Lyrics
En la selva había un hombre
Y en su choza una mujer
El salía de mañana
Y ella hacía de comer
Una tarde en que volvió
Con algunas provisiones
Su mujer le relató
La historia de unos ladrones
Que llegaron en silencio
Con los baúles cargados
Y los ojos muy saltones
Y los dientes apretados
Y salió al verlos llegar
Porque gritaban su nombre
Y decían que traían
Un negocio para el hombre
Qué te parece Manuel
Esta es la oportunidad
Pues viviendo aquí encerrados
Dime quién se va a enterar
Y como él no respondiera
Ella dale, tal y cual
Más bien de mala manera
Se quitaba el delantal
Y fumando un cigarrito
El se fue a acabar el día
Mirando cómo bailaba
El barquito en la bahía
La noche entera pasó
Apoyado en el dintel
Con el alba se marchó
Nunca más se supo de él
Y una tarde en que la viuda
Lloraba desconsolada
Un bandido le decía
No me llores vida mía
Que aquí no ha pasado nada
Y un lorito en la enramada
Repetía sin cesar
Este coro que les traigo
Porque yo lo oí cantar
Santa Bárbara bendita
Bendito San Cayetano
Al que encierra su tesoro
Se le va detrás la mano
Tú perico cierra el pico
Respondía el bandolero
Nunca llegarás a rico
Si no guardas tu dinero
Lyrics translation
In the jungle there was a man
And in his hut a woman
He was leaving tomorrow
And she was eating
One afternoon he came back
With some provisions
His wife told him
The story of Thieves
Who arrived in silence
With trunks loaded
And very bulging eyes
And teeth clenched
And he went out to see them come
Because they were shouting his name
And they said they brought
A business for Man
How about Manuel?
This is the opportunity
Well, living here locked up.
Tell me who's gonna find out.
And as he did not answer
She dale, just like that
Rather in a bad way
He took off his apron
And smoking a cigarette
He went to finish the day
Watching her dance
The little boat in the Bay
The whole night passed
Leaning on the lintel
With the dawn he left
Never heard of him again.
And an afternoon when the widow
She cried with grief.
A bandit would tell him
Don't cry my life
That nothing happened here
And a parrot in the boardroom
He kept repeating
This chorus that I bring you
Because I heard him sing
Holy Blessed Barbara
Blessed Is San Cayetano
To the one who holds his treasure
His hand goes behind him
You parrot shut your beak
The Bandit answered
You'll never make it to rico.
If you don't keep your money
