Paroles et traduction Chichi Peralta - Rumores del Barrio

Rumores del Barrio

Son los rumores del barrio
Chismes de callejón
Que hacen del lleva y trae una profesión
Y cuando el rio suena
Es porque agua trae
Agua que va a caer...
O agua que cae
(Supiste la ultima, niña ven)
La muchachita que no era de na
Tan seriecita que privaba
Que no mataba ni una mosca
Y siempre con el novio por ahí en la madrugada
Josefina la del salon
La mujer de don Armando
Con el tipo del colmado
Un partido extra a escondidas esta jugando
Yo conozco un fortachon
Que presume de muy macho
Desde que se toma un trago
El se pone que camina, y habla medio raro
Miras la paja en ojo ajeno
Y no la estaca que tu tienes
Tu vives y comes de rumores
Y tu de eso te mantienes
Inventas mil y mira a ver
El chisme a mi si me entretiene
Tu hablas mucho de la gente
Solo lo que a ti te conviene
Yo tenia un amiguito
Que ahora es senador
Y tenia otro amiguito
Que a diputado se engancho
Y en menos que canta un gallo
Tiene 5 carros, 2 mansiones y un avion.

Neighborhood Gossip

They're the rumors of the neighborhood
Gossip of alleys
That make a profession of gossiping
And when the river sounds
It's because it's carrying water
Water that will fall...
Or water that is falling
(Did you hear the latest, girl?)
The girl who was a nobody
So serious that she stood out
That she wouldn't swat a fly
And always with her boyfriend out in the wee hours
Josefina from the salon
Don Armando's wife
With the guy from the grocery store
Is playing a secret extra match
I know a strongman
Who brags about being very macho
Ever since he's had a drink
He walks and talks funny
You see the speck in someone else's eye
And not the log in your own
You live and eat on rumors
And that's how you keep yourself going
You make up a thousand and one stories
Gossip does entertain me
You talk a lot about people
Only what suits you
I had a friend
Who is now a senator
And I had another friend
Who became a congressman
And in less time than it takes to say Jack Robinson
He has 5 cars, 2 mansions and a plane.
