El Tizón
Rodolfo Aicardi
The Ember
The ember lit up on me
the ember goes out on me
(repeat x2)
Who will wet my wick
I ask Mariela
because that black girl is good
for playing with the fire
tell this to Julia
or tell Catalina
this is called Maruja
or better call Cristina
tell this to Carmen
what a ticklish black girl
if I don't find who puts it out
this fierceness is lit up
Whoever has a guilty conscience
shouldn't get close to the fire
because the ember is lit
and even the guilty conscience burns
(repeat)
The ember lit up on me
the ember goes out on me
(repeat x2)
Cumbia, until six in the morning!
The ember lit up on me
the ember goes out on me
(repeat x2)
Who will wet my wick
I ask Mariela
because that black girl is good
for playing with the fire
tell this to Julia
or tell Catalina
this is called Maruja
or better call Cristina
tell this to Carmen
what a ticklish black girl
if I don't find who puts it out
this fierceness is lit up
Whoever has a guilty conscience
shouldn't get close to the fire
because the ember is lit
and even the guilty conscience burns
(repeat)
the ember lit up on me
the ember goes out on me
(repeat x2)
