lyrics

Manfredo’s sombrero

A little story happened to me
a la frontera de Venezuela y the islands of Trinidad and Tobago.
Es mejor de cantar en ingles porque everybody should listen to my song
about da Caribian and da spirit of Latino America.

Last night I went to club Tijuana
There I met a girl called Anna
She had a boyfriend Don Manfredo
Who had a really big sombrero
And this really big sombrero
Is styley when you dance bolero
So I asked this guy Manfredo
To bring me one from isla Tobago

Oh Manfredo - buy me un sombrero !

But da isla Tobago is far away for Manfredo
So he sold some marijuana bought in club Tijuana
The club Tijuana you shouldn’t tell about my mama
Cause she don’t like marijuana
Because of that she is my mama

Oh little Anna
Don’t tell my mama,
Don’t tell about da marijuana
Fiesta amigo ! Fiesta amigo ! Fiesta amigo ! - (si señor)

So we took a ship to Tobago
Me and amigo Manfredo
Cause now had mucho of dinero
To buy a really nice sombrero
“Look what a nice sombrero
I bought on isla Tobago”
Now I can dance da bolero
Like amigo Manfredo

Oh Manfredo - now I have my sombrero !

Listen what happend:

But on da way back from Tobago
Da wind was not my amigo
So suddenly my new sombrero
Flew away back to da isla Tobago
What da f. . . !!

Oh little Anna
Don’t tell my mama,
Don’t tell about da marijuana
Fiesta amigo ! Fiesta amigo ! Fiesta amigo ! - (si señor)
