Primero Fui Yo
Frankie Ruiz
First It Was Me
Yeah! It was me first!
(Chorus)
First it was me (not you) first it was me
the one who lived with her, first it was me.
I've known her since she was a child, we went to school together
we ate candy together, always together wherever
she called me 'baby' and I called her 'sweetie'
tell her so you know, tell her now, Chabela
(Chorus)
I know all her likes, and the ones she doesn't, too
I know all her troubles, her feet covered in calluses
she snores a lot when she sleeps and she's quite a troublemaker
no, no, no, no, about the rest, she's quite a flirt
(Chorus)
In the neighborhood there were two houses, hers and mine
when she wasn't at her house, she was at mine
we'd go out for a walk together, with her mother and grandmother
just to make sure, that the care was top-notch
finally one day we got married, and in the third week
what I liked the most, she disliked
what I wanted at night, she wanted during the day
I wanted to travel by bus, and she preferred the tram
You who have her now, tell me if I'm lying
you who have her now, damn it, you know it's true.
(Chorus)
You who have her now, tell me if I'm lying
you who have her now, you know it's true.
She snores a lot when she sleeps, and she's quite a troublemaker
no, no, no, about the rest, she's quite a flirt
(Chorus)
ain't it true, ha!
whatever happens with her, I
She used to call me 'daddy', also said I was her 'baby'
but she doesn't fool me, I know her little trick
(Chorus)
In the neighborhood there were two houses, hers and mine
when she wasn't at her house, she was at mine
I told you, my brother, that I wasn't lying... damn!
Oh, you know it's true
(Tell me if I'm lying)
You know I don't lie
(You know it's true)
Remember I was the first
(Tell me if I'm lying)
From those divine times
(You know it's true).
