[English]

This is Furzio

Whoa, whoa! Let's go, Furzio!

Yeah, yeah! Keep it going, Furzio

...

My Furzio has already broken the swing where she used to swing

The young lady I loved has run out of fun

Welcome to the "Pavido Navido" where his wife "Navida" is

Fixing her little dress, fixing her little hairstyle

The daughters of "Pavido Navido" and wherever it goes, keep it going!

Look at him!

Ah, Furzio

That Furzio is quite a character

Look at him, look at him!

Come on up to the front, Furzio

To the front, to the front, Furzio!

Pull him, you scoundrel!

Keep coming to the front

Anyone who goes around acting in love but has no money to spend

Should have a bucket of water thrown on them like a dog to soak

Welcome to the "Pavido Navido" where his wife "Navida" is

Fixing her little dress, fixing her little hairstyle

The daughters of "Pavido Navido" and wherever it goes, keep it going!

To the Murra Ñañi

Keep it going!

...

Anyone who wants to be my friend must have three things

A good saddle, a good horse, and good legs for running

Welcome to the "Pavido Navido" where his wife "Navida" is

Fixing her little dress, fixing her little hairstyle

The daughters of "Pavido Navido" and wherever it goes

...

To the rascals

To the Three Rivers

I'm off to Guasave to see the Guasave girls

To see if I can dance with them, or if I end up getting into a hair-pulling fight

Welcome to the "Pavido Navido" where his wife "Navida" is

Fixing her little dress, fixing her little hairstyle

The daughters of "Pavido Navido" and wherever it goes

Come on, Furzio!

Keep it moving, Furzio!

Alfonso

Al Fele

To the waiters over there

...

To all the waiters watching from over there, we send you our greetings

Ah, Furzio

Look at him, look at him!

Uh-uh, uh-uh

Uh-uh, uh-uh

Uh-uh, uh-uh

Whoa! (Look at him!)

Anyone who goes around acting in love but has no money to spend

Should have a bucket of water thrown on them like a dog to soak

Welcome to the "Pavido Navido" where his wife "Navida" is

Fixing her little dress, fixing her little hairstyle

The daughters of "Pavido Navido" and wherever it goes

...

I'm off to Guasave to see the Guasave girls

To see if I can dance with them, or if I end up getting into a hair-pulling fight

Welcome to the "Pavido Navido" where his wife "Navida" is

Fixing her little dress, fixing her little hairstyle

The daughters of "Pavido Navido" and wherever it goes

And so Furzio passed by, but he didn't dance, bah!

He didn't dance, we're going to have to make him go again

Come on, Furzio! Or else I'll sing the song to you (Furzio, haha)

...

[Spanish]

Este Furzio

¡Uah, uah!, ¡Jálale, Furzio!

¡Eah, eah!, llévala, Furzio

Ya se reventó mi Furzio donde ella se columpiaba

Ya se le acabaron los gustos a la joven que yo amaba

Bienvenivido al Pavido Navido donde está su esposa Navida

Componiéndose el vestivido, arreglándose el peinavido

Las hijas del Pavido Navido y por donde churumbé, ¡lleva!

¡Míralo!

Ah, Furzio

Es jodido el furzio

¡Míralo, míralo!

Pásale pa'l frente, Furzio

¡Pa'l frente, pal frente, Furzio!

¡Jálenlo, macambre!

Vente marcando frente

El que anda de enamorado y no tiene en qué gastar

Que le echen un balde agua como un perro a remojar

Bienvenivido al Pavido Navido donde está su esposa Navida

Componiéndose el vestivido, arreglándose el peinavido

Las hijas del Pavido Navido y por donde churumbé, ¡lleva!

A la Murra Ñañi

¡Lleva!

El que quiera ser mi amigo tres cosas debe tener

Buena silla, buen caballo, buenas piernas para correr

Bienvenivido al Pavido Navido donde está su esposa Navida

Componiéndose el vestivido, arreglándose el peinavido

Las hijas del Pavido Navido y por donde churumbé

A los pichotes

Pa' los tres Ríos

Ya me voy para Guasave a ver a las guasaveñas

A ver si bailarlas puedo, o me ataco hasta las greñas

Bienvenivido al Pavido Navido donde está su esposa Navida

Componiéndose el vestivido, arreglándose el peinavido

Las hijas del Pavido Navido y por donde churumbé

¡Ándale, Furzio!

¡Llévale, Furzio!

Alfonso

Al Fele

A los mesero', por ahí

A todos los mesero' que ahora miran de ahí les mandamos saludos

Ah, Furzio

¡Míralo, míralo!

Uh-uh, uh-uh

Uh-uh, uh-uh

Uh-uh, uh-uh

¡Wooh! (¡Míralo!)

El que anda de enamorado y no tiene en qué gastar

Que le echen un balde agua como un perro a remojar

Bienvenivido al Pavido Navido donde está su esposa Navida

Componiéndose el vestivido, arreglándose el peinavido

Las hijas del Pavido Navido y por donde churumbé

Ya me voy para Guasave a ver a las guasaveñas

A ver si bailarlas puedo, o me ataco hasta las greñas

Bienvenivido al Pavido Navido donde está su esposa Navida

Componiéndose el vestivido, arreglándose el peinavido

Las hijas del Pavido Navido y por donde churumbé

Y ahí que pasó el Furzio, pero no bailó, ¡bah!

No bailó, lo vam' a tener que pasar otra vez

¡Ándale, Furzio!, o si no te canto la canción (Fruzio, jaja)
