Lyrics
Vino a este mundo Cheto de Camila la gandul
La cigüeña lo envió completo con su torta y su baúl;
Fue su papá Quirino y un señor que estaba ahí…
Se prestó para ser padrino con su esposa la Mimí
Cheto armó un alboroto aquella noche en que nació:
Fue la noche del terremoto cuando el Ángel se cayó
-Tápate algo y salte pa´ juera que le tiembla la mollera
Y si le tiembla es que hay temblor;
¡Ay, nanita se está cuarteando!, ¡con razón me está mojando!
¿será el niño o seré yo?
-¡Ay, qué re prieto escuincle!-
Opinaron periodistas que lo fueron a mirar
-Tiene cara de chinche-;
Y sacaron hartas fotos del papá y de la mamá
-¡Ay, qué re chulo niño!-
Decían esas creticonas que nomás van a fisgar
-Es igualito a Eutimio…
¡Oh, que diga: don Quirino; se parece… a usté, ni hablar
Vi bautizar a Cheto de Camila la gandul
Arrugado, trompudo y prieto con su ropón azul
Bolos hizo Panuncio con tamaño medallón
Pero atrás imprimió un anuncio de Las Glorias de Colón
Ya me tenían a Cheto ahí en la pila bautismal;
Con el agua se puso inquieto y que la empiezan a regar
-Pos destápele aquí el pechito
-Ay señor, no, pobrecito, se nos puede hasta resfriar
-Pos destápele que es bautizo; si se moja, Dios lo quiso
Ahí lo saca usté a asolear
-¡Ay que re prieto es Cheto!
Pos no le hace que esté prieto, se merece un alipuz.
-Yo creo que está tan prieto
Porque ya hace como un año que nos cortaron la luz
-¡Ay, que re chulo es Cheto!
No me dieron mi boleto como le dieron a Juan
-No se llama boleto:
Es el bolo, don Cristeto, pídale un a Sebastián
Lyrics translation
Came to this world keto of Camila La gandul
The stork sent him complete with his cake and his trunk;
It was his father Quirino and a gentleman who was there…
He lent himself to be godfather to his wife Mimi
Cheto made a fuss that night he was born:
It was the night of the earthquake when the Angel Fell
- Cover yourself up and jump out of the hole that's shaking his head.
And if it trembles it is that there is trembling;
Oh, nanita's quarreling! no wonder you're getting me wet!
is it the boy or is it me?
- Oh, what a king!-
Journalists who went to look
- He's got a bedbug face.-;
And they took a lot of pictures of mom and dad.
- Oh, what a cool kid!-
Those creticones said they're just gonna sneak in.
- He's just like Euthymius.…
Oh, let him say: Don Quirino; he looks ... like you, no way
I saw Cheto de Camila baptized at gandul
Wrinkled, stocky and prieto with his blue robe
Bowling made Panuncio with Medallion size
But back he printed an announcement of the glories of Columbus
They already had Cheto there on the baptismal pile;
With the water he became restless and they begin to water it
- Post her breast here.
- Oh lord, no, poor thing, we can even catch a cold
- Then reveal to him that it is baptism; if he gets wet, God willed it
That's where you get it for sunshine.
- Oh, re prieto is Cheto!
Pos doesn't make him prieto, he deserves an alipuz.
- I think he's so close.
Because it's been, like, a year since they cut off our light.
- Oh, What a pimp is Cheto!
They didn't give me my ticket like they gave Juan
- It's not called a ticket.:
It's the bolo, don Cristeto, ask Sebastian for one.
