Los Tangos de mi Abuela
Rosario Flores
My Grandmother's Tangos
(Chorus)
That I eat the lemons
The sweet pear
Sweeter than a sweet
My handsome gave it to me
My handsome of the heart
And on Franco street
There goes, pure it goes
My grandmother had a pot
She put it under the bed
And in the pot I don't know what she did
That turned it into a infernal ball
And in the ball she says she saw
And she saw because she read it
What can happen to us any day
She put in the pot
Frog skins
Turtle teeth
Celery and marijuana
Elephant hairs
Garlic and parsley
Making a joint like a zeppelin
(Chorus)
Oh, in my house there's a hole
Oh, covered by a bricklayer
Kikiriki... Uncle Joaquín's club
Kikirikuanto... Uncle Fernando's club
Grifota lost in the ball looked
And sang and danced bulerías
And in a tongue twister I never understood
Looking at the ball she told me like this:
Stay there, stay there, stay there
I'm going to tell you right now
My grandmother put in the pot
Oh the snout of a silly monkey
The beak of a parrot
Garlic and parsley
And a little lemon verbena
Cinnamon and lemon
With the lame leg I tell you
The tail of a bull
The twisted mouth
Tarantula blanket
Your hand and mine
With grace and charm
Stay there, stay there, stay there
I'm going to tell you right now
(Chorus)
Oh, in my house there's a hole
Oh, covered by a bricklayer
Kikiriki... Uncle Joaquín's club
Kikirikuanto... Uncle Fernando's club
She put in the pot
Frog skins
Turtle teeth
Celery and marijuana
Elephant hairs
Garlic and parsley
Making a joint like a zeppelin
The tail of a bull the twisted mouth
Tarantula blanket
Your hand and mine
The beak of a parrot
Cinnamon and lemon
With the lame leg I tell you
Stay there, stay there, stay there
I'm going to tell you right now
(Chorus)
