Translation of the song lyrics Quítate la Máscara - Ray Barretto

Quítate la Máscara (original)

Alalale
(Quitate la mascara)
Veni, veni, veni
(Quitate la mascara)
Bandolera
(Quitate la mascara)
Alalale
(Quitate la mascara)
Veni, veni, veni
(Quitate la mascara)
Hechizera
Oye mi nuevo guaguanco
Oye mi nuevo guaguanco
Lo que te voy a decir
Lo que te voy a decir
Es mi nuevo guaguanco
Lo tuyo fue bandidaje
Organizado en amor
Caminando como gata
Para sembrar el terror
Tu me pusiste la trampa
Para que en ella cayera
Me diste de comer pantera
Y tu sabor era gata
Yo soy el hijo del cariño
Del sabor y la dulzura
Contigo yo fui ternura
Y tu conmigo el abismo
Me diste de comer pesca’o
Sin tu quitarle la espina
De postre diste aspirina
Con tu sabor a mela’o
(Quitate la mascara)
Alalale
(Quitate la mascara)
Veni, veni, veni
(Quitate la mascara)
Bandolera
Yo soy el hijo del cariño
Y tambien de la dulzura
Contigo yo fui ternura
Y tu conmigo el abismo
(Quitate la mascara)
Alalale
(Quitate la mascara)
Veni, veni, veni…
(Quitate la mascara)
Hechizera
Pero que tutututututu
Me diste de comer pesca’o
Sin tu quitarle la espina
De postre diste aspirina
Con tu sabor a mela’o
(Quitate la mascara)
Alalale
(Quitate la mascara)
Veni, veni
(Quitate la mascara)
Bandolera
Bandolera que tu fuiste ojo!
Bandolera tu serás
Y por eso yo te digo
Mira, quitate, quitate, quitate la máscara
(Eres mala, mi bandolera)
Eres mala mala mala y ca…
(Eres mala, mi bandolera)
Mujeres como tu, mujeres como tu, mujeres como tu
Que yo las mando pa la escuela
(Eres mala, mi bandolera)
Aprende como dijo Justo
Yo no voy adorarte la vida entera
Mala mala mala mala…
(bandolera)…

Quítate la Máscara (translation)

Alala
(Take your mask off)
Come, come, come
(Take your mask off)
Shoulder strap
(Take your mask off)
Alala
(Take your mask off)
Come, come, come
(Take your mask off)
Sorceress
Hey my new guaguanco
Hey my new guaguanco
What I'm going to tell you
What I'm going to tell you
It's my new guaguanco
yours was banditry
organized in love
walking like a cat
to sow terror
you set the trap for me
For her to fall
you fed me panther
And your taste was cat
I am the son of love
Of the flavor and the sweetness
With you I was tenderness
And you with me the abyss
You gave me fish to eat
Without you removing the thorn
For dessert you gave aspirin
With your mela'o flavor
(Take your mask off)
Alala
(Take your mask off)
Come, come, come
(Take your mask off)
Shoulder strap
I am the son of love
And also of the sweetness
With you I was tenderness
And you with me the abyss
(Take your mask off)
Alala
(Take your mask off)
Come, come, come…
(Take your mask off)
Sorceress
But what a tutututututu
You gave me fish to eat
Without you removing the thorn
For dessert you gave aspirin
With your mela'o flavor
(Take your mask off)
Alala
(Take your mask off)
Come on, come on
(Take your mask off)
Shoulder strap
Shoulder bag that you were eye!
Shoulder bag you will be
And that's why I tell you
Look, take off, take off, take off your mask
(You're bad, my shoulder bag)
You are bad bad bad and ca…
(You're bad, my shoulder bag)
Women like you, women like you, women like you
That I send them to school
(You're bad, my shoulder bag)
Learn as Justo said
I'm not going to adore you my whole life
bad bad bad bad...
(shoulder strap)…
