Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was not born in sunny Hispania.
My father came from Rovno Gubernya.
But now I'm here, I'm dancing a tango:
Di dee di! Dee di dee di!
[Verse 2]
I am easily assimilated.
I am so easily assimilated.
[Verse 3]
I never learned a human language.
My father spoke a High Middle Polish.
In one half-hour I'm fluent in Spanish:
Por favor! Toreador!
I am easily assimilated.
I am so easily assimilated.
[Verse 4]
It's easy, it's ever so easy!
I'm Spanish, I'm suddenly Spanish!
And you must be Spanish, too.
Do like the natives do.
These days you have to be
In the majority.
[Verse 5]
Tus labios rubí,
Dos rosas que se abren a mí,
Conquistan mi corazón,
Y sólo con
Una canción.
[Verse 6]
Mís labios rubí,
Dreiviertel Takt, mon très cher ami,
Oui oui, sí sí, ja ja ja, yes yes, da da.
Je ne sais quoi!
[Verse 7]
Me muero, me sale una hernia!
[Verse 8]
A long way from Rovno Gubernya!
[Verse 9]
Tus labios rubí,
Dos rosas que se abren a mí,
Conquistan mí corazón,
Y sóla con
Una divina canción
De tus labios rubí!
Rubí!
Rubí!
Hey!
[Verse 10]
Me muero, me sale una hernia,
A long way from Rovno Gubernya!
[Verse 11]
Tus labios rubí,
Dos rosas que se abren a mí,
Conquistan mí corazón,
Y sóla con
Una divina canción
De tus labios rubí!
Rubí!
Rubí!
Hey!
