Cojones from Diablo Mambo by The Cuban Cowboys

Cojones

Los hombres no le pegan a mujeres
[Men don’t hit women]
You told me not to do it so I won’t
El que lo hace pierde sus cojones
[The man that does so loses his balls]
You said this as you held me by the throat

Cuando todavia era un joven
[When I was still a young boy]
I hit my sister we were in a fight
Abuelo vino pa’ poner la orden
[Grandfather came to lay down the law]
He came to cut my balls off that night

Me puso arriba del gabetero
[he put me up on the dresser]
That’s when he took out his knife
Porque papi le pego a mami?
[Why did daddy hit mommy?]
How does a man hit his wife?

I really wouldn’t call myself precocious
I really wouldn’t say I was so smart
Pero en ese momento pude entender
[But in that moment I was able to understand]
The meaning of a broken heart.
