LETRA: 
Siempre a las tres en el ventanal
Sin falta, en las esquinas la verás
Esa carmen ve la gente pasar
Basta ya, el olor a quema'o llega hasta acá
Cierra, Carmen, ve, se quema el arroz

Coro: Cierra, Carmen, se quema el arroz
Esa mujer mira siempre a la gente pasar
(Coro)
Cada día a las tres en el ventanal
(Coro)
Y el olor a quema'o llega hasta acá
(Coro)

(Coro)
Sus frijoles, su yuca, y su puerco sala'o
(Coro)
Dile a Carmencita que se compre un extintor
(Coro)

Óyeme mujer, métate en tus asuntos
Sólo queremos guarachar y cumbachar y disfrutar
Y gozar esta rica salsa dura del barrio
Wepa!

coro: Carmen, que no queme' ese arroz, oiga mujer
Ay mujer, ay mujer, ay mujer
(coro)
Que no quemes, que no quemes, que no quemes
(coro)
Ese arroz, ese arroz, ese arroz
(coro)


LYRICS:
Always at three at the window
Without fail, on the corners you will see her
That Carmen sees the people go by
Enough already, the smell of burning reaches here
Close it, Carmen, go, your rice is burning

Chorus: Close it, Carmen, your rice is burning
That woman always watches people go by
(Chorus)
Every day at three at the window
(Chorus)
And the smell of burning reaches here
(Chorus)

(Chorus)
Her beans, her yuca, and her salty pork
(Chorus)
Tell Carmencita to buy a fire extinguisher
(Chorus)

Listen to me woman, mind your own business
We just want to party and dance and have fun
And enjoy this tasty salsa music from the neighborhood
Woo!

chorus: Carmen, don't burn that rice, listen woman
Oh woman, oh woman, oh woman
(chorus)
Don't burn, don't burn, don't burn
(chorus)
That rice, that rice, that rice
(chorus)
