Lyrics

Quemaron todas las naves
Para iniciar una nueva vida
Pagaron cara la llave
Falsa de la tierra prometida.
Pero, en lugar del Caribe,
Con su bachata, con sus palmeras,
La madre patria recibe
Al inmigrante por peteneras.
Y no es bona Barcelona
Cuando la bolsa, primo, no sona
Y gana el cholo en Madrid
Menos que un perro sin pedigrí,
Y el mestizo, por Sevilla,
Va dando un cante por pesadillas,
Y, si dos vascos atracan
A un farmacéutico en Vigo
Jura el testigo que eran sudacas.
Y cada fin de semana
Tiran la casa por la ventana
Marcándose un agarrado
En El Cafédel Mercado
Que no es lo mismo que el Tropicana.
Se matan haciendo camas,
Vendiendo besos, lustrando suelos,
Si pica el hambre en la rama
La tortolica levanta el vuelo.
Y, en plazoletas y cines,
Por un jergón y plato de sopa,
Con una alfombra y un Kleenex
Le sacan brillo al culo de Europa.
Y, el cuerpo de policía
Viene con leyes de extranjería
Y, al moro de la patera,
Le corta el rollo una patrullera,
Y, al mulato sabrosón,
Le dan en toda la inquisición,
Y, al gitaníto, la ola
Malaje y paya le quema
El tejadito de la chabola.
Y cada fin de semana
Tiran la casa por la ventana,
Chilabas y desayuno
De kifi con témoruno
Y escriben cartas a su sultana.
Y cada fin de semana
Con sus caderas dominicanas,
Compadre, una guaranchita,
Candombe, samba o rumbita…
¿o es que usted nunca estuvo en La Habana?
Y el coreano currela
Vendiendo lollos de plimavela,
Y en bares porno el paquete
De guineano cuesta un billete,
Y, al almacén del judío,
Van seis niñatos buscando lío,
Y al ingeniero polaco
Que vino huyendo del frío
Ya es mayordomo del tío del saco.
Y cada fin de semana
Tiran la casa por la ventana,
Y, mientras planchan un traje,
Su corazón de viaje
Se va cantando La Varsoviana.
Y cada fin de semana
Queda el negrito
Con la ucraniana,
Y bailan polka y pasito,
Y soplan vodka y mojito
Y vuelven trompas por la mañana.

Lyrics translation

They burned all the ships.
To start a new life
They paid dearly for the key.
False of the Promised Land.
But instead of the Caribbean,
With its bachata, with its palm trees,
The motherland receives
The immigrant by peteneras.
And it's not bona Barcelona
When the bag, cousin, doesn't sound
And wins the Cholo in Madrid
Less than a dog without a pedigree,
And the mestizo, for Seville,
He's singing a song for nightmares.,
And, if two Basques dock
To a pharmacist in Vigo
The witness swears they were sudacas.
And every weekend
They throw the house out the window
Scoring a grab
In The Market Cafe
Which is not the same as the Tropicana.
They kill themselves by making beds,
Selling kisses, polishing floors,
If itches hunger on the branch
La tortolica takes flight.
And, in squares and cinemas,
For a jergon and a plate of soup,
With a carpet and a Kleenex
They make Europe's ass shine.
And, the police force
It comes with alien laws
And, to the moor of the patera,
A patrol car cuts him off.,
And the tasty mulatto,
They give him in the whole Inquisition,
And, to the Gypsy, the wave
Malaje and paya burn him
The little roof of the shed.
And every weekend
They throw the house out the window,
Chilabas and breakfast
From kifi with temoruno
And they write letters to their sultan.
And every weekend
With his Dominican hips,
Compadre, a guaranchita,
Candombe, samba or rumbita…
or were you never in Havana?
And Korean currela
Selling plimavela lollos,
And in porn bars the package
From Guinean costs one ticket,
And, to the storeroom of the Jew,
There are six kids looking for trouble,
And the Polish engineer
Who came running from the cold
He's already the Butler of the sack uncle.
And every weekend
They throw the house out the window,
And, while ironing a suit,
Your heart of travel
The Warsaw song goes on.
And every weekend
There's the bold.
With the Ukrainian,
And they dance polka and pasito,
And they blow vodka and mojito
And they come back tubes in the morning.
