No no no no no, no no no no
No no no no no, no no no no
Esto es pa mi vino
Esto es pa mi pan
Esto es pa mi padre
Que era El Capitan
He was a macho sailor
Havana Cuban man
Even though he no speak-a the English
He was a lady's man
He went to Costa Rica
He went to Panama
Haciendome muchas hermanitas
Pero no con mi mama
But far across the ocean
There was a port of call
It was his home
It would be his fall
Esto es pa mi vino
Esto es pa mi pan
Esto es pa mi padre
Que era El Capitan
He was such a drinker
He brought the sea to land
He would pour its salt
On my mama's wounds
With the back of his hand
No no no no no, no no no no
No no no no no, no no no no
