is Willie singing in spanish (Rosita!) and how does this translate in
english?

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,

The Spanish (with some spelling errors...):

Hey Rosita! Donde vas con mi carro Rosita?
tú sabes que te quiero
pero ti me quitas todo
ya te robasta mi television y mi radio
y ahora quiere llevarse mi carro
no me haga asi, rosita
ven aquí
ehi, estese aquí al lado rosita
Spanish Stroll

Mira aquí!

A very loose translation:

Hey Rosita! Where are you going with my car, Rosita?
You know I love you
but you took everything from me.
Already you robbed me of my television and my radio
and now you want to take my car.
Don't do me like this, Rosita,
come here, be here at my side Rosita.
Look here!

Buena Suerte (good luck). I'm a novice Spanish student, so someone else
probably has a better translation for you. But I truly understand where
you're coming from, since I sing in Spanish with a trio. I've found I
sing with far more emotion when I understand what I'm talking about :)))

Spanish Stroll
Album: Cabretta (1977)
(Written by Mink DeVille)

Hey Mr. Jim I can see the shape you're in
Got your finger on your eyebrow
And left hand on your hip
Thinking that you're such a lady killer
Think you're so slick!
Alright, slick

Brother Johny, he caught a plane and he got on it
Now he's a razor in the wind
And he got a pistol in his pocket
They say the man is crazy on the West Coast
Ain't no doubt about it!
Let's go
Spanish Stroll

Sister Sue tell me baby what are we gonna do
She said you take two candles,
And then you burn them out
Make a paper boat, set a march to it
And then you sendit out. send it out now..

Hey Johny! Yeah, tenth street Johny
We've been looking for you man
Everybody told me you had moved uptown
Hey! you wanna go for a ride
I'm going uptown myself
For what?

Yeah, ain't it right?
Yeah, one time for Tito Puente, one time
Are you ready?
Yeah, of course we cannot leave out, Mr Ray Baretto
Are you ready?Are you ready?Are you ready?
