[English]
I saw over there, that guy
Forget it, they have nothing left to sing about
All they bring is a story
Of the flying cat
The flying cat
The flying cat
The flying cat
It goes like this
Cuhana-cuhana-cuha, cuhana-cuhana-cuha
Cuhana-cuhana-cuha, cuhana-cuhana-cuha
It was horrible
Cuhana-cuhana-cuha, cuhana-cuhana-cuha
Cuhana-cuhana-cuha, cuhana-cuhana-cuha
It goes like this
I act like a lizard
I act like a mosquito
I act like a little chick
I act like a whale
I act like a cow, moo
But what you all want is
The flying cat
The flying cat
The flying cat
The flying cat
There was a party in my neighborhood
Don Gato arrived, Tom the cat arrived
Félix the cat arrived, Silvestre arrived
Garfield also showed up, but we were still missing a cat
Do you know who it is?
The flying cat
The flying cat
A lousy song
The flying cat
The flying cat
It goes like this
Cuhana-cuhana-cuha, cuhana-cuhana-cuha
Cuhana-cuhana-cuha, cuhana-cuhana-cuha
It was horrible
Cuhana-cuhana-cuha, cuhana-cuhana-cuha
Cuhana-cuhana-cuha, cuhana-cuhana-cuha
This is the story of a cat nobody knows anything about
No one knew in life what was happening to him
They called the Cat in Boots, bring the balls, they seemed like idiots
He didn’t know what was happening, nor what was going on
When that cat got into my house
He didn’t walk, he didn’t crawl
He flew because he is
The flying cat
The flying cat
The flying cat
The flying cat
You don’t know, you don’t know how you make me laugh
