Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Piraña by Héctor Lavoe from Spanish to English.
'Que es lo que pasa que el piso no arranca
What's going on that the floor won't start
Mujer sin grasa, sin transmisión, sin gasolina
woman without grease, without transmission, without gasoline
Sin aceite y sin motor, estás más esmuañanga'
without oil and without engine, you're even more run-down
¡bendito! para que sufras'
Bless!... so that you suffer
Sobre tierra dormida
Over sleepy land
Duramente abatida
harshly beaten
Por la luz del sol
by the sunlight
Por ahí crucé, para verte a ti
I crossed through there, to see you
Nada fué la distancia
Distance was nothing
Con mi loca esperanza
with my crazy hope
De volverte a ver
that I'd see you again
Otra vez mujer y palabra que sí
again woman and word that yes
Mira como te encontré
Look how I found you
Convertida en malamaña
turned into bad ways
No hace falta ni saber
there's not even a need to know
Porque te llaman piraña
why they call you piranha
Ay, me dirás que me quieres
Oh, you'll tell me that you love me
Que por mí tu te mueres
that you'd die for me
Una y otra vez
over and over
Arranca de aqui piraña
Take off from here piranha
Mujer que todo lo daña
woman that ruins everything
