Paroles et traduction Juan Gabriel - El Principio (En Vivo)

El Principio (En Vivo)

Un dia que andaba en el campo
Me encontre con el eterno
Y me dijo que el no cante y baile
Se va a ir al infierno
Como yo se ver profundo
Suelo ver la realidad
Yo veo dar vueltas a este mundo
Y muy triste ala humanidad
Sufre, pide y llora
Porque esta perdida
No sabe de donde viene
Quien es y a donde va
Marmolego, vargas, y villa
Le dijeron al buen dios.
Vamos hacer un marichi
Del cual saldran mas de dos
Yo no quiero verles tristes
Yo quiero verles alegres
No quiero verles sufriendo
Contentos yo quiero verles
Yo no quiero que me pidan
Porque todo les he dado
Quiero que canten y bailen
Porque asi estoy a su lado
Pedir no es bueno dar si
Yo quiero que cante y baile
Todo aquel que crea en mi
La musica viene del cielo
La cancion viene del hombre
La alegria nace del suelo
Y mariachi tiene por nombre
La musica es tan divina
Que a la gente enferma sana
La gente cuando esta sana canta y baila
Mas cuando ama.
Todo lo que hay en la vida
Es por causa y por efecto
Miren la naturaleza
No tiene ningún defecto
Igual es en cada hombre
En cada ser en este mundo
Nunca sufran, nunca lloren
Que la vida es un segundo.
Miren mexico si es lindo,
Mexico es encantador
Y todo es por sus artistas, su marichi y su folklor
Cantando y bailando siempre,
Hagan la paz no hagan la guerra
Porque cantando y bailando
Yo puse a girar la tierra
Pelear no es bueno, amar si
La música une a los pueblos
Y los pueblos se unen a mi
No todos tienen la suerte de nacer
Y de vivir
Todo aquel que cante y baile
Al infierno no ha de ir
Para que pelean tanto
En tantas y tantas guerra
Si al fin y al cabo con todo
Un día se va a quedar la tierra
Les diré una adivinanza
A ver quien me la adivina
Aquel que me la adivine,
Es que el mariachi le fascina
¿Que quiere decir mariachi,
Quien me lo puede decir?
Quiere decir dia de fiesta
En la lengua otomi
La musica viene del cielo
La cancion viene del hombre
La alegria nace del suelo
Y mariachi tiene por nombre
¡De mi tierra!

The Beginning (Live)

One day while walking in the field,
I met with the eternal one.
He told me if I don't sing and dance,
I'll go straight to hell.
As I can see deep within,
I tend to see reality.
I see this world spinning around,
And humanity, oh so sad.
It suffers, begs, and cries,
Because it's lost, you see.
It doesn't know where it comes from,
Who it is, or where it's going.
Marmolejo, Vargas, and Villa,
They said to the good Lord,
"Let's make a mariachi band,
From which many more will come."
I don't want to see you sad,
I want to see you joyful,
I don't want to see you suffering,
Happy, I want to see you.
I don't want you to ask of me,
Because I've given you everything.
I want you to sing and dance,
Because that way I'm by your side.
Asking is not good, giving is.
I want everyone who believes in me,
To sing and dance with glee.
Music comes from the heavens above,
The song comes from man.
Joy is born from the ground,
And mariachi is its name.
Music is so divine,
It heals the sick and weary.
When people are healthy, they sing and dance,
Even more so when they're in love.
Everything in life, you see,
Has a cause and effect.
Look at nature's grace,
It has no defect.
It's the same in every man,
In every being in this world.
Never suffer, never cry,
For life is but a second long.
Look at Mexico, so beautiful,
Mexico is charming, it's true,
And it's all thanks to its artists, its mariachi, and its folklore too.
Always singing and dancing,
Make peace, not war, I implore.
Because through singing and dancing,
I set the earth to spin and soar.
Fighting is not good, loving is.
Music unites the people,
And the people unite with me.
Not everyone has the luck to be born,
And to live, you see.
So everyone who sings and dances,
To hell will never go, believe me.
Why do you fight so much,
In so many wars and strife?
For in the end, with everything,
One day, the earth will take back your life.
I'll tell you a riddle,
Let's see who can guess it right.
Whoever guesses it correctly,
Is clearly fascinated by mariachi's light.
What does mariachi mean,
Who can tell me, my dear?
It means "a day of celebration",
In the Otomi language, it's clear.
Music comes from the heavens above,
The song comes from man.
Joy is born from the ground,
And mariachi is its name.
From my land!
