And now comes The Mambo War

Because there are people who say they have mambo

And then this is what it is

We leave that to the people's option

Gentlemen, I have a friend

that is going crazy

Gentlemen, I have a friend

that is going crazy

Because he wants to buy

Of everything I buy

Because he wants to buy

Of everything I buy

That friend that I say

he was a poor peasant

That friend that I say

he was a poor peasant

I taught him how to work

And now he is my enemy

I taught him how to work

And now he is my enemy

The envious, the envious

They call the envious the envious

The envious, the envious

They call the envious the envious

You know what he told me

'That I was unhappy, and I was leaving him'

You know me little bird

He says he is the best

He spends his life talking

He says he is the best

He spends his life talking

But what I do

he always lives copying

But what I do

he always lives copying

The envious, the envious

They call the envious the envious

The envious, the envious

They call the envious the envious

This is if he is a fine mambo

Boy invents something strange

That all yours look like something before

And stop stalking me

'If you want to copy, copy. But copy well'

And I tell people

Don't worry about that

And I tell people

Don't worry about that

Because I ate the dough

And I left the bones to him

Because I ate the dough

And I left the bones to him

The envious, the envious

They call the envious the envious

The envious, the envious

They call the envious the envious

Cacique Enriquillo

No matter how long his beak is

it doesn't reach my eyes

you know me

Now he has a pride

With the people of his town

Now he has a pride

With the people of his town

He doesn't want to say hello

Because he thinks he is very good

He doesn't want to say hello

Because he thinks he is very good

The envious, the envious

They call the envious the envious

The envious, the envious

They call the envious the envious

'Luis, but leave that man already'

'No no no. get out of there

Get out of there, don't get involved'

This is between him and me

'Because he asked for this

So that he learns to respect me

What's up with this guy now?

'So he can see what mambo is'

Take ill grateful

Even if I don't owe you anything

take it there
