[English]

Alright

Yo, are you there?

Who?

Yolanda, is that your daughter?

No, it's not, wrong number.

No, please stop calling this house.

(Dad!) What happened, daughter?

Did someone call?

No, nobody, a cholo, but it was a wrong number.

What? But why did you hang up on my boyfriend?

How come you have a boyfriend? I didn't know.

No wonder you're on the phone there all day.

Don't tell me, please, that you can't believe it.

If my friends have boyfriends, I can have one too.

Well, you and your friends are just little girls.

Who still don't know how to heat tortillas.

And now they even want to date as girlfriends.

They should better focus on studying.

You and my mom don't change, you're really boring.

They're no longer at their ranch, they're in the United States.

I don't care if it's my ranch or the north.

All I want is for my daughter to behave.

Every day those skirts you wear get shorter.

I'm scared that someday you'll go out only in underwear.

You don't understand me, dad; I'm not a kid, dad.

I'm going to have a boyfriend and I don't care if you get mad.

I'm in love and my dad doesn't get it.

I don't understand, nor do I care to understand.

I don't want to see that guy around here.

My soul and my mind belong to him.

Well, I'll beat you up the day I find him.

I know you're still going out with that stupid guy.

They even kissed; don't think I didn't know.

Don't trust that type of jerk.

They turn you into a kid and nobody can keep up with them.

But he's different; he's not a gang member.

He's very hardworking, and that's why I love him.

He just works at the liquor store.

Because there he just messes around all day.

He only drinks on weekends.

But the other days he smokes a lot of marijuana.

Understand me, girl, it's not that I don't want him.

But you're too young to already be in a relationship.

He does love me, dad, don't you remember, dad.

You stole my mom when you were my age.

Well yes, I stole her, but she'll end up being roasted over a fire.

You, just a microwave.

I'm in love and my dad doesn't get it.

Look, the only thing I understand is that if I see him around here...

I'll kick his cholo ass.

My soul and my mind belong to him.

Well, I'll beat you up the day I find him.

Hi, baby, so are you going to come?

(Yolanda, hang up that phone) Oh my God, he's trippin' again, man.

See you in a bit, okay?

I don't want the same thing to happen to you as to your cousin Esther.

Al papá de sus muchachos nunca más lo volvió a ver

Listen, girl, don't ruin your life.

Soon, like many, you'll be sorry.

If you find a guy who knows how to respect you...

I promise that at your wedding, I'll sing for free.

(Hell, no!) How could you... Goddamnit.

Just you pay for the band (whatever).

I'm in love and my dad doesn't get it.

Just listen, you stubborn one.

I don't know what you see in that guy, I don't know.

My soul and my mind belong to him.

Well, I'll beat you up the day I face him eye to eye.

Come on, Yolanda, I don't want to argue with you.

Go help your mother.

I already put the dishes in the dishwasher, dad.

So, go to your room.

I'm leaving now, I'm coming for myself, okay?

Who came for you? (bye!)

Look, don't say that to me, it's getting to me (bye, dad).

I'm getting this choking feeling, Yolanda, please.

I love you

The... ah, the choke, the choke, ah

...

[Spanish]

Güeno

Yo, is you there?

¿Qu'én?

Yolanda, ¿su hija?

No, no'stá, wrong number

No, no ande hablando a esta casa, por favor

(Dad!) ¿Qué pasó, hija?

Did somebody call?

No, nadie, un cholo, pero era wrong number

What? ¿Pero por qué le colgaste a mi boyfriend?

¿Cómo que tienes novio? Y yo no lo sabía

Con razón en el teléfono ahí tas todo el día

Don't tell me, por favor, que no lo puedes creer

Si mis amigas tienen boyfriend, yo también puedo tener

Pos tú y tus amigas son unas chiquillas

Que todavía no saben como calentar tortillas

Y 'ora hasta de novias ya qu'eren andar

Mejor deberían dedicarse a estudiar

Tú y mi mamá no cambian, son bien aburridos

Ya no están en su rancho, están en Estados Unidos

A mí me vale madre si es mi rancho o es el norte

Yo lo único que qu'ero es que mi hija se comporti

Cada día están más cortas esas faldas que te pones

Tengo miedo que una vez tú salgas en puros calzones

Tú no me entiendes, dad; yo no soy niña, dad

Yo voy a tener novio and I don't care if you get mad

Estoy enamorada y mi padre no lo entiende

No entiendo ni me importa entender

No quiero ver ese muchacho por aquí

A él pertenece mi alma y mi mente

Pos yo te lo madreo el día que me lo encuentri

Sé que sigues saliendo con ese stupid

Ya hasta se besaron, no creas que no supi

A ese tipo de cabrones no le hagas confianza

Te hacen un chiquillo y ya nadie los alcanza

Pero él es diferente, él no es pandillero

Es muy trabajador y yo por eso lo quiero

Pos solo que trabaji en la licorería

Por que ahí se la pasa güevoniando todo el día

Él solamente toma los fines de semana

Pero los otros días fuma mucha marihuana

Entiéndeme, muchacha, no es que no lo quiera

Pero es que estás muy chica pa que ya andes de noviera

Él si me quiere, dad, que no te acuerdas, dad

Tú a mi mom te la robaste cuando ya tenía mi edad

Pos sí, sí me la robé, pero ella se va a tortear en fogón

Tú, puro microwave

Estoy enamorada y mi padre no lo entiende

Mira, yo lo único que entiendo es que si lo veo por aquí

I'll kick his cholo ass

A él pertenece mi alma y mi mente

Pos yo te lo madreo el día que me lo encuentre

Hi, baby, entonces ¿sí vas a venir?

(Yolanda, cuelga ese teléfono) oh my God, he's trippin' again, man

Nos vemos al ratito, ¿okay?

No quiero que te pase lo que a tu prima Esther

Al papá de sus muchachos nunca más lo volvió a ver

Entiéndeme, muchacha, no arruines tu vida

Al rato, como muchas, vas a estar arrepentida

Si encuentras un muchacho que te sepa respetar

Te prometo que en tu boda, gratis te voy a cantar

(Hell, no!) ¿Cómo que no? Goddamnit

Nomás tú paga la banda (whatever)

Estoy enamorada y mi padre no lo entiende

Oí nomás, tú, terca

No sé qué le ves a ese guandajón, yo no sé

A él pertenece mi alma y mi mente

Pos yo te lo madreo el día que me lo encuentre frente a frente

Ándale, Yolanda, no quiero alegar contigo

Vete a ayudarle a tu madre

Ya metí los trastes al dishwasher, dad

Entonces, go to your room

Ya me voy, ya llego por mí, ¿eh?

¿Quién llegó por ti? (bye!)

Mira, no me digas eso que me está dando (bye, dad)

Me está dando el ahoguillo, Yolanda, por favor

I love you

El -, ay, el ahoguillo, el ahoguillo, ah
