Si lo supiera José caridad
If Joseph Knew Charity
Si lo supiera pero no sabe na'
If I knew it but didn't know na'
Si lo supiera José caridad
If Joseph Knew Charity
Si lo supiera pero no sabe na'
If I knew it but didn't know na'
Si ese negrito supiera
If that little guy knew
Que cuando voy por la calle
That when I go down the street
El corazón se me sale
My heart goes out
Del pecho cuando lo veo
From the chest when I see it
Si lo supiera ese negro
If only that black man knew?
¡Ay! si lo supiera
Alas! if only I knew
Si lo supiera José caridad
If Joseph Knew Charity
Si lo supiera pero no sabe na'
If I knew it but didn't know na'
Si lo supiera José caridad
If Joseph Knew Charity
Si lo supiera pero no sabe na'
If I knew it but didn't know na'
Voy a esperarlo el domingo
I'm going to wait for him on Sunday
Con una saya apreta'
With a saya tightens'
Y la bemba bien pinta'
And the bemba looks good'
Pa' ver si fija en mí
To see if you notice me
Ese José caridad
That Joseph charity
¡Ay! negro gangá
Alas! Black Ganga
Si lo supiera José caridad
If Joseph Knew Charity
Si lo supiera pero no sabe na'
If I knew it but didn't know na'
