A swift guarcha full of bravado from this pretentious character from a rough part of 1950's Havana.
The late Puntillita was a member of "Buena vista social club" and this is an early recording of him late 1950's classical recording and a gem in the history of Cuban Music.
Your threats are worthless because I'm not afraid, if you want to get a fire you can find me wherever you want, don't make a mistake with me because you will fail, it's obvious that you don't know that I'm baracutey. Nagüe, I warn you, you have to think, because if it occurs to you how much it will weigh on you, you know very well that I don't hide because I'm not afraid, if you want to get a fire you will succeed. I don't fear the jutíos nor the mice. You know very well that I live in the El Cumbán lot. Living on illusions you will die of disappointment, don't go with me I warn you for your own good. Finally I tell you that you won't be able to coerce me, you respect me because I'm baracutey. Baracutey!
No valen tus amenazas porque no tengo miedo,
si quieres sacar candela me tienes donde quieras,
conmigo no te equivoques porque vas al fracaso,
se nota que tú no sabes que soy baracutey.
Nagüe, yo te prevengo, tienes que meditar,
porque si se te ocurre cuanto te va a pesar,
bien sabes que no me escondo porque no tengo miedo,
si quieres sacar candela tú lo conseguirás.
No temo a los jutíos ni tampoco a los ratones.
Bien sabes que yo vivo en el solar El Cumbán.
Viviendo de ilusiones morirás de desengaños,
conmigo no te lances te lo advierto por tu bien.
Por último te digo que no podrás coaccionarme,
a mí tú me respetas porque soy baracutey.
¡Baracutey!
