Paroles et traduction Elíades Ochoa - Saludo Compay

Saludo Compay

Tiene mi bella región
Algo tierno que me encanta
Tras de sus verdes montañas
El bello sol se levanta
El bello sol se levanta

Tiene mi bella región
Algo tierno que me encanta
Tras de sus verdes montañas
El bello sol se levanta
El bello sol se levanta

Por los caminos se ven quimbuelos
Se ven arrastras, se ven potreros
Y los guajiros con mano franca
Se saludan compay, compay, compay

(Saludo a compay...)
Así se saludan los guajiros
Como está mi compay?
Saludeme a la comay
Así se saludan así
Los guajiros de monte adentro
(Saludo a compay...)

Planté cien janes de ñame
En un monte que tumbé
También le sembré café, oyga
Qué bonito se me ha dado
Mire, compay

(Saludo a compay...)
Como está mi compay?
Saludeme a la comay
Así se saludan los guajiros
Hey, qué pasa compay?
Como está la comay?
(Saludo a compay...)

Me gusta el tiempo de lluvia
Y que no haya mucho viento
Para tirarme en la cama
Hasta que levante el tiempo
Mire compay

(Saludo a compay...)
Como está mi compay?
Saludeme a la comay
Así se saludan los guajiros
Hey, qué pasa compay?
(Saludo a compay...)

Yo tengo nueve muchachos
Y todos de madrugá
Los perros ladran que ladran
Los gallos cantan que cantan
Y yo me convierto en papá
Mire compay

(Saludo a compay...)
Como está mi compay?
Saludeme a la comay
Así se saludan los guajiros
Los guajiros de monte adentro
Que siempre felizes y contentos
Arman saludando así
Hey, qué pasa, compay?
(Saludo a compay...)

(Saludo a compay...)
Cómo está mi compay?
Ay, mira Luizito!
Oye como saludan los guajiros
Saludan así compay
Oyga, saludan a la comay
Como está mi comay?
(Saludo a compay...)

Candela!

Greetings, My Friend

My fair region boasts
Something tender that delights me so
Behind its lush mountains
The beautiful sun rises
The beautiful sun rises

My fair region boasts
Something tender that delights me so
Behind its lush mountains
The beautiful sun rises
The beautiful sun rises

Along the paths, one sees guinea hens
One sees doves, one sees meadows
And the Guajiros with open arms
They greet each other, friend, friend, friend

(Greetings, my friend...)
This is how Guajiros greet each other
How are you, my dear friend?
Give my regards to the good lady
This is how they greet each other
The Guajiros from the mountains within
(Greetings, my friend...)

I planted a hundred yam cuttings
On a hillside that I cleared
I also planted coffee, my dear
How wonderfully it has grown for me
Look, my friend

(Greetings, my friend...)
How are you, my dear friend?
Give my regards to the good lady
This is how Guajiros greet each other
Hey, what's up, friend?
How is the good lady?
(Greetings, my friend...)

I like the rainy season
As long as there isn't much wind
So I can lie in bed
Until the weather improves
Look, my friend

(Greetings, my friend...)
How are you, my dear friend?
Give my regards to the good lady
This is how Guajiros greet each other
Hey, what's up, friend?
(Greetings, my friend...)

I have nine children
And they all get up early
The dogs bark and bark
The roosters crow and crow
And I become a father
Look, my friend

(Greetings, my friend...)
How are you, my dear friend?
Give my regards to the good lady
This is how Guajiros greet each other
Guajiros from the mountains within
Always happy and content
Singing and greeting each other
Hey, what's up, friend?
(Greetings, my friend...)

(Greetings, my friend...)
How are you, my dear friend?
My, look at Luizito!
Listen to how Guajiros greet each other
They greet each other like this, my friend
Listen, they greet the good lady
How is the good lady?
(Greetings, my friend...)

Wonderful!
