Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Piñata by Los Tucanes De Tijuana from Spanish to English.
Le hicieron una piñata
They made a piñata
A un jefe de alto poder
For a high-powered boss
Para festejar su cumpleaños
To celebrate his birthday
De todo tenia que haber
Everything had to be there
Todos los gastos corrieron
All expenses were covered
Por un gran amigo de el
By a great friend of his
Hizo las invitaciones
He made the invitations
Y abajo decía no niños
And below it said no children
Las repartió mucha gente
They were distributed by many people
De los estados unidos
From the United States
A pura gente de talla
Only high-profile people
Clientes muy distinguidos
Very distinguished clients
Se llego el día d la fiesta
The day of the party arrived
Todos llegaron temprano
Everyone arrived early
Y antes de meterse el sol
And before the sun set
La gran piñata quebraron
They broke the big piñata
Adentro no tenia dulces
Inside it didn't have candy
Pero tenia algo mas caro
But it had something more expensive
Pura bolsita surtida
A variety of small bags
De los animales bravos
Of fierce animals
Cuando callo la piñata
When the piñata fell
Se hizo una bola de gente
There was a crowd of people
Parecían niños de kinder
They looked like kindergarten kids
Peliando por su juguetee
Fighting for their toy
Sabían que las bolsitas
They knew that the little bags
Venían repletas de ardiente
Were filled with something spicy
Pásenle a comer señores
Come and eat, gentlemen
Digo la esposa del jefe
Said the boss's wife
Ya muchos estaban llenos
Many were already full
Habían senado filete
They had eaten steak
Otros no podían llenarse
Others couldn't fill up
Su apetito era muy fuerte
Their appetite was very strong
Fue la piñata mas cara
It was the most expensive piñata
En estos últimos años
In recent years
El pastel nno era de pan
The cake wasn't made of bread
Era un pastel Colombiano
It was a Colombian cake
Si lo servían en platos
They served it on plates
Pero de a 5 o 6 gramos
But only 5 or 6 grams
Pero si quieren hacer piñatas
But if you want to make piñatas
Aquí las bolsitas traigo
I have the little bags here
