The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "El camisón de Pepa" by Compay Segundo.
Lyrics
Pepa tiene un camisón
Que baila solo una danza
Le hace chiquita la panza
Cuando aprieta el cinturón
Ya no tiene ni un botón
Para apretar la varilla
Tiene un roto en la rodilla
Y en otro sitio peor
El camisón de Pepa
Tiene historia
En La Habana ganó
El premio mayor
Por su singularidad
No es de tela ni es de seda
Ni es un vestido imperial
Por la calle le hace un talle
Que le gritan al pasar
Qué bonita se ve Pepa
Con su camisón
Qué bonita se ve Pepa
Con su camisón
Paseando por la Alameda
Y por el Malecón
Qué bonita se ve Pepa
Con su camisón
Qué bonita
Qué bonita
Qué bonita se ve Pepa
Con su camisón
Qué bonita se ve Pepa
Con su camisón
Lyrics translation
Pepa has a nightgown
Who dances just one dance
It makes her tummy small
When you tighten the belt
It doesn't have a button anymore.
To tighten the rod
He's got a broken knee.
And somewhere worse
Pepa's nightgown
It has history
In Havana won
The jackpot
For its uniqueness
It is not of fabric nor of silk
Nor is it an imperial dress
On the street he makes a waist
They yell at him as they pass
How pretty Pepa looks
With his nightgown
How pretty Pepa looks
With his nightgown
Walking along the mall
And by the seawall
How pretty Pepa looks
With his nightgown
How pretty
How pretty
How pretty Pepa looks
With his nightgown
How pretty Pepa looks
With his nightgown
