Lyrics and translation Juan Piña - El Fuete




El Fuete
The Whip
Miraba El Horizonte Donde Se Oculta El Sol
I gazed out at the horizon where the sun sets
Sabiendo Que A Mi Espalda La Luna Despuntaba
Knowing that behind my back the moon was rising
Y Se Escuchaban Los Comentarios
And the gossiping could be heard
Mientras La Noticia Iba Rodando
As the news went around
Haciendo Honor Al Folclor
Doing honor to the folklore
Al Uno "el Cacique" Lo Apodaban
One they nicknamed "the Cacique"
Mientras Que Al Otro "el Fuete" Lo Llaman
While the other one they call "the Whip"
De Corazón
From the heart
Era La Locura Gritaba La Gente
It was madness, the people cried out
Y Precisamente El Pueblo Entero Se Emocionó (bis)
And the whole town was thrilled (twice)
Vienen Lluvias De Verano
Summer rains are coming
Se Acrecienta El Entusiasmo
Enthusiasm is growing
Solo Reina El Amor
Only love reigns
Y Aquellos Enamorados
And those who were in love
Muchos De Ellos Se Han Casado
Many of them got married
Agradecidos Son
Grateful they are
Que Canten Es La Que La Gente Quiere
That they sing is what the people want
Que Toquen, Que Toquen Juancho Y Diomedes
That they play, that Juancho and Diomedes play
Qué Pintor Describiría
What painter could describe it?
Sólo Molina Podría
Only Molina could
Que Viva El Folclor Del Valle
Long live the folklore of the Valley
Pero El Destino Los Separó
But destiny separated them
Por Dos Caminos Los Enrumbó
It set them on two different paths
Miren Que Vaina El Mismo Destino Los Encontró (2)
Look, the same destiny brought them together (twice)
No Hay Piedra Que Resista En Una Cascada
No rock can resist a waterfall
Y En Cosas Del Artista La Gente Es La Que Manda
And in matters of the artist, the people are the ones who rule
Y Un Día De Tantos Se Asomó El Alba
And one day of many, the dawn broke
Cuál Será El Santo La Gente Aclama
Which saint will it be, the people ask
Para Pedirle El Favor
To ask her for a favor
Interiormente Los Dos Deseaban
Deep down, they both desired it
Razones Iban Razones Daban
They gave reasons and took reasons
Se Hizo La Unión
The union was made
Volvió La Locura
The madness returned
Y Ahora Más Consciente
And now more consciously
Y Efusivamente El Pueblo Enteró Se Emocionó (2)
And the whole town was thrilled (twice)
Los Novios Que Terminaron
The lovers who had broken up
Nuevamente Se Ennoviaron
Fell in love again
Reconciliación
Reconciliation
Todos Los Enamorados
All the lovers
Recuerdan Lo Más Bonito
Remember what was most beautiful
Aquí Ganó El Folclor
Folklore won here
Escuchen Cómo La Gente Los Quiere
Listen to how much the people love them
Que Sufren Como Cuando Un Amor Muere
That they suffer as when a love dies
Y Un Sanjuanero Diría
And a Sanjuanero would say
Yo Tranquilo Moriría
In peace I would die
Si Se Unen Juancho Y Diomedes
If Juancho and Diomedes reunite
Que Un Día El Destino Los Separó
That one day destiny separated them
Por Dos Caminos Los Enrumbó
It set them on two different paths
Miren Que Vaina El Mismo Destino Los Encontró (2)
Look, the same destiny brought them together (twice)
