No Hay Cama Pa' Tanta Gente Lyrics in English El Gran Combo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song No Hay Cama Pa' Tanta Gente by El Gran Combo from Spanish to English.
En Navidad fui invitado
On Christmas I was invited
A la casa de David
To David's place
Para un tremendo festin
For a huge feast
Que Digo habia preparado
That Digo had prepared
Allí llegó Perez Prado
Pérez Prado showed up
Los Guaracheros de Oriente
The Guaracheros de Oriente
La fiesta estaba caliente
The party was blazing
Johnny el Menta así dormía
Johnny “El Menta” was sleeping
Y Edimiro le decía
And Edimiro kept saying
No hay cama pa' tanta gente
There's no bed for so many folks
Vi el Gran Combo que llegaba
I saw El Gran Combo arriving
Y a Ramito el de la altura
And Ramito from the heights
Más atrás Johnny Ventura
Further back Johnny Ventura
Con Yayo el Indio charlaba
Chatted with Yayo el Indio
Roberto Torres estaba
Roberto Torres was there
Con Javier Vazquez y su gente
With Javier Vázquez and his crew
Y Ralph Mercado de repente
And suddenly Ralph Mercado
Intentó apagar la luz
Tried to kill the lights
Pero gritó Celia Cruz
But Celia Cruz yelled
No hay cama pa' tanta gente
There's no bed for so many folks
Afuera, pa' la calle
Outside, hit the street
Pa' afuera, pa' la calle
Out you go, hit the street
Pa' afuera, pa' la calle
Out you go, hit the street
Pa' afuera, pa' la calle
Out you go, hit the street
Willy Rosario y su orquesta
Willy Rosario and his orchestra
La salsa quería empezar
Wanted the salsa to kick off
Y Héctor Lavoe al llegar, tarde
And Héctor Lavoe, late on arrival
Encontró que la selecta
Found that La Selecta
Ya se encontraba dispuesta
Was already set up
Para alegrar el ambiente
To brighten the mood
Y en una esquina Tito Puente
And in a corner Tito Puente
Empezaba a pestañear
Started to blink sleepily
Y volvió Celia a gritar
And Celia yelled again
Azuca', no hay cama pa' tanta gente
Azuca', there's no bed for so many folks
Audilio junto al gallito
Audilio next to El Gallito
Lo vi en la mesa sentado
I saw him sitting at the table
Y Daniel Santo' gillao'
And Daniel Santos, zoned out
De ron se daba un traguito
Downed a little shot of rum
David estaba jalaito
David was buzzed
Y así dijo prontamente
And quickly said
Oye Machucha dámele a esta gente
Hey Machucha, pour these people
De caufenero una taza
A cup of black coffee
Y todo el mundo pa' su casa
And everybody head home
No hay cama pa' tanta gente
There's no bed for so many folks
Afuera, pa' la calle
Outside, hit the street
Pa' afuera, pa' la calle
Out you go, hit the street
Pa' afuera, pa' la calle
Out you go, hit the street
Pa' afuera, pa' la calle
Out you go, hit the street
Tírenlo' pa' abajo
Throw 'em downstairs
Que son un peligro arriba
They're a danger up here
Se llenan las manos de lechón
They load their hands with roast pork
Después se limpian con la cortina, y por eso
Then wipe them on the curtain, so
Tírenlo' pa' abajo
Throw 'em downstairs
Que son un peligro arriba
They're a danger up here
Allá, allá se meten al baño
They squeeze into the bathroom
Y te lo dejan como piscina, ¿tú ves?
And leave it like a pool, see?
Tírenlo' pa' abajo
Throw 'em downstairs
Que son un peligro arriba
They're a danger up here
Se jaltan y beben y se enferman
They stuff themselves, drink and get sick
Después te dicen: 'señora, ¿tiene aspirina?'
Then they ask, 'ma'am, got aspirin?'
Tírenlo' pa' abajo
Throw 'em downstairs
Que son un peligro arriba
They're a danger up here
Que esa trulla
That crowd
Es peligrosa
Is dangerous
¡Afuera, pa' la calle!
Out, to the street!
Tírenlo' pa' abajo
Throw 'em downstairs
Que son un peligro arriba
They're a danger up here
Oye, la verdad que con esa gente no hay quien pueda
Truth is, nobody can deal with those people
Oye, son una amenaza
Man, they're a menace
