Mañana
Dave Barbour Lyrics

The faucet she is dripping and the fence she's fallin' down
The plumbing is failing and the fence is collapsing

My pocket needs some money, so I can't go into town
I lack money to venture into town

My brother isn't working and my sister doesn't care
My brother is unemployed and my sister is apathetic

The car she needs a motor so I can't go anywhere
The vehicle is inoperable due to an engine issue

(Mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me)
I don't need to take action immediately, mañana is soon enough

My mother's always working, she's working very hard
My mother is always toiling, putting in a lot of effort

But every time she looks for me I'm sleeping in the yard
Whenever my mother searches for me, I'm snoozing in the yard

My mother thinks I'm lazy and maybe she is right
My mother believes I'm indolent and she might be correct

I'll go to work mañana but I gotta sleep tonight
I plan to work tomorrow, but I need to sleep tonight

Oh, once I had some money but I gave it to my friend
In the past, I had some money, but I loaned it to my friend

He said he'd pay me double, it was only for a lend
My friend promised to repay double, it was only a loan

But he said a little later that the horse she was so slow
Later, my friend claimed that the repayment was slow due to a slow horse

Why he give the horse my money is something I don't know
I'm unaware why he'd link the horse and my money

My brother took a suitcase and he went away to school
My brother left for school with a suitcase

My father said he only learned to be a silly fool
My father believes that my brother's education is useless and foolish

My father said that I should learn to make a chili pot
My father insists that I should learn to cook chili

But then I burned the house down, the chili was too hot
I accidentally set the house on fire due to overcooking chili

The window she is broken and the rain is comin' in
The window is damaged, allowing rain to enter

If someone doesn't fix it I'll be soaking to my skin
If the window isn't repaired, I'll become drenched in the rain

But if we wait a day or two the rain may go away
If we wait a bit, the rain might stop

And we don't need a window on such a sunny day
We don't require a window on a bright, sunny day

(Mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me) Oba! Oba!
I don't need to act immediately, mañana is soon enough - Oba! Oba!

(Mañana, mañana, mañana is soon enough for me) Oba! Oba!
I don't need to act immediately, mañana is soon enough - Oba! Oba!
