Lyrics Translation

Mi Gente

Mi gente ¡Ustedes!
Lo más grande de este mundo
Siempre me hacen sentir
Un orgullo profundo

Los llamé ¡vengan conmigo
No me preguntaron dónde
Orgullo tengo de ustedes
Mi gente siempre responde

Vinieron todos para oirme guarachar
Pero como soy de ustedes
Yo los invitaré a cantar
Conmigo sí van a bailar
Yo los invitaré a gozar conmigo sí

Que cante mi gente

[Intro]
Careful, that the madmen are coming
And with a straight jacket

[Verse]
Listen, my people
The greatest thing in this world
Always make me feel
A deep pride
I called them
Didn't ask me where
I am proud of you
My people always respond
They all came to hear me sing
But since I am one of you
I will invite you to sing
They all came, oh, to hear me sing
But since I am one of you
I will invite you to enjoy
With me you are really going to dance
I will invite you to sing
With me yes, ehh pa!, that's it!

[Refrain 1]
(My people sing, my people sing)
Oh, my people sing (My people sing)
Now that I am present (My people sing)
Tell me what you have to say (My people sing)
Cause I sing like the coquí (My people sing)
The coquí of Puerto Rico (My people sing)
And I tell you that it sounds better than El Jibarito (My people sing)
Lo le lo lay, lo le lo lay, le lo lay (My people sing)
I truly sing to you, mama (My people sing)
And I sing to the president (My people sing)
And I sing to God
And to everyone and my people (My people sing)
Oh, how delicious it is, mama
And have some to enjoy and have some to dance (My people sing)

[Bridge]
Now I want everyone here to sing with us
The one that doesn't sing is because he has bad breath (Come on!)
And the chorus says
The cockroaches let go of the cushion and get into the fun

[Refrain 2]
(La la la la la la la) La le lo lay, le lo lay
(La la la la la la la) Oh, but how delicious it is
(La la la la la la la Hey, lo le lo lay, le lo lay
La la la la la la la) Singing happy goes, mama
(La la la la la la la) That's your dock
(La la la la la la la) Oh, see you tomorrow
(La la la la la la la) Cause you're the cow, mama, and I'm the bull
(La la la la la la la) Eh, ah la lay, le lo lay
(La la la la la la la) The horses are loose
(La la la la la la la) The madmen are loose, where are they going?
(La la la la la la la)
Can't hear nothing, c'mon louder, what's happening? Let it be heard
(La la la la la la la) Me!
(La la la la la la la la) Everybody sing, la la la la la la la la

[Refrain 1]
Hey!, la la la la la la la (My people sing)
Ooh pa! (My people sing)
Eeeh (My people sing)
Eeh-ah (My people sing)
Hey, it's delicious, mama (My people sing)
Good, good mama, it is good (My people sing)
Now dance straight ahead (My people sing)
Pa-li-tu-ba, pe-lin-tu-ba—(My people sing)
So you can enjoy how delicious it is, mama (My people sing)

[Bridge]
Those who have tennis shoes can't enter
And let the whole world sing again
The beautiful chorus that is so beautiful, oh how beautiful
Ask the Mexicans, ajua!

[Refrain 2]
(La la la la la la la) Oh, oh, ah
(La la la la la la la) Oh, but where are you going?
(La la la la la la la) Mrs Pancha, Mrs Pancha
(La la la la la la la) Mrs Pancha irons with four irons
(La la la la la la la) How many irons did Panchita iron with?
(La la la la la la la) —Remembering Mon Rivera, mama
(La la la la la la la) It's just askarakatiskis, tiskistiski, kiritaska—
(La la la la la la la) Damn, give it with pleasure, with flavor, what's happening!?
(La la la la la la la) Everyone yell here
Take off your shoes and hit your girl in the eye with them
(La la la la la la la) Harder!
(La la la la la la la) C'mon!, what's happening?

[Outro]
Damn, how delicious!
We ate it
We ate it, Willie
Oh! Oh!
Stop that, stop that
It's too strong, stop it
