Paroles et traduction Jaime Flores - El Consejo

El Consejo

Ayer vino mi compadre con mucha preocupación
A pedirme por favor que le quitara una duda
Como curarse la cruda para sentirse mejor
Sin que el remedio se suba
Y después resulte peor
Yo le dije compadre
La cruda es una tristeza
Y sólo puede curarse
Tomándose unas cervezas
Yo le aconsejo compadre
Que aguante como los machos
O deje de plano el chupe
O permanezca borracho
Un mudito de mi pueblo
Que a puras señas hablaba
Se fue a consultar a un brujo
Para ver si lo curaba
Y entre señas y pujidos
El mudito le explicaba
Que quería hablar un poquito
Para convencer a su amada
Le dijo el brujo al mudito
La cosa no es complicada
Lo mudo no te lo quito
Y no voy a cobrarte nada
Pero me traes a tu novia
Que venga bien relajada
Me la dejas medio día
Y te la regreso entrenada
Un buen amigo que tengo
Andaba en el otro lado
Y después de doce meses
Hoy por fin ha regresado
Me dijo muy afligido
Que su esposa dio un mal paso
Y la encontró a su regreso
Con seis meses de embarazo
Le dije mire mi amigo
Hay que atender a la esposa
A ella le gusta el dinero
Pero también otra cosa
Yo le aconsejo mi amigo
Acéptelo con orgullo
Si usté es dueño de la vaca
También el becerro es suyo

The Advice

Yesterday my friend came to me with a lot of worry
To ask me to help him resolve a doubt
How to cure his hangover so as to feel better
Without getting drunk
And then things get worse
I told my friend
A hangover is a sadness
And can only be cured
By having a few beers
My advice to you my friend
Is to bear it like a man
Or to stop drinking
Or to stay drunk
A mute from my village
Who spoke only in sign language
Went to consult a witch doctor
To see if he could cure him
And between signs and grunts
The mute explained
That he wanted to talk a little
To convince his beloved
The witch doctor said to the mute
The thing is not complicated
I will not take away your muteness
And I will not charge you anything
But you must bring me your girlfriend
So that she comes relaxed
Leave her with me for half a day
And I'll return her to you trained
A good friend of mine
Was living in the other side
And after twelve months
Today he has finally returned
He told me very afflicted
That his wife had made a mistake
And he found her upon his return
Six months pregnant
I said to him, my friend
You have to take care of your wife
She likes money
But also something else
My advice to you my friend
Is to accept it with pride
If you own the cow
The calf is also yours
