Chinito Chinito

Ry Cooder · Chavez Ravine [2005]

Chinito, chinito, toca la maraca chinito

Chinito, chinito, no preocupes más

Chinito, chinito, me lava la ropa

Chinito, chinito, no preocupes más

Cuando la maraca come mucho arroz

Chinito ni trabaja, a 5 why a 2

Lava la camisa, me plancha pantaloon

Cuando la maraca la lleva al canton

Chinito, chinito, toca la maraca, chinito

Chinito, chinito, no proecupes más

Vaya Chino

Chinito, chinito

Chinito finito

Chinito bonito

Ay chinito bonito, donde vas?

Donda vas chinito con su maraca

Why donde estan mis pantalones, chinito?

Pinche chinito, con mi camisa, dame la ropa

Chinito, chinito, toca la maraca, chinito

Chinito, chinito, no preocupes más

Chinito, chinito, me lava la lopa

Chinito, chinito, no preocupes más

Cuando la maraca come mucho arroz

Chinito ni trabaja a 5 why a 2

Lava la camisa, me plancha pantaloon

Cuando la maraca la lleva al canton

Chinito, chinito, toca la maraca chinito

Chinito, chinito, no preocupes más

Chinito, chinito, me lava la ropa

Chinito, chinito, no preocupes más

Chinito Chinito
