Lyrics
Mucho cuidado señores
Porque la muerte anda lista
En el Panteón de Dolores
Ya nos tiene una pocita
Para los compositores
Y uno que otro periodista
Licenciados y doctores
Todos están en la lista
Tuku tuku tiki taka
Que recanija calaca
Cuando menos lo pensamos
Nos hace estirar la pata
Yo me le escape una vez
Pero por poco y me atrapa
La muerte no enseña el cobre
Tampoco hace distinciones
Lo mismo se lleva al pobre
Que al rico con sus millones
Uno va en estuche de oro
Y el otro en puros calzones
Pero pasadito el tiempo
Quedan igual de pelones
Tuku tuku tiki taka
Que recanija calaca
Debiles y poderosos
De morir nadie se escapa
Llevamos el mismo fin
En petate o en petaca
Yo conoci un comerciante
Bueno pa robar al cliente
Las cosas que valen cinco
El siempre las daba a veinte
Pero se murio de frio hay!
Pobrecito de repente
Lo mandaron al infierno
Pa que el diablo lo caliente
Tuku tuku tiki taka
Que recanija calaca
A todos esos careros
Llevatelos de corbata
Indeseables usureros
Chupan como garrapatas
El obrero gana el pan
Con el sudor de su frente
Para que sus hijos coman
Aunque no lo suficiente
Mientras muchos abusivos
Viven violando las leyes
Ganando lo que ellos quieren
Por andarse haciendo. bueeeyesss!
Tuku tuku tiki taca
Que recanija calaca
Yo les pido una disculpa
Si es que ya meti la pata
Aunque son muy parecidos
No es lo mismo buey que vaca
La balanza de la vida
Esta muy desnivelada
Hay pocos que ganan mucho
Y muchos no ganan nada
El trabajo del obrero
No tiene compensaciones
Con esto del minisueldo
No alcanza ni pa ca. miones
Tuku tuku tiki taca
Que recanija calaca
Si tu …
Ruegale que no sea ingrato
Pa que el costo de la vida
Se nos ponga mas barato
Mucho cuidado señores
Los que ya son votadores
Ahi viene las elecciones
Con sus manipuladores
Y cada partido dice
Que votar por ellos debes
Y que de aqui en adelante
Nos daran vida de… .reyes
No?
Tuku tuku tiki taca
Que recanija calaca
Ahi viene otro presidente
A sonarnos la matraca
Viene prometiendo mucho
Pero dara pura…
Tuku tuku tiki tacaaaa…
Lyrics translation
Very careful gentlemen
Because death is ready
In the pantheon of Dolores
He's got us a little bit.
For composers
And one than another journalist
Graduates and doctors
They're all on the list.
Tuku tuku tiki taka
That recanija calaca
When we least think about it
Makes us stretch our legs
I escape him once
But close and catches me
Death doesn't teach copper
It doesn't make distinctions either
The same goes for the poor
Than the rich with their millions
One goes in gold case
And the other in pure panties
But time passed
They're just like pelones.
Tuku tuku tiki taka
That recanija calaca
Weak and powerful
No one escapes from dying
We have the same end
In petate or in petaca
I met a merchant
Well pa steal the customer
Things worth five
He always gave them to twenty
But he died of cold there!
Poor thing suddenly
They sent him to hell.
♪ For the devil to warm him up ♪
Tuku tuku tiki taka
That recanija calaca
To all those careros
Wear them in a tie
Undesirable usurers
They suck like ticks
The worker wins the bread
With the sweat of his forehead
For your children to eat
Although not enough
While many abusers
They live in violation of the laws
Earning what they want
For doing it. bueeeyesss!
Tuku tuku tiki taca
That recanija calaca
I apologize.
If I've already screwed up
Although they are very similar
It's not the same Ox as cow
The balance of life
It is very uneven
There are few who earn a lot
And many don't earn anything
The work of the worker
No compensation
With this minisud
It's not even enough. mions
Tuku tuku tiki taca
That recanija calaca
And you …
Beg him not to be ungrateful
Pa that the cost of living
Get us cheaper
Very careful gentlemen
Those who are already voters
Here Comes the election
With their manipulators
And every game says
To vote for them you must
And that from here on out
They'll give us life of...king
No?
Tuku tuku tiki taca
That recanija calaca
Here comes another president
Let's blow the flask
He's been promising a lot.
But it will be pure…
Tuku tuku tiki tacaaaa…
