Lyrics

Quítate de la vía perico
fíjate que ahí viene el tren
quítate de la vía perico
que ahí viene el tren
Y quítate de la vía perico
que ahí viene el tren
y luego no vaya a decir
que a ti no te lo advirtieron
Pero después no vaya a decir
que a ti no te lo advirtieron
Pero quítate de la vía perico
que ahí viene el tren
y quítate de la vía perico
que ahí viene el tren
Quítate perico, húyele, húyele
(si yo llego saber que perico era sordo, yo paro el tren)
perico, perico, perico
por sordo lo mató el tren al pobre perico
Óyeme, Mariqui
si yo llego a saber que perico era sordo, paro el tren
y no mato a perico
Uy periquito mangua, periquito manguan
periquito manguan manganzón
por sordo lo mató el tren al pobre perico
Epa, perico
dale, epa, pa' lante perico fuera
María Lao, buena
mira que si yo llego a saber que perico era sordo, paro el tren
y no mato a perico
Perico, perico, perico, perico, perico, perico
perico, perico, perico, por sordo lo mató el tren
perico, el pobre perico
Y la Lao, perico
mira estaba comiendo caña en la vía
y no vio el tren el pobre perico
Periquito, periquito, periquito, periquito, periquito
periquito, periquito, periquito, llévala
Oye, Ismaelito junior
viste por más que se lo dije a perico
y se llamaba perico
descanse en paz…
que bueno…

Lyrics translation

Get off the perico track.
Here Comes the train.
get off the perico track.
Here Comes the train
And get off the perico track.
Here Comes the train
and then don't go saying
they didn't warn you.
But then don't go and say
they didn't warn you.
But get out of the way perico
Here Comes the train
and get off the perico track.
Here Comes the train
Get off, perico, hush him, hush him
(if I get to know that perico was deaf, I stop the train)
parakeet, parakeet, parakeet
the train killed poor parrot because he was deaf
Listen To Me, Mariqui.
if I get to know that perico was deaf, I stop the train
and I didn't kill perico.
Manguan parakeet, manguan parakeet
mangrove parakeet
the train killed poor parrot because he was deaf
Epa, perico
dale, epa, PA'lante perico out
Maria Lao, good
look, if I get to know that perico was deaf, I stop the train
and I didn't kill perico.
Parakeet, parakeet, parakeet, parakeet, parakeet
parakeet, parakeet, parakeet, for deaf the train killed him
parakeet, poor parakeet
And Lao, perico
look I was eating cane on the track
and poor parrot didn't see the train
Parakeet, parakeet, parakeet, parakeet, parakeet
parakeet, parakeet, parakeet, take her
Hey, Ismaelito junior.
you saw how much I told perico.
and his name was perico
rest in peace…
that's good.…
