[English]
A hairless dog that had the ability to become invisible
Invited me to have a cup of chocolate.
When we finished the sapote soup I made for him
The dog didn’t realize I’d tricked him.
And as we grew closer, the dog helped me fulfill my great mission.
Finally, this mutt spilled his biggest secret.
Ja-ja, ja-ja, ja-ja, ja-ja, ja-ja, ja-jacarondoso (Jacarondoso)
Jo-jo, jo-jo, jo-jo, jo-jo, jo-jo, jocoso (And very playful)
Wi, wi, wi, I lost it!
Oh! What happened?
Tell me where I am.
Who or when am I? What a hangover.
Oh! What happened?
Tell me where I am.
Humans at last, how naive I was.
Ja-ay, ja-ay, ja-ay
Ja-ay, ja-ay, ja-ay
And thinking about it…
In this town, there’s only room for one dude.
One who moves so coolly on the dance floor like this king.
(Listen to me) And I don’t want to ruin (And feel me) the party.
But I’m tired of being shown up.
Suddenly, this lapdog isn’t growing on me.
(You’re going to regret losing something so chewy,
So playful, so sparkly, so tasty, so funny like me.)
(Ja-ja, ja-ja, ja-ja, ja-ja, ja-ja, ja-jacarondoso) This poor dog thinks I admire him.
But for forty pesos
I’ll hand him over to the taco vendor. (Jo-jo, jo-jo, jo-jo, jo-jo, jo-jo, jocoso)
Wi, wi, wi, I lost it!
Oh! What happened?
Tell me where I am.
Who or when am I? What a hangover.
Oh! What happened?
Tell me where I am.
Humans at last, how naive I was.
Ja-ay, ja-ay, ja-ay
There’s only room for one dude.
Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude
Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude
Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude
Dude, dude, dude, dude
Ja-ay, ja-ay, ja-ay
There’s only room for one dude (Ja-ay)
Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude (Ja-ay)
Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude (Ja-ay)
Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude
Dude, dude, dude, dude
Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude
Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude
Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude
Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude
Ehile, the zombies
