El Patillero
Fruko y Sus Tesos
The Watermelon Seller
To the sound of the cart
He shouts his cry
The watermelon seller
Shouting they're red
(And you hear
His cry like this
And you hear
Like this)
They're red, red
Like the heart
They're red
My watermelons
They're red, red
Like the heart
They're red
My waterme...
And behind comes
A big mouth
Who shouts
Yellow ones!!!
Up the street
Down the street
Streets come
Streets go
Teasing the watermelon seller
That big mouth was behind
The stubborn watermelon seller
Listened to the teasing
Watching out for that rude guy
He bumped into a truck
Crash, crash
And that's where it ended
The watermelons broke
All were yellow
Not like the heart
The fury of the truck driver
The scare of the watermelon seller
And the laughter of the big mouth
Good thing
(Listen mister
That's on you
Big mouth)
(Listen mister
That's on you
Big mouth)
Hello, hello
Barranquilla through the street of peace
Going down Bolivar's promenade they crossed San Nicolas
But when crossing San Blas
Boom
They ended up like stamps
The watermelons
(Listen mister
That's on you
Big mouth)
Good thing
(Listen mister
That's on you
Big mouth)
And what saved the big mouth
From the furious watermelon seller
When crossing an alley
A dog came out barking
That ripped his pants
Left him bare
(Listen mister
That's on you
Big mouth)
Good thing
(Listen mister
That's on you
Big mouth)
Crash, crash
Crash, crash
The tasty watermelon seller
Is going to get you
(Listen mister
That's on you
Big mouth
That's on you
Big mouth)
