Déjala bailar [English translation]

It's not because I'm in your presence,

my darling boy,

but you are wrong, very wrong

It's ten o'clock

and the dance is hot

and people keep coming

and you won't

let her dance.

I would really like to be polite,

but I must say

that you are the worst.

I have never seen you like that,

and if you keep on being glum,

with that face of a husband,

the black girl is going to get tired of you.

Behind a sad man

there is always a happy woman.

And after that woman

there's always a thousand gentlemen.

That's why, for your own good,

erase her from your mind

or reconquer that woman.

I don't know whether you're glad,

my precious boy,

But nobody here

can stand you anymore.

It's 3 o'clock and the party is a blow out.

Let that black girl be happy,

let that black girl dance in peace.

Behind a sad man

there is always a happy woman

And after that woman

there's always a thousand gentlemen.

That's why, for your own good,

wipe her out of your mind

or reconquer that woman.

It's not because I'm in your presence

my precious boy,

but you are wrong, my son, very wrong.

It's 6 o'clock

and the party is a blowout,

let that black girl be happy,

let that black girl dance in peace.

Hold on to her, she's leaving you!

Let that black girl dance in peace!

Let that black girl dance in peace!

Dear friend, change that face,

I've never seen you like that.

Let that girl dance alone, by herself,

let her be happy.

No, no, no.

Don't torment her anymore, hey,

let her dance.

With that face of a husband

you look so bored,

Go over there!

Behind such a sad man

there is a happy woman.

Why is that?

Let her, let her, let her, let her,

let her dance in peace.

Behind a sad man

there's always a happy woman.

And after that woman

there are always a thousand gentlemen.

That's why, for your own good,

erase her from your mind

or reconquer that woman.

Win her over!
