El Taxista

Saben, tuve tantos trabajos

Un mil usos cualquiera

Un día un joven me abordo y me dijo

Hey, chofer, písele al gas

Tanto sin verla ya no aguanto más

Párese, por favor

Stop, please

Quiero comprar flores para mi amor

Y fui manejando

Después de unos minutos

Aquel león que llevaba yo de pasajero

Regreso convertido en el más pequeño ratón y me dijo

Hey, chofer, dele otra vez

Hey, driver, give it another go

Me equivoqué esta calle no es

Lejos de aquí vaya sin preguntar

Far from here, go without asking

Y fui manejando

And I was driving

Y él llorando, con sus flores

Seguí manejando
