La Maquina De Mi Abuela
Alexis Lozano
My Grandmother's Sewing Machine
My grandmother had a machine
That didn't sew like an old one
She sewed without a needle
(And with half the baking tray)
You won't believe me
Come see her tomorrow
Surely you won't believe me
Come see her tomorrow
And she sews, like a hurricane
My grandmother's sewing machine
With a machine, with a machine, with a machine it was
(And I don't have a machine)
But with a machine, with a machine, with a machine it was
(And I don't have a machine)
The blacksmith has arrived, dad
(And I don't have a machine)
But the blacksmith has arrived, mom
(And I don't have a machine)
Chumbalacatera, Dutch machine
(And I don't have a machine)
Chumbala
You won't believe me
Come see her tomorrow
And she sews, like a hurricane
My grandmother's sewing machine
With a machine, with a machine, with a machine it was
(And I don't have a machine)
But with a machine, with a machine, with a machine it was
(And I don't have a machine)
The blacksmith has arrived, dad
(And I don't have a machine)
But the blacksmith has arrived, mom
(And I don't have a machine)
And she sewed for them
She sewed for others
(And I don't have a machine)
Chumbalacatera, Dutch machine
Chumbala
(And I don't have a machine)
Oh my goodness, Miss Flaki, what do we do?
The drum, Miss Flaki, it broke
Adjust it for me
Miss Flaki, please
Little drum, little coconut, little tasty one
Hey-hey, (hey-hey)
Leave it there, (leave it there)
Don't take it from me, (don't take it from me)
Hey, (hey)
Hey, (hey)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey
Be careful, be careful
Alexis' band is coming
(And I don't have a machine)
(And I don't have a machine)
(And I don't have a machine)
