I have never met a woman like Flaca in my life,
En la vida conocí mujer igual a la Flaca,
black coral from Havana, tremendous mulatto,
coral negro de la Habana, tremendísima mulata,
one hundred pounds of skin and bone, forty kilos of sauce,
cien libras de piel y hueso, cuarenta kilos de salsa,
and on the face two suns, that speak without words,
y en la cara dos soles, que sin palabras hablan,
who speak without words.
que sin palabras hablan.
La Flaca sleeps during the day, she says that hunger deceives,
La Flaca duerme de día, dice que así el hambre engaña,
and when night falls he goes down to dance at the tavern.
y cuando cae la noche baja a bailar a la tasca.
And dance and dance, and drink and drink
Y bailar y bailar, y tomar y tomar
one beer after another but she never gets fat,
una cerveza tras otra pero ella nunca engorda,
but she never gets fat
pero ella nunca engorda
For a kiss from Flaca I would give anything,
Por un beso de la Flaca daría lo que fuera,
for a kiss from her, even if it was just one.
por un beso de ella, aunque sólo uno fuera.
I wet my white sheets, as the song says,
Mojé mis sábanas blancas, como dice la canción,
remembering the caresses he gave me the first day
recordando las caricias que me brindó el primer día
and I go crazy with desire to sleep next to him,
y enloquezco de ganas de dormir a su ladito,
because God! This skinny girl has me crazy.
porque ¡Dios! que esta flaca a mí me tiene loquito.
O-oh, he has me crazy.
O-oh, a mí me tiene loquito
