| El camisón de Pepa (original) | El camisón de Pepa (translation) |
|---|---|
| Pepa tiene un camisón | Pepa has a nightgown |
| Que baila solo una danza | who dances only one dance |
| Le hace chiquita la panza | She makes her belly small |
| Cuando aprieta el cinturón | When she tightens her belt |
| Ya no tiene ni un botón | She no longer has a button |
| Para apretar la varilla | To tighten the rod |
| Tiene un roto en la rodilla | She has a broken knee |
| Y en otro sitio peor | And in another worse place |
| El camisón de Pepa | Pepa's nightgown |
| Tiene historia | has history |
| En La Habana ganó | In Havana he won |
| El premio mayor | the jackpot |
| Por su singularidad | Because of its uniqueness |
| No es de tela ni es de seda | It is not cloth nor is it silk |
| Ni es un vestido imperial | Nor is it an imperial dress |
| Por la calle le hace un talle | On the street she makes him a size |
| Que le gritan al pasar | That they yell at you when you pass |
| Qué bonita se ve Pepa | How pretty Pepa looks |
| Con su camisón | with her nightgown |
| Qué bonita se ve Pepa | How pretty Pepa looks |
| Con su camisón | with her nightgown |
| Paseando por la Alameda | Walking through the Alameda |
| Y por el Malecón | And along the Malecón |
| Qué bonita se ve Pepa | How pretty Pepa looks |
| Con su camisón | with her nightgown |
| Qué bonita | How pretty |
| Qué bonita | How pretty |
| Qué bonita se ve Pepa | How pretty Pepa looks |
| Con su camisón | with her nightgown |
| Qué bonita se ve Pepa | How pretty Pepa looks |
| Con su camisón | with her nightgown |
