Translation of the song lyrics La Jaibera - Celia Cruz

La Jaibera (original)

La jaibera yo soy
Quiero que me compre usted
La jaiba que tengo yo
Pare hacerla en chilpachón
En mi sesta traigo yo
Acabada de pescar
Sardinillas boquerones
¿no me quiere usted comprar?
Una jaiba muy sabrosa voy a darle yo a comer
Pues
La jaiba se parece a la mujer
Si quiere comer jaibita
Acabada de pescar
Ven y sígueme a mi casita que te voy a convidar
En mi sesta trigo yo acabada de pescar sardinillas boquerones
¿no me quiere usted comprar?
Una jaiba muy sabrosa no me quiere usted comprar
Pues la jaiba se parece a la mujer
(Coro)
La jaibera se va y no volverá
Que si no compras la jaiba no hay pa’cenar
La jaibera se va y no volverá
Ven y sígueme a casa y te quedaras
La jaibera se va y no volverá
Hay ya se va la jaibera y no vuelve más
La jaibera se va y no volverá
Que ya se va la jaibera sígueme atrás
La jaibera se va y no volverá
Que si no compra esta jaiba no hay pa’cenar
La jaibera se va y no volverá
Hay que se va que se va que se va que se va

La Jaibera (translation)

I am the jaibera
I want you to buy me
The crab that I have
Stop doing it in chilpachon
In my sixth I bring
finished fishing
anchovy sardines
don't you want to buy me?
I'm going to give him a very tasty crab to eat
Then
The crab looks like the woman
If you want to eat jaibita
finished fishing
Come and follow me to my little house, I'm going to invite you
In my sixth wheat I finished fishing anchovy sardines
don't you want to buy me?
A very tasty crab you don't want to buy me
Well, the crab looks like the woman
(Chorus)
The jaibera leaves and will not return
That if you don't buy the crab there is no pa'dinner
The jaibera leaves and will not return
Come and follow me home and you will stay
The jaibera leaves and will not return
There is already the jaibera leaving and it doesn't come back anymore
The jaibera leaves and will not return
The jaibera is gone, follow me back
The jaibera leaves and will not return
That if you don't buy this crab there is no pa'dinner
The jaibera leaves and will not return
You have to go, go, go, go, go
