La Flaca (part. Jarabe de Palo)

In life I met a woman like the Skinny
Black coral from Havana
Tremendous mulatto

A hundred pounds of skin and bone
Forty kilos of Salsa
On her face two suns that
Speak without words

The Skinny sleeps during the day
Says that's how hunger deceives
When night falls
She goes down to dance at the Tavern
And dance and dance
And drink and drink
One beer after another
But she never gains weight

For a kiss from the Skinny
I would give anything
For a kiss from her
Even if it was just one
I wet my white sheets
As the song says
Remembering the caresses
She gave me on the first day
I go crazy wanting to
Sleep by her side
Because God!
This Skinny drives me crazy
