Oye
Hey
Yo conozco a unos amigos mios
I know some friends of mine
Que se le han pegado
Who have gotten stuck
Pirolo, Aló
Pirolo, hello
Ernesto y Cosío
Ernesto and Cosío
Y hasta el padre mío
And even my father
Temprano salió en su carro
He left early in his car
Iba camino de su trabajo
On his way to work
Que para él era algo sagrado, siempre
Which was something sacred to him, always
Pero se puso fatal
But things got bad
Esa mañana se iba a encontrar
That morning he was going to meet
Con alguien que lo iba a saldar, el pobre
Someone who would settle it, the poor guy
Fue una seña que le hicieron
It was a signal that they made him
Y paró
And he stopped
"¿Me podría usted llevar?" le dijeron
"Could you take me?" they said to him
"Yo voy para mi trabajo
"I'm going to my job
Y las guaguas no quieren parar"
And the buses don't want to stop"
"¿Pa' qué montó?"
"Why did you get on?"
Figúrese usted, qué lío
Just imagine, what a mess
Era una chica de veinte años
She was a twenty-year-old girl
De esas que sobran los comentarios, mira
Of those that leave no room for comments, look
Y el carro se desvió
And the car took a detour
Y no se sabe cuál fue la magia
And no one knows what the magic was
Que esa mañana fue pa' la playa
That morning was meant for the beach
El que nunca fallaba
The one who never missed
Ya usted lo ve
You can already see it
(Ya él se tiene la titimanía)
(He's already got the jitters)
Mejor llévese a su tía
Better take your aunt with you
Para no aguanten el compromiso de parar
So they don't have to bear the commitment to stop
(Ya él se tiene la titimanía)
(He's already got the jitters)
Es esa la enfermedad
It's that the illness
De los titi, y como hay caballero
Of the titi, and how there's a gentleman
(Ya él se tiene la titimanía)
(He's already got the titi-mania)
Comprale a Avelino, que dice Caruca
Buy it for Avelino, who says Caruca
Que a ti te va a agarrar
That it's going to catch you
(Ya él se tiene la titimanía)
(He's already got the titi-mania)
Figúrese usted que encontró una niña de veinte
Imagine that he found a twenty-year-old girl
De esas que sobran los comentarios
One of those that comments are overflowing
(Ya él se tiene la titimanía)
(He's already got the titi-mania)
Yo no sé qué me ha pasado
I don't know what has happened to me
Pero confieso, se me ha pegado
But I confess, it's stuck to me
(Ya él se tiene la titimanía)
(He already has the titimanía)
Yo sé que tiene, yo sé que tiene
I know he has it, I know he has it
Yo sé que tiene la titi, la titimanía
I know he has the titi, the titimanía
(Ya él se tiene la titimanía)
(He already has the titimanía)
Y desvió su maquinita
And he diverted his little machine
Y esa mañana se fue pa' la playita
And that morning he went to the beach
(Ya él se tiene la titimanía)
(He already has the titimanía)
Ay cuídate, que tú tienes la titi, la titimanía
Oh be careful, you have the titi, the titimanía
Titi tiene titimanía
Titi has titimanía
Titi tiene titimanía
Titi has a little obsession
Titi tiene titimanía
Titi has a little obsession
Titi tiene titimanía
Titi has a little obsession
Titi tiene titimanía
Titi has a little obsession
Titi tiene titimanía
Titi has a little obsession
Titi tiene titimanía
Titi has a little obsession
Yo voy cantando y me voy pirando esa titi
I'm singing and I'm gonna leave with that titi
Titi tiene titimanía
Titi has a little obsession
Quién me lo diría que tú serías la reina, la reina mía
Who would have told me that you would be the queen, my queen?
Titi tiene titimanía
Titi has a little obsession
Esa es la titi que no comprendo pero me ha llegado
That's the titi I don't understand but it has reached me
Titi tiene titimanía
Titi has a titi-mania
Ay que tú tienes mi titi linda
Oh, you have my cute titi
Ay que tú tienes de noche y de día
Oh, you have it night and day
Titi tiene titimanía
Titi has a titi-mania
Y ahora me voy pa' la playa con mi titi linda
And now I'm off to the beach with my cute titi
Titi tiene titimanía
Titi has a titi-mania
Titi tiene titimanía
Titi has a titi-mania
Titi tiene titimanía
Titi has a titi-mania
