La Iguana - The Chieftains, Lila Downs

Una iguana se cayó de arriba de una escalera

Del porrazo que llevó se lastimó las caderas

Ay iguana mia para dónde vas

…que voy para el pueblo de soledad

Si será mentira o será verdad que en ese pueblo

No hay novedad que si lo hubiera es casualidad…

Si será tan fea, que iguana tan fea

Que se sube a un palo

Y luego se apea

Pone su huevito, lo cacaraquea

Se mete al hoyito, pa' que no la vean

Se mira en el espejo

Porque está muy fea

Haga usté lo mismo para que lo crea

A la jea jea a la jea jea

Una iguana se cayó de arriba de una escalera

Una iguana se cayó de la rama de un amate

Del porrazo que llevó se reventó los tomates

Ay iguana mía para dónde vas

…que voy para el pueblo de soledad

Si será mentira o será verdad

Que en ese puebo no hay novedad

Que si lo hubiera es casualidad…

Si será tan fea, que iguana tan fea

Que se sube a un palo, y luego se apea

Pone su huevito, lo cacaraquéa

Se mete al hoyito pa' que no la vean

Saca la patita, como que patea

Saca la colita, como que colea

Saca las uñitas, como que piuñea

Saca las narices, como narisea

Saca la cabeza, como cabesea

Saca la orejita, como que orejea

A la jea jea a la jea jea

Una iguana se cayó de la rama de un amate

An iguana fell from the top of a ladder

From the blow that she took she hurt her hips

Oh my iguana where are you going

…I'm going to the town of solitude

If it will be a lie or it will be true that in that town

There is no news that if there were it would be a coincidence...

If it will be so ugly, what an ugly iguana

That she climbs on a stick

And then she gets off

She lays her little egg, clucks it

She gets into the little hole, so they don't see her

She looks at herself in the mirror

Because she is very ugly

Do the same for him to believe

To the jea jea to the jea jea

An iguana fell from the top of a ladder

An iguana fell from the branch of an amate

From the blow he took, the tomatoes burst

Oh my iguana, where are you going?

…I'm going to the town of solitude

If it will be a lie or if it will be true

That in that town there is no news

If there were, it's a coincidence...

If it will be so ugly, what an ugly iguana

That she climbs on a pole, and then gets off

He lays his little egg, he clucks it

She gets into the little hole so they don't see her

Take out the little leg, like it kicks

Take out the tail, like it fishtails

Take out your little nails, like you piuñea

Get your nose out, like narisea

Get your head out, how you nod

Stick out the little ear, like it's earing

To the jea jea to the jea jea

An iguana fell from the branch of an amate
