Paroles et traduction Los Van Van - Un socio

Un socio

¡Bueno, si, ando buscando un socio pa' mi negocio!
Busco un personaje que tenga capital,
Con dinero suficiente y que me quiera ayudar.
Ando buscando un socio,
Para un negocio realizar.
Hablado: ¡mira, me dice la gente...!
Coro: Oye tu, tú estás loco ¿qué es eso de un negocio?
Tengo la experiencia
Que la calle a mí me ha dado.
He trabajado el mercado
De la permuta, del cambio,
Por eso estoy pensando yo
En un negocio realizar.
Hablado: Repito que la gente me dice...
Coro
He vendido ropa y zapatos,
Caramelo, cerveza y tabaco.
No me pregunten cúal es el modo,
En esta vida vale todo
Y no hay quien me haga un cuento,
Lo que haga falta yo lo resuelvo, eh, eh.
Coro segundo alterno: Un socio pa' mi negocio.
Ando buscando un buen socio que tenga capital,
Para montar un negocio que a todos pueda ayudar.
Voy a vender pan con queso en cajitas de cumpleaños,
Caramelo, cerveza y tabaco que no hacen daño.
Será el único negocio con los precios bien bajitos.
Pero no te preocupes, yo sé que ganas poquito.
Yo no soy como esa gente,
Que en cada esquina a diario,
Que con cierta indiferencia,
Le vende su alma al diablo.
Un socio pa' mi negocio yo quiero.
Voy a venderte malanga, limones y caramelos.
Hablado: Oye, será Samuel...
Coro tercero alterno: Oye tú ¿qué es eso?
Yo quiero saber, caramba, qué es lo que es esto.
Todo el mundo aquí en La Havana
Anda criando un cochino
Y la gente lo alimenta con la sobra del vecino,
El vecino, que con el dueño
Siempre ha tenido un detalle,
El dueño que cuando lo mata,
Sale a venderlo a la calle.
Y yo no sé, yo no sé, yo no sé lo que es esto.
Coro: (bis)
Mira, yo no sé, caramba ¿qué es esto?
Coro tercero alterno:
Allá por 51 todo el mundo vende maní.
Tabletica y cucurucho, porque así te gusta a tí.
La gente se está casando para vender la cerveza,
Pobre de sus sentimientos
Que sólo albergan tristezas.

A partner

Well, yes, I'm looking for a partner for my business!
I'm looking for a person with capital,
With enough money and who wants to help me.
I'm looking for a partner,
To carry out a business.
Spoken: Look, people tell me...!
Chorus: Hey you, you're crazy what's this business thing?
I have the experience
That the street has given me.
I have worked in the market
Of bartering, of exchange,
That's why I'm thinking
In carrying out a business.
Spoken: I repeat that people tell me...
Chorus
I have sold clothes and shoes,
Candy, beer and tobacco.
Don't ask me how,
In this life everything is worth it
And no one can tell me a story,
Whatever it takes I'll figure it out, hey, hey.
Second alternating chorus: A partner for my business.
I'm looking for a good partner who has capital,
To set up a business that can help everyone.
I'm going to sell bread with cheese in birthday boxes,
Candy, beer and tobacco that do no harm.
It will be the only business with very low prices.
But don't worry, I know you make very little.
I'm not like those people,
That every corner at daily,
That with a certain indifference,
He sells his soul to the devil.
I want a partner for my business.
I'm going to sell you taro, lemons and candies.
Spoken: Hey, it's going to be Samuel...
Third alternating chorus: Hey you, what is that?
I want to know, gosh, what is this.
Everyone here in Havana
He's raising a pig
And people feed it with their neighbor's leftover,
The neighbor, who with the owner
He has always had a detail,
The owner who when he kills it,
He goes out to sell it in the street.
And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what this is.
Chorus: (bis)
Look, I don't know, gosh what is this?
Third alternating chorus:
Around '51 everybody sells peanuts.
Tablets and cones, because that's how you like it.
People are getting married to sell beer,
Poor of his sentiments
That only harbor sadness.
