Lyrics

CuÃ(c)ntame un cuento
Y veras que contento
Me voy a la cama
Y tengo lindos sueños
Pues resulta que era un rey
Que tenia tres hijas
Las metió en tres botijas
Y las tapo con pez
Y las pobres princesitas
Lloraban desconsoladas
Y su padre les gritaba
Que por favor se callaran
CuÃ(c)ntame un cuento
Las princesas se escaparon
Por un hueco que existía
Que las llevo hasta la vía
Del tren que va para Italia
Y en Italia se perdieron
Y llegaron a Jamaica
Se pusieron hasta el culo
De bailar reggae en la playa
CuÃ(c)ntame un cuento
Bailando en la playa estaban
Cuando apareció su padre
Con la vara de avellano
En la mano amenazando
Fue tras ellas como pudo y Tropezó con la botella
Que tenia genio dentro
Que tenia genio fuera
CuÃ(c)ntame un cuento
Les concedió tres deseos
Y ahora felices estamos
Y colorín colorado
Este cuento se ha acabado
Y resulta que este rey
Que tenia tres hijas
Las metió en tres botijas
Y las tapo con pez
CuÃ(c)ntame un cuento
La enanita junta globos
La que vuela por los aires
La que nos seduce a todos
CuÃ(c)ntame un cuento
El del ratoncito PÃ(c)rez
Que te deja cinco duros
Cuando se te cae un diente
CuÃ(c)ntame un cuento
Que ya creo que estoy soñando
CuÃ(c)ntame un cuento
Con música voy viajando
CuÃ(c)ntame un cuento
Que todavía no es tarde
CuÃ(c)ntame un cuento
Que la noche esta que arde

Lyrics translation

When (c)I get a story
And you'll see how happy I am
I'm going to bed.
And I Have sweet dreams
Well, it turns out he was a king.
That he had three daughters
I put them in three cans.
And I cover them with fish
And the poor little princesses
They cried in mourning
And their father was yelling at them
Please shut up
When (c)I get a story
The princesses escaped
For a gap that existed
That I take them to the valley
From the train going to Italy
And in Italy they were lost
And they came to Jamaica
They got up their asses
From reggae dancing on the beach
When (c)I get a story
Dancing on the beach were
When his father appeared
With hazelnut stick
In the threatening hand
He went after them as he could and stumbled upon the bottle
That he had genius inside
That he had genius outside
When (c)I get a story
I granted them three wishes
And now we're happy
And color red
This story is over
And it turns out that this king
That he had three daughters
I put them in three cans.
And I cover them with fish
When (c)I get a story
The dwarf joins balloons
The one that flies in the air
The one that seduces us all
When (c)I get a story
The mouse pà (c)rez
That leaves you five hard
When you drop a tooth
When (c)I get a story
That I already think I'm dreaming
When (c)I get a story
With music I'm traveling
When (c)I get a story
That it's not late yet
When (c)I get a story
That the night is on fire
