El Bodeguero
Nat King Cole
Lyrics
Translation
Siempre en su casa presente está
Always present in his house
El bodeguero y el cha cha cha
The grocer and the cha cha cha
Vete a la esquina y lo verás
Go to the corner and you'll see
Y atento siempre te servirá
And always attentive, he will serve you
Anda enseguida, córrete allá
Go quickly, move over there
Que con la plata lo encontrarás
With money, you will find him
Del otro lado del mostrador
On the other side of the counter
Muy complaciente y servidor
Very accommodating and helpful
Bodeguero: Qué sucede?
Grocer: What's going on?
Por qué tan contento estás
Why are you so happy?
Yo creo que es consecuencia
I think it's a consequence
De lo que en moda está
Of what's in fashion
El bodeguero bailando va
The grocer is dancing
Y en la bodega se baila así
And in the grocery store, it's danced like this
Entre frijoles papa y ají
Among beans, potatoes, and chili
El nuevo ritmo del cha cha cha
The new rhythm of the cha cha cha
Toma chocolate, paga lo o que debes
Take chocolate, pay what you owe
