Ropas que no era chic (Charlston)

Ropas que no era chic (Charlston)

Lyrics

Ropas que no eras chic
con cajones karislik
madmuaseles van i vienes
chic

Esto,
esto es es baile
la pena la vale
de verlo bailar

Translation

Clothes that were not chic 
are thrown in the drawers
mademoiselles go and come 
chic  This, 
this is the dance 
it is worth the trouble 
to see the dance
