| The faucet she is dripping and the fence she’s fallin' down |
| My pocket needs some money, so I can’t go into town |
| My brother isn’t working and my sister doesn’t care |
| The car she needs a motor so I can’t go anywhere |
| (mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me) |
| My mother’s always working, she’s working very hard |
| But every time she looks for me I’m sleeping in the yard |
| My mother thinks I’m lazy and maybe she is right |
| I’ll go to work mañana but I gotta sleep tonight |
| (mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me) |
| Oh, once I had some money but I gave it to my friend |
| He said he’d pay me double, it was only for a lend |
| But he said a little later that the horse she was so slow |
| Why he give the horse my money is something I don’t know |
| (mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me) |
| (mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me) |
| My brother took a suitcase and he went away to school |
| My father said he only learned to be a silly fool |
| My father said that I should learn to make a chile pot |
| But then I burned the house down, the chile was too hot |
| (mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me) |
| The window she is broken and the rain is comin' in |
| If someone doesn’t fix it I’ll be soaking to my skin |
| But if we wait a day or two the rain may go away |
| And we don’t need a window on such a sunny day |
| (mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me) |
| Oba! Oba! |
| (mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me) |
| Oba! Oba! |
