Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sangrigorda by Héctor Lavoe from Spanish to English.
Chorus 1
sangrigorda
Bloodthirsty
Tu no puedes arrollar
You can't run over
Si no quiere al negro yá
If she doesn't want the black man anymore
Oye mira sangrigorda
Hey look, bloodthirsty
Tú no puedes arrollar
You can't run over
Ay pero mira mi mulata
But look at my mulatto
Si no quiere, si no quiere al negro ya
If she doesn't want, if she doesn't want the black man anymore
Ese prieto a ti te quiere
That dark-skinned man loves you
Se lo dijo a su mamá
He told his mom
Ahora se pasa llorando
Now he's always crying
Y siempre está guachinando
And he's always sulking
Y no quiere venir pa'cá
And doesn't want to come over here
quiriqui saca el pañuelo
Quiriqui takes out the handkerchief
Prende el tabaco mira que voy pa'l suelo
Lights the tobacco, look, I'm going to the ground
