Panfilo's Teeth
[Don Octavio:]Come on boys, it's getting closer to Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.
Make your requests, time is running out, running out, running out.
[Anacleto:]
This year I want Santa Claus to bring me
A bicycle that goes really fast.
[Demetrio:]
That's great, Anacleto! And you'll lend it to me, yes?
[Anacleto:]
And you, Demetrio, what are you going to ask for?
[Demetrio:]
I want him to bring me skates and a plane, a plane, a plane.
Also a toy car and if he can a ball, a ball, a ball.
But even more I would like some boxing gloves
To hit Panfilo, for evil and abuse. (Heh heh heh)
[Panfilo:]
Hey, hey! What's your problem with me? Deal with him, get going.1
[Don Octavio:]
Panfilo, don't be a hothead!
[Panfilo:]
All me, all me. He was the one who started it.
They already had a problem with me a few days ago, this one and Anacleto.
[Don Octavio:]
You must have done something to them, Panfilo.
[Panfilo:]
They've been teasing me because my teeth in front here fell out.
[Don Octavio:]
Don't pay attention to them. Let's see, what do you want for Christmas?
[Panfilo:]
Well that.
[Don Octavio:]
What?
[Panfilo:]
My teeth.
[Don Octavio:]
Your teeth?
[Panfilo:]
All I want for Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.
Are my little teeth that I lost by shedding, by shedding, by shedding.
Because toothless like this I can't chew,
My air comes out when I want to whistle.
Earnestly, I'm asking Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Santa Claus
To bring me teeth, I need two, I'm missing two, I'm missing two.
They're right in front and it looks like a huge window.
And my little brothers start making fun of me.
Gosh, and it makes me angry
[Demetrio:]
Haha, Panfilo is toothless. (Heh heh heh)
What a beautiful little window you've got, Panfilo.
[Panfilo:]
Oh, you'll both pay me back when you lose your teeth
That is, if I don't knock them out before then.
[Don Octavio:]
Panfilo, hothead!
[Demetrio:]
Toothless!
[Panfilo:]
Your grandpa's toothless!
[Don Octavio:]
Panfilo!
[Panfilo:]
Don't yell at me, Guerrero!2
I don't want toys, Sir Mister Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Bring me my teeth, I want them both of them, I want both, I want them both.
So I can eat carnitas3, corn on the cob, and chicharron.4
I myself prefer my teeth over a toy car and a ball.
I'm so hungry, buddy!
Huh, the rest are already falling out!
