Lyrics
Mercedes se está bañando en las orillas de un río
Mis ojos la están mirando, pero es de un amigo mío
Yo no quisiera mirarla pero no tengo la culpa
Se parece a una esmeralda con flores de chupa chupa
Que yo le avise a mi amigo, muy difícil me resulta
Yo no quisiera mirarla pero no tengo la culpa
Se parece a una esmeralda con flores de chupa chupa
Que yo le avise a mi amigo, muy difícil me resulta
Allá hay un caimán ceba’o que mide más de una cuadra
Con más cachos que un venado y más dientes que 20 babas
Ella inocente de todo se baña sin percatarse
Que cuando llegue al recodo el caimán puede acercarse
Y yo solo en la barranca, y Mercedes sin fijarse
Ella inocente de todo se baña sin percatarse
Que cuando llegue al recodo el caimán puede acercarse
Y yo solo en la barranca, y Mercedes sin fijarse
Me voy corriendo a su casa pa que mi amigo lo sepa
Le echaré una cantaleta y le digo lo que pasa
Que hay un inmenso peligro que corre allí su mujer
Que se lo dice un amigo, que algo tenemos que hacer
Que vaya pronto a salvarla, y de ñapa voy con el
Que hay un inmenso peligro que corre allí su mujer
Que se lo dice un amigo, que algo tenemos que hacer
Que vaya pronto a salvarla, y de ñapa voy con el
Cuando llegamos al pozo la mujer no se veía
El caimán patas arriba, dormía de lo más sabroso
Le di el pésame en el acto y abrazándolo le digo
Eso pasa a cada rato, que son cosas del destino
Y que de aquí en adelante
Que cuente con un amigo
Le di el pésame en el acto y abrazándolo le digo
Eso pasa a cada rato, que son cosas del destino
Y que de aquí en adelante
Que cuente con un amigo
Lyrics translation
Mercedes is bathing on the banks of a river
My eyes are looking at it, but it's from a friend of mine
I don't want to look at her, but it's not my fault.
It looks like an emerald with flowers of chupa chupa
That I warn my friend, it is very difficult for me
I don't want to look at her, but it's not my fault.
It looks like an emerald with flowers of chupa chupa
That I warn my friend, it is very difficult for me
There's a Ceba'o Cayman over there.
With more curls than a deer and more teeth than 20 drools
She innocent of everything bathes without noticing
That when it reaches the bend the alligator can approach
And I alone in the ravine, and Mercedes without noticing
She innocent of everything bathes without noticing
That when it reaches the bend the alligator can approach
And I alone in the ravine, and Mercedes without noticing
I'm running to his house for my friend to know.
I'll give him a cantaleta and tell him what's going on.
That there is an immense danger that runs there his wife
What a friend tells you, that something we have to do
That I go soon to save her, and from Rhea I go with him
That there is an immense danger that runs there his wife
What a friend tells you, that something we have to do
That I go soon to save her, and from Rhea I go with him
When we got to the well the woman couldn't see
The alligator upside down, slept the most tasty
I gave him my condolences on the spot and hugging him I say
That happens every time, which are things of Destiny
And that from here on out
Have a friend
I gave him my condolences on the spot and hugging him I say
That happens every time, which are things of Destiny
And that from here on out
Have a friend
