Lyrics and translation Rodolfo Aicardi - Fiesta en Mi Pueblo




Fiesta en Mi Pueblo
Fiesta in My Town
Qué buena está
How wonderful it is
Ahora la fiesta de mi pueblo
The festival in my town
Quiero volver
I want to return
Pa' bailar porro sabanero
To dance the sabanero porro
A la calle, al bosque quiero ir a bailar
To the street, to the forest I want to go dancing
Porque esta e' la fiesta de Venancio Pavón
Because this is the festival of Venancio Pavón
Hombre de perrenque y buen corazón
A man of fortitude and good heart
Como todo buen morrocoyero
Like every good person from Morrocoy
Cuando sube la banda a la calle Cruz
When the band takes to the streets of Cruz
Sigue la parranda hasta el amanecer
The party continues until dawn
Se viste de tigre don Ramón Quintín
Don Ramón Quintín dresses as a tiger
Alegra la fiesta, se va pa'l agüil
He brightens the festival, he goes to the aguil
Donde Martin Contreras termina hay sancocho 'e gallina
Where Martin Contreras ends, there's chicken sancocho
Hay sancocho 'e gallina
There's chicken sancocho
Donde Martin Contreras termina hay sancocho 'e gallina
Where Martin Contreras ends, there's chicken sancocho
Hay sancocho 'e gallina
There's chicken sancocho
La banda toca en la calle
The band plays in the street
Prende la vela Carmela
Carmela lights the candle
Zenaida grita: "¡Yo quiero
Zenaida shouts: "¡I want
Que me repitan la estera!"
You to play the estera again!"
Y no se cansa Eli Prieto
And Eli Prieto doesn't get tired
Parece un trompo en la acera
He seems like a spinning top on the sidewalk
Es que la fiesta en mi pueblo
Because the festival in my town
Óigame compadre, es cosa buena
Listen, my friend, it's a good thing
Donde Martin contreras termina hay sancocho 'e gallina
Where Martin Contreras ends, there's chicken sancocho
Hay sancocho 'e gallina
There's chicken sancocho
Donde Martin contreras termina hay sancocho 'e gallina
Where Martin Contreras ends, there's chicken sancocho
Hay sancocho 'e gallina
There's chicken sancocho
¡Uey!
Hey!
Qué buena está
How wonderful it is
Ahora la fiesta de mi pueblo
