Original lyrics

Cahuates, Pistaches

Y todos a bailar! rico rico rico

Yo vengo desde escuinapa a mazatlan a trabajar

Y tengo una bicicleta con una jabita atras

Me dicen el pelirojo yo no se porque será

Yo vendo mis cahuatitos y pistaches nadamas

Y la gente me dice y la gente me llama

Y como le llaman compadre y como le llama

Cahuates cahuates cahuates cahuates

Cahuates pistaches

A cuanto la bolsa

A diez la bolsita

Con sal y limon y chile

Y todos a bailar

Rico rico rico

Yo vengo desde escuinapa a mazatlan a trabajar

Y tengo una bicicleta con una jabita atras

Me dicen el pelirojo yo no se porque será

Yo vendo mis cahuatitos y pistaches nadamas

Y la gente me dice y la gente me llama

Y como le llaman compadre y como le llama

Cahuates cahuates cahuates cahuates

Cahuates pistaches

A cuanto la bolsa

A diez la bolsita

Con sal y limon y chile

Cahuates pistaches

A cuanto la bolsa

A diez la bolsita

Con sal y limon y chile

Con sal y limon y chile!

Translation

Peanuts, Pistachios

And everyone, dance! So good, good, good

I come all the way from Escuinapa to work in Mazatlan,

I have a bicycle with a backpack behind it,

They call me 'redhead' I don't know why that is,

I just sell my peanuts and pistachios,

I just sell my peanuts and pistachios.

And people tell me, and people call me

And what are they called, pal?

And what are they called?

Peanuts, peanuts, peanuts, peanuts1

Peanuts, pistachios,

How much per bag?

Ten2 per bag,

Ten per bag,

With salt, lime and hot sauce,

And everybody dance,

So good, good, good

I come all the way from Escuinapa to work in Mazatla,

I have a bicycle with a backpack behind it,

They call me 'redhead' I don't know why that is,

I just sell my peanuts and pistachios,

I just sell my peanuts and pistachios.

And people tell me, and people call me

And what are they called, pal?

And what are they called?

Peanuts, peanuts, peanuts, peanuts

Peanuts, pistachios,

How much per bag?

Ten per bag,

With salt, lime and hot sauce,

Peanuts, pistachios,

How much per bag?

Ten per bag,

With salt, lime and hot sauce,

1. He's saying 'cahuates', but the full word is 'cacahuates'. I think he's saying it like 'cahuates, shortening it or maybe it's a regional thing.
2. Since the band is from Mexico, I'm assuming pesos. So with today's current value, about 65¢.

Thanks! ❤
