The voice that she is dripping
and the fence she's fallen down.
My pocket needs some money
so I can't go in the town.
My brother isn't working
and my sister doesn't care.
The car, she needs a motor
so I can't go anywhere.
Manana, manana, manana,
it's soon enough for me
My mother's always working,
she's working very hard
But every time she looks for me,
I'm sleeping in the yard
My mother thinks I'm lazy,
and maybe she is right
I'll go to work manana,
but I gotta sleep tonight
Manana, manana, manana,
it's soon enough for me
Oh, once I had some money,
but I gave it to my friend
He said he'd pay me double,
it was only for a land
But he said a little later
that the horse he was so slow
Why he gave the horse
my money is something I don't know
Manana, manana, manana,
it's enough for me
My brother took a suitcase
and he went away to school
My father said he only
learned to be a silly fool
My father said that I should learn
to make a chili pot
But then I burned the house down,
the chili was too hot
Mañana, mañana, mañana,
it's too hot for me
The window sheet is broken
and the rain is coming in
If someone doesn't fix it,
I'll be soaking through my skin
But if we wait a day or two,
the rain may go away
And we don't need a window
on such a sunny day
Mañana, mañana, mañana,
it's a little hot for me
Oba! Oba!
Oba!
Oba!
