Lyrics

Cuentame que te paso
Cuentame que te paso
Que estaba alla en la playa
Recorriendo las aguaritas
Y vino una abejita y me pico ay ay!
Cuentame que te paso
Cuentame que te paso
Yo me saque la loteria
Corriendo fui de romeria
Y fue alli donde to el dinero perderi
Pero las dos vienen las dos pao pao
Pao pao pao pao pao (chiquita)
Pao pao pao pao pao (senorita)
Pao pao pao pao pao
Pero las dos vienen la colococota
E La la la la la la la la la pao pao
Pao pao pao pao pao (chiquita)
Pao pao pao pao pao (senorita)
Pao pao pao pao pao
IOA IOAE, IOA IOAE
IOA IOAE, IOA IOAE
Cuentame que te paso
Cuentame que te paso
Que estaba alla en la playa
Recorriendo las aguaritas
Y vino una abejita y me pico ay ay!
Pero las dos vienen las dos pao pao
Pao pao pao pao pao (chiquita)
Pao pao pao pao pao (senorita)
Pao pao pao pao pao
Woo-ooh!

Lyrics translation

Tell me what happened to you
Tell me what happened to you
Who was there on the beach
Touring the watercolors
And a little bee came and stung me ay ay!
Tell me what happened to you
Tell me what happened to you
I got the lottery.
Running I went to romeria
And it was there where I lost the money
But both come both pao pao
Pao pao pao pao pao (chiquita)
Pao pao pao pao Pao (senorita)
Pao pao pao pao pao
But they both come the colococota
E La la la la la la la la la pao pao
Pao pao pao pao pao (chiquita)
Pao pao pao pao Pao (senorita)
Pao pao pao pao pao
IOA IOAE, IOA IOAE
IOA IOAE, IOA IOAE
Tell me what happened to you
Tell me what happened to you
Who was there on the beach
Touring the watercolors
And a little bee came and stung me ay ay!
But both come both pao pao
Pao pao pao pao pao (chiquita)
Pao pao pao pao Pao (senorita)
Pao pao pao pao pao
Woo-ooh!
