Coplas - The Kingston Trio

Cha cha

Chile verde me pediste chile verde te dare

Vama nos para la huer ta con al la te lo cortare

Tell them what it means then

You want green peppers I'll give you green peppers

Come out to the garden

Lai lai lai lai hum de lai lai lai

Hum de lai lai lai lai

Lai lai lai hum de lai lai lai hum de lai lai lai

Dice que los de fu casa ninguno me puede ver

Diles que no basta el agua que al cabo lahan do beber

Tell your parents not to muddy the water around us

Porque

They may have to drink it soon

Lai lai lai lai hum de lai lai lai

Hum de lai lai lai lai

Lai lai lai hum de lai lai lai hum de lai lai laii

La mula que yo mente la monto hoy mi compadre

Eso a mi no me importa pues yo la mon te primero

Oivey

Ah so you are surprised I speak your language

You see I was educated in your country at u c r a

Lai lai lai lai hum de lai lai lai

Hum de lai lai lai lai

Lai lai lai hum de lai lai lai hum de lai lai lai

La noche que me case no pudde dormirme un rato

Por estar toda la noche corriendos detras de un gato

Me dejiste que fue un gato que entro por tu balcon

Yo no visto gato prieto con sombrero y pantalon

On my wedding night I did not sleep a wink

I spent the whole night chasing a cat that had come

In over the balcony meow wearing a sombrero and long pants

Lai lai lai lai hum de lai lai lai

Hum de lai lai lai lai

Lai lai lai hum de lai lai lai hum de lai lai lai
