Canto de Hacha
Juan Luis Guerra · Fogaraté [1994]
óyeme mi negra oé
corazón bendito
óyeme, mi negra
corazón bendito
no le des disgusto
a tu papacito
no le des disgusto
a tu papacito.
Eh,... oh...
ay, Lolita, oh...
¡Alínea!
A mí no me gustan, Lola
a mí no me gustan
las mujeres ajenas
a mí no me gustan
las mujeres ajenas
tienen un sabor
a la berenjena
tienen un sabor
a la berenjena.
Ay, Lola... oh...
ay, Lolita, oh...
¡Fiesta!
¡Fuego, Ulloa!
Ay, mamá
ay, Lola, oh...
le dije a mi negra
que a mí no me cele
le dije a mi negra
que a mí no me cele
que a mí no me gustan
todas las mujeres
que a mí no me gustan
todas las mujeres.
¡Ey!... ¿Qué? ¡Guasábara!
¡Usted la paga, mano!
