la carcacha english translation

Selena

What a cloud of smoke that has us choking
Everybody s asking but nobody knows what it is
An old car comes along honking
with tricycle tires and the motor backwards
I m waiting over on the corner
Like always, his faithful girl
My girlfriends are laughing,
whispering things about him
Carcacha* means THE JALOPY, step by step
don t stop coming along
Carcacha*, little by little
Don t leave us (2x)

Look girls, I m not sorry
and I m not ashamed of my man
Even if he s poor and has a carcacha
He treats me like a queen, a real man
And even if he has a carcacha
What matters is that I m with him
Maybe he s not the best-looking
But he is my faithful boyfriend
