Paroles et traduction Carlos y José - La Higuera

La Higuera

Ya la higuera se seco, tiene la raiz de fuera
Ya mi chatano me quiere porque andoen la borrachera
Venderemos toro y vaca venderemos la becerra
Toditito venderemoschinita menos la tierra
Ay que paredes tan altas y mi amor tan chaparrito
Quisiera ser albañil para bajarlas tantito
Que torres tan elevadas como no
Las tumba el aire
Cuanta muchacha bonitapara el hijo de mi madre
Ay que paredes tan altas
Como no las tumba el aire
El que no me pueda ver que vaya
Y vuelva a la tarde

The Fig Tree

My fig tree has withered, its roots are exposed
My girlfriend loves me because I'm always drunk
We'll sell the bull, the cow, and even the calf
We'll sell everything, my dear, except the land
The walls are so high, and my love is so short
I wish I were a builder, so I could lower them a little
The towers are so tall, but no
The wind will blow them down
How many pretty girls there are for my mother's son
The walls are so high
How the wind does not blow them down
If you can't see me, go away
And come back in the afternoon
