Tío Caimán

Uncle caiman
wags his tail,
uncle caiman,
like a lady.
Uncle caiman
wags his big tail,
uncle caiman
like a big lady.

I had my small house
stuck between sea and sea
but then came the storm
and with it, uncle caiman.

Suddenly the territory
from south to north opened up
the plot that was there
uncle caiman swallowed it.

The caiman put his flag
and took mine away
I told him: 'uncle caiman,
I can't stand for that'...

Uncle caiman spoke English
and traveled all over the world
and in every place he went
he stuck his filthy fang.

Today with his tail cut off
uncle caiman is crazy
they beat him in Cuba
and they beat him in Vietnam

(Today with his tail cut off
caiman fell into the water
they beat him in Cuba
and also in Nicaragua.)

And since I am dark-skinned
nobody fools me
I will beat the caiman
his father and his mother.
