Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lagartija Azul by Fonseca from Spanish to English.

Ay, mi lagartija que come araña
Oh, my spider-eating lizard
La salamanqueja que la acompaña
The salamander that accompanies it
Mi vieja vecina que las cuidaba
My old neighbor who took care of them
Y si por los techos no caminaban
And if they didn't walk on the roofs
Una lagartija azul
A blue lizard
Se me metió en la bañera
It got me in the tub
Azul solo era su cola
Blue was just his tail
De ahí pa' arriba era negra
From there up it was black.
Juliana siempre me ha dicho
Juliana has always told me
Que se llaman Julianitas
Who are called Julianites
'Ojitos de casta fina'
'Eyes of fine caste'
Les decía la niña Alicia
The girl Alicia told them
Recuerdo que mi vecina
I remember that my neighbor
Armaba una algarabía
He made a fuss
'Deja la salamanqueja
'Leave the salamander
Que de pronto se nos vuela'
That suddenly flies to us'
Recuerdos que no se olvidan
Memories that are not forgotten
Colores que me fascinan
Colors that fascinate me
Y ombe' que suerte la mía
And ombe' what luck mine
Poder tener esta vida

Ay, mi lagartija que come araña
Oh, my spider-eating lizard
Corre por la casa

La salamanqueja que la acompaña

Trepa la' pitayas

Mi vieja vecina que las cuidaba

Y yo que las buscaba

Y si por los techos no caminaban
And if they didn't walk on the roofs
Ay, las añoraba

Como les venía diciendo
As I had been telling you
Estaba yo hipnotizado
I was mesmerized
Que vengan de cola azul
Let them come from blue tail
Eso si es un invento raro
That is a rare invention
Juliana siempre me dijo
Juliana always told me
Que mire al techo y al piso
Look at the ceiling and floor
Por cada lobito visto
For every lobito seen
Es un deseo concedido

Me acuerdo que mi vecina
