Lyrics

En Navidad fui invitado
A la casa de Tabin para un tremendo festín que Pio había preparado
Allí llegó Pérez Prado
Los guaracheros de Oriente
La fiesta estaba caliente
Johnny El Men casi dormía y Elimiro le decía
No hay cama pa' tanta gente
Vi al gran Combo que llegaba
Y Ramito el de la altura, más atrás Johnny Ventura con Yayo el Indio charlaba
Roberto Torres estaba
Con Javier Vaca y su gente
Y Ralph Mercado de repente
Intentó apagar la luz, pero gritó Celia Cruz
No hay cama pa' tanta gente
Pa’fuera. pa' la calle…
Willie Rosario y su orquesta
La salsa quería empezar y Hector Lavoe al llegar, tarde, encontró que La Selecta
Ya se encontraba dispuesta
Para alegrar el ambiente
Y en una esquina Tito Puente
Empezaba a pestañar y volvio Celia a gritar ¡Azucar!
No hay cama pa' tanta gente
A Odilio junto al Gallito
Lo vi en la mesa sentao y Daniel Santos gillao de ron se daba un tragito
Tabin Tabaja al laíto
Y así dijo prontamente
Oye Máchuchal, dimele esta gente
Que canten en una taza y todo el mundo pa' su casa
No hay cama pa' tanta gente
Pa’fuera, pa' la calle
Mira ahí se va este, Bamba, José Estevez. Pa’fuera, pa' la calle
Vamos gente. Pa’fuera, pa' la calle
Tírenlos pa’bajo que son un peligro arriba
Se llenan las manos del lechon luego se limpian con la cortina y por eso
Tírenlos pa’bajo que son un peligro arriba
Allá, allá se meten al baño y te lo dejan como pisina. ¡Tu ves!
Tírenlos pa’bajo que son un peligro arriba
Se jaltan y beben y se enferman después te dicen: «Señora, tiene aspirina»
Tírenlos pa’bajo que son un peligro arriba
Esa trulla, es peligrosa
Pa’fuera, pa' la calle
Tírenlos pa’bajo que son un peligro arriba
Oye ahí, sálvese quien pueda
Oye, son una amenaza

Lyrics translation

At Christmas I was invited
To the House of Tabin for a tremendous Feast that Pius had prepared
There came Perez Prado
The guaracheros of the East
The party was hot
Johnny the Men almost slept and Elimiro told him
There's no bed for so many people
I saw the big Combo coming in.
And Ramito the height, back Johnny Ventura with Yayo the Indian chatted
Roberto Torres was
With Javier Vaca and his people
And Ralph market suddenly
He tried to turn off the light, but cried Celia Cruz
There's no bed for so many people
Outside. pa ' la calle…
Willie Rosario and his orchestra
The sauce wanted to start and Hector Lavoe arriving, late, found that the Select
She was already willing
To brighten up the atmosphere
And in a corner Tito Bridge
I started blinking and Celia cried sugar again!
There's no bed for so many people
To Odilio next to the Gallito
I saw him at the table sentao and Daniel Santos gillao De ron was taking a sip
Tabin Tabaja Al laito
And so he said promptly
Hey, man, tell him these people.
Let them sing in a cup and everyone pa ' his house
There's no bed for so many people
PA 'outside, PA' the street
Look at this one, Bamba, José Estevez. PA 'outside, PA' the street
Come on, people. PA 'outside, PA' the street
Throw them down, they're a danger.
They fill the piglet's hands then they wipe with the curtain and that's why
Throw them down, they're a danger.
There, there they go into the bathroom and leave it as a pool. You see!
Throw them down, they're a danger.
They grab and drink and get sick and then they say, " Ma'am, you have aspirin.»
Throw them down, they're a danger.
That trulla, it's dangerous.
PA 'outside, PA' the street
Throw them down, they're a danger.
Hey there, save yourself who can
Hey, they're a threat.
