Lyrics and translation Evelyn Cornejo - Carmela




Carmela
Carmela
Yo vengo de San Rosendo a vivir a la ciudad
I came from San Rosendo to live in the city
Allá la vida es tranquila, pero nunca pasa na' Y aquí, me han dicho que aquí
There life is peaceful, but nothing ever happens. And here, they told me that here
Se trabaja poquito y na'
There is little work and nothing'
Y que dicen cositas lindas
And that they say nice things
Si una va emperifollá
If one goes out dressed up
Se trabaja todo el día, se duerme al anochecer
One works all day, sleeps at nightfall
Y apena' aclarea el alba, trabajamo' otra vez
And as soon as dawn breaks, we work again
Y aquí, me han dicho que aquí
And here, they told me that here
Se trabaja poquito y na'
There is little work and nothing'
Y que dicen cositas lindas
And that they say nice things
Si una va emperifollá
If one goes out dressed up
Apena' aclarea el alba trabajamo' otra vez
As soon as dawn breaks, we work again
La paga no 'tá muy buena
The pay is not very good
¿Pero qué le vamo'a hacer?
But what are we going to do?
Dígame, ¿qué piensa Ud.?
Tell me, what do you think?
Y aquí, me han dicho que aquí
And here, they told me that here
Se trabaja poquito y na'
There is little work and nothing'
Y que dicen cositas lindas
And that they say nice things
Si una va emperifollá
If one goes out dressed up
