Translation

Anda corriendo un relato

There's a story running

Con cuidado y con afán,

With care and eagerness,

En la población de el plato

In the town of El Plato,

Se volvió un hombre caimán.

He became a caiman man.


Se va el caimán, se va el caimán,

The caiman is leaving, the caiman is leaving,

Se va para barranquilla,

He's heading to Barranquilla,

Comiendo pan, comiendo pan

Eating bread, eating bread,

Untado con mantequilla.

Spread with butter.


Lo que come este caimán

What this caiman eats

Es digno de admiración,

Is worthy of admiration,

Come queso y come pan

He eats cheese and eats bread

Y bebe tragos de ron.

And drinks sips of rum.


Se va el caimán...

The caiman is leaving...


Una vieja y un viejito

An old woman and an old man

Se cayeron en un pozo

Fell into a well,

Y la viejita decía

And the old lady said,

Ay qué pozo tan sabroso.

Oh, what a delicious well.


Se va el caimán...

The caiman is leaving...
