"Charangón pa´ rato"A big sound from a big band, Elio Reve Jr continues the tradition, leading the band that his father formed, the Orquesta Reve.
The song is about this girl who one day say yes and another day perhaps and hence complicate life.
Let's see who they are, men or women. Yesterday you said yes to me. Listen well. Today you say maybe. You know very well how involved I am, and this is how you take advantage, woman. And how long will I have to put up with you giving me or not, everything you want? It's necessary, woman, make up your mind once and for all because you have me between a rock and a hard place. If yesterday you said yes to me. Listen well! Today you will be mine, woman, and we will see. We will see how we play, girl. If you want to know the truth. My dear. Never that. But if you want to know the truth, I offered you my heart and now I am going to be more sincere, I am focused on you. Mommy. My dear. Never that, never that. Listen, yesterday you said yes to me, maybe, you tell me today. But if you ask me for the fish, mulatto, I will give it to you. Because I am who I am for you. Honey. Never. And we're going on. Come on! Go, damn it! Just that. If people like it, people love it. If you're good, I'm better. If you're cold, I'm hot. If you're great, I'm too. If you like five, I like a hundred. What? There are people who are always criticizing and that doesn't matter to me because I keep singing. Come on, if you feel good, I feel super OK. But I am as I am, yes, young lady, not as you want. If you want mambo, I'll give you mambo...
Vamos a ver quiénes son los que son,
si los hombres o las mujeres.
Ayer me dijiste que sí. Oye bien.
Hoy me dices tal vez.
Tú bien sabes que metido estoy,
y así te aprovechas, mujer.
¿Y hasta cuándo tendré que soportarte
que me dieras o no, todo a tu antojo?
Ya es preciso, mujer, decídete de una vez
pues me tienes entre la espada y la pared.
Si ayer me dijiste que sí. ¡Oye bien!
Hoy serás mía, mujer, y vamos a ver.
Vamos a ver a como tocamos, muchacha.
Si tú quieres saber la verdad.
Querida.
Eso nunca.
Pero si tú quieres saber la verdad,
el corazón yo te ofrecí
y ahora yo te voy a ser más sincero,
yo estoy concentrado en tí.
Mami.
Querida.
Eso nunca, eso nunca.
Oye que ayer me dijiste que si,
tal vez, tú me dices hoy.
Pero si tú me pides el pescado, mulata,
yo te lo doy.
Porque yo soy el que soy para tí.
Querida.
Eso nunca.
Y vamos echando. ¡Anda!
¡Arranca, condenado! Eso nada más.
Si a la gente le gusta, a la gente le encanta.
Si tú eres bueno, yo soy mejor.
Si tú eres frío, yo soy calor.
Si tú eres bárbara, yo también.
Si a tí te gustan cinco a mí me gustan cien. ¿Cómo?
Hay gente que vive criticando y eso no me importa porque sigo cantando.
Anda si tú te sientes bien yo, yo me siento super OK.
Pero yo soy como soy, sí, señorita, no como tú quieras.
Si mambo tú quieres, mambo te voy a dar...
