Juanita La Chismosa
El Caribefunk
Juanita The Gossiper
On weekends we used to be together
Doing our Sunday ritual
Juanita, gossipy and indecent
She seemed like a news report, that's what people said
I come stuck
With Yemayá's water
So that Juanita can heal you
From what ails you
Pagan and immoral bed ritual
It's an intimacy of our life
Juanita, that old gossiper
Who always comes in unannounced
No one enjoys that
A lot of time, a lot of memory
To know so many stories
(I come stuck with Yemayá's water)
That I come stuck with Yemayá's water
So that Juanita can get rid of what bothers you
(I come stuck with Yemayá's water)
A lot of talk, a lot of history
To know so much stuff by heart
(I come stuck with Yemayá's water)
And people keep commenting on one thing
Juanita, you are a real gossiper
(I come stuck with Yemayá's water)
Juanita has no family or sister
She's not Catholic, apostolic, or Roman
(I come stuck with Yemayá's water)
Gossipy and indecent
She had everyone's business on her lips
(I come stuck with Yemayá's water)
Prudence makes us true wise people
So keep your lips sealed
