Mercedes [English translation]

Mercedes is bathing

At the mouth of the river

My eyes are watching

But it's of a friend of mine

I didn't" want to watch her

But the it"s not my fault

She looks like an emerald

With the flowers of a beautiful tropical tree

I will tell my friend

How difficult it is for me

Over there is an alligator

That"s incredibly long

With more horns than a deer

And more teeth than 20 mouths

She is innocent of all

She bathes without realizing

That arriving around the (river) bend

The alligator comes near her

And I, alone in the canyon

And Mercedes without noticing

I'm running to her home

So my friend may know

I'll sing him this little refrain

And tell him what"s going on

There"s an immense risk

That faces his woman

I'll tell a friend

That we have to do something

In order to quickly save her

And rapidly I"m going with him

When we arrive at the well

The woman didn't see

The alligator feet above

Dreamt deliciously

I told him how heavily this weighs on me

And hugging him I tell him

Every once in awhile this happens

Such things are destined to happen,

And from here on out

You may count on your friend.
