Tengo un chevrolito que compré
I have a chevrolito that I bought
Para ir a Maracaibo a negociar
To go to Maracaibo to negotiate
Un puestecito adelante te aparté
A little post ahead I pushed you aside
El que no pida un cupo va pa' atrás
Whoever does not ask for a quota goes backwards
Ya llegó Escalona ya llegó
Escalona has arrived
Ya llegó Escalona vaya pues
Escalona has arrived
Deja que se descuiden y después
Let them be neglected and then
Recoge tu chisme y vámonos
Pick up your gossip and let's go
Ay ve por Dios mi Maye, ve por Dios
Oh go for God my Maye, go for God
Recoge tu chisme y vámonos
Pick up your gossip and let's go
Soy el contrabandista que llegué
I'm the smuggler I arrived
De los mares de Aruba por aquí

Tengo grandes tesoros para ti

Y mucho contrabando pa'vender
And a lot of contraband to sell
Y allá de la Guajira te traeré
And beyond La Guajira I will bring you
Las perlas más hermosas para ti

Pa' que hagas un collar
Pa' que hacer un collar
Hombe! Y después serás una princesa para mí
Hombe! And then you'll be a princess to me.
Ay ve por Dios mi Maye, ve por Dios
Oh go for God my Maye, go for God
Recoge tu chisme y vámonos

Si yo puedo hacerte muy feliz

A toda Maracaibo para ti

No vayas a olvidar de recoger
Don't forget to pick up
El cajoncito aquél que yo te di

Porque después tu mama va a creer

Que a punta de cuajón te conseguí

Si te vas conmigo no te cuesta ná

Te llevo a Maracaibo a conocer

Cruzamos la frontera y más allá

La tierra del petróleo vas a ver

A ti nadie en el mundo te dará
No one in the world will give you
Un cariño tan grande como yo
A love as big as me
Y pa' que veas mi negra que es verdad
And pa' que veas mi negra que es verdad
Recoge tu chisme y vámonos
Pick up your gossip and let's go
Ay ve por Dios mi Maye, ve por Dios
Oh go for God my Maye, go for God
Recoge tu chisme y vámonos
