Click to return to the Folkloric and Popular Songbook of Honduras
To the capotin tin tin tin
It’s going to rain tonight
To the capotin tin tin tin
It’s going to rain tonight. (repeat)
Look out, good woman
Owner of my heart
And listen to the sad complaints
Of your loving troubadour. (repeat)
To the capotin tin tin tin
It’s going to rain tonight
To the capotin tin tin tin
It’s going to rain tonight.
What struggles a man goes through
For the love of a woman
He exhausts himself, loses sleep
And goes without eating.
To the capotin tin tin tin
It’s going to rain tonight
To the capotin tin tin tin
Until dawn.
Do you want me to put on the white cape
Do you want me to put on the blue cape
Do you want me to wear the red hat
Do you want me to wear whatever you desire.
Don’t kill me, don’t kill me
With a gun or a knife
Kill me with a little kiss
From your coral lips.
To the capotin tin tin tin… (repeat)
