Paroles et traduction Juan Luis Guerra - El Primo

El Primo

Juan Luis Guerra
Tengo un primo, Baldemiro, y no sé como calificarlo
Tengo un primo, Baldemiro, que se tuesta con un sol de mayo
Que maneja de reversa, que es poeta y escultor
Que cocina sin receta todo lo que quiere y más
Tengo un primo, Baldemiro, que se tranca como mesa de dados
Que es turista, licenciado, cirujano y buen actor
Periodista asalariado, todo lo que quiere y más
Que conoce a Michael Jordan y es actor
Que respira bajo el agua y es pintor
Que es sociólogo y piloto de avión, no, no, no, no
Que maneja de reversa, que es poeta y escultor
Que cocina sin receta todo lo que quiere y más
Que se viste de De la Renta al por mayor
Que es más fuerte que Sylvester Stallone
Que es turista, cirujano y buen actor
Que ha subido al pico Duarte, que es atleta y campeón
Que bucea sin un tanque, ve, todo lo que quiere
Que es turista, licenciado, cirujano y buen actor
Periodista asalariado, todo lo que quiere y más
Que respira bajo el agua y es doctor
Toca puerta y dice que toca trombón
Que es cantante, pelotero y boxeador, no, no, no

My Cousin

Juan Luis Guerra
I have a cousin, Baldemiro, and I don't know how to describe him
I have a cousin, Baldemiro, who gets sunburned in May
Who drives in reverse, who is a poet and sculptor
Who cooks without a recipe, everything he wants and more
I have a cousin, Baldemiro, who gets stuck like a craps table
Who is a tourist, lawyer, surgeon and good actor
Salaried journalist, everything he wants and more
Who knows Michael Jordan and is an actor
Who breathes underwater and is a painter
Who is a sociologist and airplane pilot, no, no, no
Who drives in reverse, who is a poet and sculptor
Who cooks without a recipe, everything he wants and more
Who dresses in De la Renta wholesale
Who is stronger than Sylvester Stallone
Who is a tourist, surgeon and good actor
Who has climbed Pico Duarte, who is an athlete and champion
Who dives without a tank, see, everything he wants
Who is a tourist, lawyer, surgeon and good actor
Salaried journalist, everything he wants and more
Who breathes underwater and is a doctor
Knocks on the door and says he plays the trombone
Who is a singer, baseball player and boxer, no, no, no
