El Villanuevero - Carlos Vives traduction en anglais

El Villanuevero

De Reyes Torres Yo ya he recibio
Muchas razones y poco e'recao
Y ahora me dicen que está resentido
Porque no le he bautizado al pelao
Pero le juro compadre,
Que era estaba ocupao
Porque Escalona no sale,
Del algodón que ha sembrao (bis)
No se preocupe compadre
Que yo le bautizo al pelao (bis)
Pero compadre no siga tan serio
Porque este asunto se puede arreglá
Lo bautizamos pa' Santo Tomás
Pa'que le salga más Villanuevero,
Tiene que ser parrandero
Lo mismo que su papá
Y va a sabé tirá piedra
Porque nació en Villanueva.
Y será un tipo gritón
Como señor Celedón
Y bueno pa'las trompá
Como el Tite Socarrás
Y con las damas cumplido
Lo mismo que su padrino.
Una noticia me acaban de dar,
Yo sé quien debe de estar resentio
Porque me han dicho que al ahijado mío
Se lo ha robado el Tite Socarras
El Tite se ha confundio
Y quiere contrabandeá
Le voy decomisá,
El ahijado que era mío (bis)
Me le dicen al Tite Socarras
Que no se robe los ahijados ajenos
Que si no tiene le voy a prestá
Ciento cincuenta de los que yo tengo
No se preocupe compadre
Que yo le bautizo al pelao (bis)
Y es que Escalona no sale,
Del algodón que ha sembrao (bis)
No se preocupe compadre
Que yo le bautizo al pelao (bis)
Y es que Escalona no sale,
Del algodón que ha sembrao.

The Villanuevero

From Reyes Torres I have received
Many reasons and little relief
And now they tell me that he is resentful
Because I have not baptized the boy
But I swear to you, my friend,
That I was busy
Because Escalona doesn't come out,
Of the cotton he has planted (bis)
Don't worry, my friend
I will baptize the boy (bis)
But, my friend, don't be so serious
Because this matter can be resolved
We will baptize him for Saint Thomas
So that he will be more Villanuevero,
He has to be a party animal
Just like his father
And he will know how to throw rocks
Because he was born in Villanueva.
And he will be a loudmouth
Like Mr. Celedón
And good with his fists
Like Tite Socarrás
And polite with the ladies
Just like his godfather.
A news has just been given to me,
I know who must be resentful
Because they have told me that my godson
Has been stolen by Tite Socarras
Tite has been confused
And wants to smuggle
I will confiscate,
The godson that was mine (bis)
Tell Tite Socarras
Not to steal other people's godchildren
That if he doesn't have any, I will lend him
One hundred and fifty of the ones I have
Don't worry, my friend
I will baptize the boy (bis)
And Escalona doesn't come out,
Of the cotton he has planted (bis)
Don't worry, my friend
I will baptize the boy (bis)
And Escalona doesn't come out,
Of the cotton he has planted.
