El Bailongo En Lo Del Rengo Cuarteto Leo (English Translation) Lyrics

When the commotion started at the Rengo’s place
The high society people were dancing a melody
They handed me the card
A half-blind woman
With a slippery name

And Rengo was dancing somewhat trotting
Dressed in a tuxedo and espadrilles with a mustache
Around two in the morning
In the middle of the mess, the police chief arrived
And grabbing Rengo by the tuxedo
Grabbing him by the neck, he said: Come here

Where is the permit to dance?
If I said I didn’t give it to you
And you started playing dice
Come here, don’t shoot
Let’s see if you, sergeant, the regulations
Show him

And the commotion started at Rengo’s, my friend!

And the not-so-bright sergeant
With a terrible machete blow, cut his neck
And they immediately carried him to the side
And he was all cooked, ready for the wake

Later, the woman came out in flip-flops
Tying her hair back, preparing to bury him
And then, she shouted at Pestaña
To bring the “caña”, let’s celebrate

That’s how loyal Rengo left
And his wife who loved him ardently
With Macedo, the troubadour, ran away the next day
That’s how the cruel night went by
And because I wanted to dance cumbia
I got a beating and the dance party ended all wrong
