Lyrics and translation Benito Canónico - El Totumo de Guarenas




El Totumo de Guarenas
The Totumo of Guarenas
Cuero!
My skin!
Aquí Estoy!
Here I am!
Cuando canto este totumo, yo no se lo que me dá,
When I sing this totumo, I don't know what it is that gives me,
Que me pone en condiciones, de tocá, cantá y bailar,
That puts me in the condition, to play, sing and dance,
Cuando canto este totumo mi amor, yo no se lo que me dá,
When I sing this totumo, my darling, I don't know what it is that gives me,
Que me pone en condiciones, de tocá, cantá y bailar,
That puts me in the condition, to play, sing and dance,
Ay que totumo tan sabroso,
Oh, what a delicious totumo,
Que cuando suena en oriente mamá,
When it sounds in the east, mama,
Ay que totumo tan sabroso, ay cuando suena en caracas,
Oh, what a delicious totumo, oh when it sounds in Caracas,
Ya lo van a escuchar, lo van a zapatear,
You'll now hear it, you'll tap your feet,
Lo van a escobillá, y lo van a bailar
You'll scrub it and you'll dance to it.
Que totumo tan sabroso ya lo van a zapatear,
What a delicious totumo, now you'll tap your feet,
Si señor, como no, ay mamá, pa'gozá,
Yes sir, of course, oh mama, let's enjoy,
Qué totumo tan sabroso ya lo van a zapatear,
What a delicious totumo, now you'll tap your feet,
Pa'lante es pa'lla!
Forward, that's the way!
A matar bachaco na mas mijito!
To kill bugs and nothing else, my dear!
Este totumo señores, tiene esencia del tuyero,
This totumo, ladies and gentlemen, has the essence of the tuyero,
Que cuando suena en mi tierra, muchacho!
That when it sounds in my land, boy!
Entusiasma al mundo entero.
It inspires the whole world.
Este totumo señores, tiene esencia del tuyero,
This totumo, ladies and gentlemen, has the essence of the tuyero,
Que cuando suena en mi tierra,
That when it sounds in my land,
Entusiasma al mundo entero
It inspires the whole world
Ay que totumo tan sabroso, que cuando suena en miranda
Oh, what a delicious totumo, that when it sounds in Miranda
Ay que totumo tan sabroso mi amor, aragüeño y mirandino,
Oh, what a delicious totumo, my darling, from Aragua and Miranda,
Ya lo van a escuchar, lo van a zapatear,
Now you'll hear it, you'll tap your feet,
Lo van a escobilla, y lo van a bailar
You'll scrub it, and you'll dance to it.
Que totumo tan sabroso ya lo van a zapatear,
What a delicious totumo, now you'll tap your feet,
Si señor, como no, no me empujen!, que yo voy
Yes sir, of course, don't push me! I'm going
Qué por mucho que me empujen la misma persona soy,
No matter how much you push me, I'm still the same person,
