El zapatero

Lyrics

Yo le dije al zapatero que me hiciera unos zapatos
con el piquito redondo como lo tienen los patos.
Malaya el zapatero como me engañó,
Me hizo los zapatos y el piquito no

Translation

I told a shoemaker to make me a pair of little shoes
with the toes rounded, like those of a duck
Doggone that old shoemaker, how he fooled me.
He made me the little shoes, but not the toe part
