Tamarindo Seco

How the watermelon flower sways
That's how the woman from Barranquilla sways

Dry tamarind, its leaves fall
Spilled water, no one can pick it up
Dry tamarind, its leaves fall
Spilled water, no one can pick it up

Window over window, over window a flower
On the flower, Nicolasa, on Nicolasa, the Sun
Dry tamarind, its leaves fall
Spilled water, no one can pick it up

I'm not from around here, I'm from brown land
Where Chavarrí sings and the sirens respond
Dry tamarind, its leaves fall
Spilled water, no one can pick it up

In the hole of your house they want to ask me for a veil
Where they say I'm going and if they don't say, I can't
Dry tamarind, its leaves fall
Spilled water, no one can pick it up

Oh ehhh, scratch that scratch (with the tick)
That's a scratch that scratch (with the tick)
And how do I fix myself (with the tick)
That was the tick that bit Felipe
And left a bump and that's his scratch that scratch

And that was the tick that bit Felipe
And left a bump, how do I fix myself, oh-ehh
Scratch that scratch (with the tick)
That's a scratch that scratch (with the tick)
And how do I fix myself (with the tick)
Oh but look there on the ground
So you see that we found it
And left a bump, oh-oh-oh and oh-oh-oh, ehh

Scratch that scratch (with the tick)
And that's a scratch that scratch (with the tick)
And how do I fix myself (with the tick)
That's a scratch that scratch (with the tick)

How the watermelon flower sways
That's how the woman from Barranquilla sways
