En la vida conocí mujer igual a la flaca
In life, I met a woman like the thin one
Coral negro de La Habana, tremendísima mulata
Black coral from Havana, an incredibly stunning mulata
Cien libras de piel y hueso, cuarenta kilos de salsa
One hundred pounds of skin and bone, forty kilos of salsa
Y en la cara, dos soles que sin palabras hablan
And on her face, two suns that speak without words
Que sin palabras hablan
That speak without words
La flaca duerme de día, dice que así el hambre engaña
The thin one sleeps during the day, says it tricks her hunger
Y cuando cae la noche, baja a bailar a la tasca
And when night falls, she goes down to dance at the tavern
Y bailar y bailar, y tomar y tomar
And dance and dance, and drink and drink
Una cerveza tras otra, pero ella nunca engorda
One beer after another, but she never gains weight
Pero ella nunca engorda
But she never gains weight
Por un beso de la flaca, daría lo que fuera
For a kiss from the girl, I would give anything
Por un beso de ella, aunque solo uno fuera
For a kiss from her, even if it were just one
Por un beso de la flaca, daría lo que fuera
For a kiss from the girl, I would give anything
Por un beso de ella, aunque solo uno fuera
For a kiss from her, even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Mojé mis sábanas blancas, como dice la canción
I soaked my white sheets, just like the song says
Recordando las caricias que me brindó el primer día
Remembering the caresses she gave me on the first day
Y enloquezco de ganas de dormir a su ladito
And I go crazy with the desire to sleep by her side
Porque, Dios, que esta flaca a mí me tiene loquito, oh-oh
Because, God, this girl has me all crazy, oh-oh
A mí me tiene loquito
She has me all crazy
Por un beso de la flaca, yo daría lo que fuera
For a kiss from the girl, I'd give anything at all
Por un beso de ella, aunque solo uno fuera
For a kiss from her, even if it were just one
Por un beso de la flaca, yo daría lo que fuera
For a kiss from the girl, I'd give anything at all
Por un beso de ella, aunque solo uno fuera
For a kiss from her, even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
Aunque solo uno fuera
Even if it were just one
