¿Dónde,

dónde estabas tú?

¿Dónde,

dónde estabas tú?

¿Dónde tú estabas,

José Inés,

que ayer fui a buscarte

y no te hallé?

Te llevaste los cueros,

el quinto y el tres

y por tu culpa suspendimos el bembé.

¿Dónde,

dónde estabas tú?

¿Dónde tú estabas,

José Inés,

que fuimos a buscarte

a casa de Mercé

a casa de Lola, Tomasa y Ester,

a casa de Ñico,

de Jacinto y Andrés.

¿Dónde,

José Inés?

¿Por qué tú no fuiste

anoche al bembé?

Si no quieres problemas

conmigo José,

que aparezcan pronto

el quinto y el tres.

Where were you?

Where were you,

José Inés,

when I went to look for you yesterday

and didn't find you?

You wore your .... leather jacket? "los cueros"

"el quinto y el tres" (very quickly??)

and because of you "suspendimos el bembé".

Where,

Where were you?

José Inés,

In Mercé's house,

José Inés?

Why didn't you come

to "bembé" last night?

If you don't want to have problems

with me José,

you better come quickly,

"el quinto y el tres". (as fast as you can??)

Hi Izabela:

Have you confirmed the translation of this phrase? I love to learn new idioms!

And finally I managed (with some assistance) to translate the missing bits:

You took your drums

the drum and the guitar

and because of you we put off the party.

(...)

If you don't want to have problems

with me José,

then they’d better appear fast,

the drum and the quitar.
