Paroles et traduction Maria Rivas - El Manduco

El Manduco

Manduco pa′ la ropa
Manduco pa' lava′
Mi manduquito pa' la ropa
Manduco pa' lava′

Mi mamá me dio el manduco, el manduco pa′ la ropa

El manduco (pa' la ropa)
El manduco (pa′ lava')
Que mi manduco (pa′ la ropa)
El manduco (pa' lava′)

La comadre Josefina ya no presta su manduco
Porque el negro Juan Bautista se lo lleva pa' pelear

Que mi manduco (pa' la ropa)
El manduco (pa′ lava′)
Que mi manduco (pa' la ropa)
El manduco (pa′ lava')

Ese negro Juan Bautista, lo que quiere es pelear
Y no ayuda a Josefina que tiene que trabaja′

Que mi manduco (pa' la ropa)
El manduco (pa′ lava')
Que mi manduco (pa' la ropa)
El manduco (pa′ lava′)

Desde aquí yo puedo ver lo bonita que es mi tierra
Todo verde sin fronteras, como Bolívar soñó
Tras los pasos de este sueño, sueño bello y diferente
Anunciamos los cantares de un futuro sembrador

Ay, qué bonita que es mi tierra, si todos somos hermanos
Somos todos un solo pueblo, una bandera tricolor
Desde aquí yo puedo ver lo bonito que es mi tierra
Todo verde sin fronteras, como Bolívar soñó

Mi mamá me dio el manduco, el manduco pa' la ropa

El manduco (pa′ la ropa)
El manduco (pa' lava′)
Que mi manduco (pa' la ropa)
El manduco (pa′ lava')

La comadre Josefina ya no presta su manduco
Porque el negro Juan Bautista se lo lleva pa' pelear

Que mi manduco (pa′ la ropa)
El manduco (pa′ lava')
Que mi manduco (pa′ la ropa)
El manduco (pa' lava′)

Ese negro Juan Bautista, lo que quiere es pelear
Y no ayuda a Josefina que tiene que trabaja'

Que mi manduco (pa′ la ropa)
El manduco (pa' lava')
Que mi manduco (pa′ la ropa)
El manduco es pa′ lava'

The Scrubbing Brush

Scrubbing brush for the clothes
Scrubbing brush for washing
My little scrubbing brush for the clothes
Scrubbing brush for washing

My mother gave me a scrubbing brush, a scrubbing brush for the clothes

The scrubbing brush (for the clothes)
The scrubbing brush (for washing)
My scrubbing brush (for the clothes)
The scrubbing brush (for washing)

My neighbor Josefina doesn't lend her scrubbing brush any more
Because black Juan Bautista takes it away to fight

My scrubbing brush (for the clothes)
The scrubbing brush (for washing)
My scrubbing brush (for the clothes)
The scrubbing brush (for washing)

That black Juan Bautista, all he wants to do is fight
And he doesn't help Josefina who needs to work

My scrubbing brush (for the clothes)
The scrubbing brush (for washing)
My scrubbing brush (for the clothes)
The scrubbing brush (for washing)

From here I can see how beautiful my land is
All green with no borders, just like Bolivar dreamed
Following the steps of this dream, a beautiful and different dream
We announce the songs of a future sower

Oh, how beautiful is my land, if we are all brothers
We are all one people, one tricolor flag
From here I can see how beautiful my land is
All green with no borders, just like Bolivar dreamed

My mother gave me a scrubbing brush, a scrubbing brush for the clothes

The scrubbing brush (for the clothes)
The scrubbing brush (for washing)
My scrubbing brush (for the clothes)
The scrubbing brush (for washing)

My neighbor Josefina doesn't lend her scrubbing brush any more
Because black Juan Bautista takes it away to fight

My scrubbing brush (for the clothes)
The scrubbing brush (for washing)
My scrubbing brush (for the clothes)
The scrubbing brush (for washing)

That black Juan Bautista, all he wants to do is fight
And he doesn't help Josefina who needs to work

My scrubbing brush (for the clothes)
The scrubbing brush (for washing)
My scrubbing brush (for the clothes)
The scrubbing brush is for washing
