La Carcacha [English translation]

One! Two! Three! Four!

People wonder "what's this cloud of smoke

that is choking us?" Nobody knows what it is

An old car comes honking down the street

with the wheels of a tricycle

and the engine the wrong way around

as usual in the corner I'm waiting

his faithfull girlfriend

My friends are making fun of him

They whisper things about him

Jalopy, step by step

don't stop swaying

Jalopy, little by little

don't leave us behind (x2)

Look girls, I don't feel regret

nor do I feel ashamed of my boyfriend

even though he is poor and his car is old

he treats me like a queen, a real man

even though he's got a jalopy

what really matters is that I sit beside him

He is not handsome either

but he is a faithfull boyfriend

Jalopy, step by step

don't stop swaying

Jalopy, little by little

don't leave us behind (x2)

Everybody, hands up in the air

and singing:

Jalopy, step by step

don't stop swaying

Jalopy, little by little

don't leave us behind
