me lo discuta usted
but tomorrow is a holiday... don't argue with me
que yo tengo el almanaque en español y en ingles
because I have the calendar in Spanish and in English
pero mañana es domingo de san
but tomorrow is San Sunday
garavito me pico de gallo, de gallo montero
Garavito gave me 'pico de gallo', from the Monteros
paso un caballero vendiendo romero
A gentleman passed by selling rosemary
le pedi un poquito para mi pollito
I asked for a little for my little chicken
no me lo quiso dar que yo me eche a llorar
He didn't want to give it to me, and I started to cry
cogio un garrotico y me hizo callar mañana
He grabbed a little stick and made me quiet
es un día de fiesta no... me lo discuta usted
Tomorrow's a day of celebration, don't argue with me
mañana es un dia de fiesta no... me lo discuta usted
Tomorrow's a day of celebration, don't argue with me
hace un mes que estoy a dieta y esta noche usted verá
It's been a month that I've been on a diet, and tonight you'll see
y que yo cuando la cojo sigo hasta la madrugá
And when I get it, I keep going until dawn
ya usted verá,
you'll see,
ya usted verá
you'll see.

it's been a month, a month since I've been on a diet and
