Cocinero, Cocinero
Antonio Molina
Cook, Cook
Cook, cook, light the fire well
And prepare with care a rice with beans
Cook, cook, seize the opportunity
For the future is very dark
For the future is very dark
Oh, working in the coal
Cooking, I have a knack
That no one in Spain cooks better
And with grace, I prepare at the moment
A good seasoning that is superior
Without thinking, suddenly
I cook myself a rice with noodles
That the most demanding gentleman
That the most demanding gentleman has to lick his fingers
Cook, cook, light the fire well
And prepare with care a rice with beans
Cook, cook, seize the opportunity
For the future is very dark, for the future is very dark
Working in the coal
If the stove goes out while cooking
I sing a tanguillo with a twist
And by some sleight of hand without a trick
The fire lights up
And I'm not outdone in thriftiness, because I cook very cheaply
And I spend the week
And I spend the week with water and baking soda
Cook, cook, light the fire well
And prepare with care a rice with beans
Cook, cook, seize the opportunity
For the future is very dark
For the future is very dark
Oh, working in the coal
