El Rap Del Chicle Choncholi

I received a letter from my cousin Antonieta
who packed her bags and went to California
not long after, her mom sent her money
as if fleeing the winter, they moved to Miami.
In her letter, she tells me she got fired from her job
because she didn't have a visa, they sent her packing
but you know, friend, how we Peruvians are
if our stomach growls, we come up with something.

Pay attention to what I tell you because
it's not a lie even if it sounds made up
she was wandering around with nothing in her pockets
asking people for things like the kids in Lima
a tough gringo approaches with his Mickey Mouse shirt
looks at her with disdain and gives her just a gum
she walks back home, thinking about what to do with it
suddenly, her gaze turns joyful
she had a wonderful idea
enough of crying!!! enough of suffering!!!
because I just invented CHICLE CHONCHOLI.
Take 4 gums and put them in the pot
add parsley, bell pepper, garlic, and 2 onions
throw in a tomato, salt, pepper, and carrot
country ingredients and you'll see it tastes glorious
She went out into the cold night with 100 gums in hand
they bought it without hesitation, especially the Cubans
today, chicle choncholi is sold in New York
also in Tennessee and Antonio travels in
Rolls Royce.
