lyrics

Tengo mi pelo cucu / I’ve got my nappy hair
Tengo mi pelo cucu / I’ve got my nappy hair
Solita cargo mi cruz / I carry my cross, all by myself
Por tener pelo cucu / Coz I got my nappy hair
No se quien eres tu / I don’t even know who you are
Por tener pelo cucu / Coz I got my nappy hair
Las puertas se me cierran / Doors are closing on me
No me vengas a fregar / Don’t start bugging me
No es que te vaya a extrañar, mi pelo lo wa’ estirar / It’s not like i’m gonna miss ya(hair), I’m just gonna stretch ya’
Pa pode i a la fiesta / So I that can go to the party
Mi oreja se me quemo / My ear got burn
La frente tambien llevo / My forehead got the heat too
Por tener pelo cucu / Coz I got nappy hair
Solita llevo mi cruz / I carry my cross all by myself
Reflejo en el espejo / In the mirror I see the reflection
Del niño que me gusta / of the little boy I like
Ninio blanco ojito azules / little white boy with the blue eyes
No quiere mi amor cucu / he don’t want my nappy love
Por tener pelo cucu / It’s coz I got my nappy hair
Niño blanco, de pelo bueno / little white boy with that good hair
Mi mama quiere casar / mama want me to marry
Cucu, cucu, cucu…/nappy nappy nappy
Mi mama quiere casar / marry me to the boy
Pa mejorar la raza / to improve our race
Y ya nunca tener mas / and leave that nappy hair behind
Ya no más pelo cucu / No more nappy nappy hair
Cucu cucu cucu cucu / Nappy nappy nappy…
