El Alimirante de Padilla
Carlos Vives
Admiral Padilla
There in the Guajira above
Where smuggling is born
Admiral Padilla swept
Puerto Lopez, left it ruined
Poor Tite, poor Tite
Poor Tite Socarras
Now he's very sad
He's lost everything for smuggling
Where will he go now, where will he go now?
Tite Socarras will earn a living
Where will he go now, where will he go now?
To earn a living without smuggling
Ship, pirate, bandit
May Saint Thomas believe me
I've offered him a party
When a submarine flips him in Korea
Poor Tite, poor Tite
The navy came out ready
Man! Now he's very sad
He's lost everything for being a smuggler
He who has, is the one who loses
That's what Socarras says
That saying is not mine
Because I'm Escalona
I haven't lost anything
Some lose because they gamble
Escalona charming
But Tite, poor thing
He's lost everything for smuggling
