Paroles et traduction Farid Ortiz - El Machete

El Machete

Cuidado con mi machete que esta bien afilado
Pregúntale a petrona, pregúntale a marquesa
O pregúntale a toña, si ella no se ha cortado
Y me dijo socorro, yo te quiero desafiar
Tu estas hablando mucho, eres alabancioso
Y bastante embustero y ese machete viejo
Quizá no corte nada

Y ese machete viejo, hay que saberle entrar
Tiene filo en la espalda, tiene filo en el lomo
Tienen filo en el frente y la punta tiene más

Yo le dije a socorro, no lo vuelvas a tocar
Pero ella no hizo caso, se hizo la oreja sorda
Me sacaba la lengua, me bailaba pandeado
Y miren se volvió a cortar

Vamos a cambiar de temas, que esto sabroso esta
Y no vale la pena, porque el camino es largo
Bastante culebrero y nos volvemos a encontrar

Cuidado con mi machete, mi machete chiquito
Cuidado con mi machete, esta bien afiladito
Cuidado con mi machete, mi machete chiquito
Cuidado con mi machete, esta bien afiladito

Ay vamos a cartagena a el reinado nacional
Con todas las candidatas, vamos a la ballenera
Vamos un rato a la playa, al centro de convenciones
Y el machete va a bailar

Ay seguimos a barranquilla y su fiesta tradicional
Que son los carnavales, la batalla de flores
Esta la gran parada, concurso picotero
Y las comparsa popular

De ahí los invito al valle y su hermoso festival
Para que coman sancocho, escuchen acordeones
Vayan a los conciertos, se bañen en hurtado
Para desenguayabar

Me dijo una cachaca, yo quiero conocer
A ese machete tuyo, que tiene mucha fama
Que corta a todo el mundo, para ver
Cual es la bulla y sin culpa la corteja

Cuidado con mi machete, mi machete chiquito
Cuidado con mi machete, esta bien afiladito
Cuidado con mi machete, mi machete chiquito
Cuidado con mi machete, esta bien afiladito

The Machete

Beware of my machete, it is very sharp
Ask Petrona, ask Marques
Or ask Toña, if she hasn't cut herself
And she said Socorro, I want to challenge you
You're talking a lot, you're full of praise
And quite a liar and that old machete
It probably wouldn't cut anything

And that old machete, you have to know how to use it
It has an edge on its back, it has an edge on its spine
It has an edge on its front and its tip has more

I told Socorro not to touch it again
But she didn't listen, she turned a deaf ear
She stuck her tongue out at me, she danced at me
And look, she cut herself again

Let's change the subject, this is getting spicy
And it's not worth it, because the road is long
Quite bumpy, and we'll meet again

Beware of my machete, my tiny machete
Beware of my machete, it's really sharp
Beware of my machete, my tiny machete
Beware of my machete, it's really sharp

Oh, we're going to Cartagena to the national pageant
With all the candidates, we're going to the whaling boat
Let's go to the beach, to the convention center
And the machete will dance

Oh, we continue to Barranquilla and its traditional party
Which is the Carnival, the battle of flowers
There's the Grand Parade, the picotero contest
And the popular comparsa

From there I invite you to the Valle and its beautiful festival
So you can eat sancocho, listen to accordions
Go to the concerts, swim in Hurtado
To sober up

A cachaca told me, I want to meet
This machete of yours, which has a great reputation
That it cuts everyone, let's see
What's the fuss and I'll indulge her without guilt

Beware of my machete, my tiny machete
Beware of my machete, it's really sharp
Beware of my machete, my tiny machete
Beware of my machete, it's really sharp
