La Manguera

Mi compadre se esta volviendo raro,

My compadre is becoming strange,

no se que le sucede me lo dijo su mujer,

I don't know what's happening, his wife told me,

un papel encontro en su camisa que dice que

He found a note in his shirt that says

a el lo vuelve loco la manguera...

He goes crazy for the hose...

Cuando el rio suena dice que agua trae,

When the river makes noise, they say it brings water,

dicen que mi compadre ya cambio de bando

They say my compadre has changed sides,

cuando yo supe el chisme le llame;

When I heard the gossip, I called him;

oye compadre que es lo que esta pasando

Hey, compadre, what's going on?

ya me dijeron que pateas con la zurda

They told me you kick with your left foot

y que te gusta el arroz con popote esa noticia

And that you like rice with a straw. That news

a mi me parece absurda pues mi compadre

Seems absurd to me because my compadre

siempre ha sido un machote, oye compadre

Has always been a tough guy. Hey, compadre,

la gente piensa mal es que yo ya me enamore

People think wrong, but I already fell in love

de la manguera oye compadre hasta

With the hose. Hey, compadre, even

a mi me haces dudar en un ratito ya volteaste de bandera,

You make me doubt; in a moment, you've turned your flag,

oye compadre yo no soy un puñal sabes que lo que es derecho

Hey, compadre, I'm not a backstabber. You know what

no es pando a la manguera te voy a presentar

Is right is not crooked. I'll introduce you

es la muchacha que en la plaza vende mangos.

To the girl who sells mangoes in the square - that's the hose.
