| El Papalote (original) | El Papalote (translation) |
|---|---|
| Yo fui tu papalote | I was your kite |
| Me repapaloteaste | you messed me up |
| Como te dio la gana | as she pleased you |
| Y armaste tu mitote | And you put together your mitote |
| Cuando por tus amigos | when for your friends |
| De plano te corte | I cut you out flat |
| Me traibas en la altura | you brought me high |
| Por mas que yo rabiaba | As much as I raged |
| Y rabiaba al comprender | And he was furious when he understood |
| Que así no era muy macho | That he wasn't very macho like that |
| Que así no era muy macho | That he wasn't very macho like that |
| Ni tu eras mi mujer | You were not my wife |
| Papalotito | papalotito |
| Papalote en el aigre | Kite in the air |
| Dale un besito | Give him a little kiss |
| Al hijo de mi madre | To my mother's son |
| Ya tienes tu grandote | You already have your big one |
| Pa' que lo quieras mucho | So that you want it a lot |
| Y lo hagas padecer | and make him suffer |
| Ya no soy papalote | I'm not a kite anymore |
| Ya no soy papalote | I'm not a kite anymore |
| De ninguna mujer | of no woman |
| Yo fui tu papalote | I was your kite |
| Me repapaloteaste | you messed me up |
| Como te dio la gana | How did you feel like it? |
| Y armaste tu mitote | And you put together your mitote |
| Cuando por tus amigos | when for your friends |
| De plano te corte | I cut you out flat |
| Me traibas en la altura | you brought me high |
