Make way
Abran paso
Gentleman, make way for me
Caballero, ábreme paso
For I come prepared
Que yo vengo preparado
And to everyone in need
Y a todo el que necesite
Today I will lend a hand
Hoy yo le voy ayudar
Make way
Abran paso
Good things, make way for me, mama
Cosa buena, ábreme paso, mamá
For I come all fired up
Que yo vengo bien caliente
With Saint Barbara by my side
Con Santa Bárbara a mi lado
With her staff and with her sword
Con su cepa y con su espada
To relieve you from all harm
Para aliviarle de todo mal
Make way
Abran paso
Now, now make way for me, mama
Ahora, que ahora ábreme paso, mamá
Look what I bring you
Mira lo que yo te traigo
I bring good herbs
Yo traigo yerba buena
Look, I bring wormwood
Mira que yo traigo altamisa
I bring marjoram
Yo traigo mejorana
I bring calm, brave one
Traigo amansa, guapo
And break saragüey
Y rompe saragüey
Now I come rolling
Ahora yo vengo arrollando
And that's why, make way for me, mama
Y por eso, y abreme paso mamá
(Make way, make way)
(Abran paso, abran paso)
I come with a coconut on each side
Yo vengo con un coco a cada la'o
I come well prepared
Yo vengo bien prepara'o
(Make way, make way)
(Abran paso, abran paso)
I bring the seven powers, my friend
Yo traigo las siete potencias camará
Listen, the seven powers, my friend
Oye, las siete potencias camara'
(Make way, make way)
(Abran paso, abran paso)
Oh look, here wherever I go
Ay miren, que aquí adonde quiera
Everyone listens to me, mama
Todo el mundo me hace caso, mamá
Now I come rolling
Ahora yo vengo arrollando
And that's why make way for me, mama
Y por eso ábreme paso mamá
(Make way, make way)
(Abran paso, abran paso)
I bring all that's good
Yo traigo todo lo bueno
I don't bring all that's bad, bongo
No traigo todo lo malo, bongó
(Make way, make way)
(Abran paso, abran paso)
Make way for me, make way for me
Abreme paso, abreme paso
Make way for good things
Ábreme paso cosa buena
Listen, girl, and pay attention
Oye china y hazme caso
(Make way, make way)
(Abran paso, abran paso)
Now, now I leave contented
Ahora, ahora me voy contento
Don't forget to heed my call
No te olvides de hacerme caso
