Willie Baby Lyrics in English Willie Colón
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Willie Baby by Willie Colón from Spanish to English.
Timbalero, prepárate
Timbalero, get ready
Timbalero, no pierdas tiempo
Timbalero, don't waste time
Pronto llegará el momento
Soon the moment will come
Que tú puedas vacilar y descargar
That you can have fun and let loose
Timbalero, que es lo que pasa
Timbalero, what's happening
Pero que mira, mira, mira timbalero
But look, look, look timbalero
Por qué estás triste, si ahorita me dijiste
Why are you sad, if just now you told me
Que me iba a poner a gozar y a vacilar
That I was going to have a great time and enjoy myself
Timbalero, timbalero
Timbalero, timbalero
Que es lo que pasa que estás tan gallego
What's happening that you're so down
Parece que tú no quieres tocar ni vacilar
It seems like you don't want to play or have fun
Timba no vas sonar, cuero no tiene ya
The timba won't sound, the drum doesn't have it anymore
Oye la timba no va a sonar
Listen, the timba won't sound
Y es porque el cuero no tiene, ya
And it's because the drum doesn't have it anymore
Y oye la conga y el timbal
And listen to the conga and the timbal
Y la campana, mamá
And the cowbell, mama
que vengan timbaleros
Let the timbaleros come
Que vengan a descargar
Let them come to let loose
Oye ahora traigo la salsa
Listen, now I bring the salsa
Y el saoco viene atrás
And the saoco is coming behind
la rumba no es como ayer
The rumba is not like before
Nadie la puede igualar
Nobody can match it
Y me voy para catanga a África
And I'm going to Catanga in Africa
Entren que caben 100
Come in, there's room for 100
Ay, que caben, que caben 100
Oh, there's room, there's room for 100
50 parao 50 de pie
50 standing, 50 sitting
Dicen que es lo mismo pero yo no se
They say it's the same but I don't know
Oiga si hay fuego en el 23
Listen, if there's fire on 23rd Street
Entren que caben 10
Come in, there's room for 10
Qué caramba le importa a usted
What the hell do you care
Orita me voy me voy Belén
Now I'm leaving, I'm leaving Belén
que caben que caben 10
There's room, there's room for 10
Oye que caben que caben bien
Listen, there's room, there's room just fine
Entren que caben 3
Come in, there's room for 3
Ay yo me voy para la luna
Oh, I'm going to the moon
Me voy montao en chu chu tren
I'm going on the chu chu train
rumbero rumba buena
Partygoer, good party
Oye saoco me lleva la morena
Listen, the saoco takes me away with the brunette
Que paren la puerta
Stop the door
Que paren la puerta
Stop the door
Oye Ruperto
Listen, Ruperto
Que paren la puerta
Stop the door
Y que me paren la puerta
And stop the door for me
Oye
Listen
Que mujer más linda
What a beautiful woman
Pero está muy gorda
But she's very fat
Parece una puerca
She looks like a pig
Que paren la puerta
Stop the door
Y que me paren la puerta
And stop the door for me
Mamita la puerta
Mama, the door
Pero bendito que es lo tuyo
But bless, what's yours
