Paroles et traduction NOEL PETRO - Me Voy Pal Salto

Me Voy Pal Salto

Me voy p'al Salto mi vida
Pero no es ha suicidarme
Ni a que me tomen retrato
Antecito de botarme
Acaso porque razón
He de querer condenarme
Más bien unto de jabón
Y a tunda voy a bañarme
Que risa me dá del que se suicida
Dejando lo bello que tiene la vida
Con seguridad que el que así termina
De gallo no es n'a y mucho es gallina
Me voy p'al Salto mi vida
No te preocupes por mí
Que si he de morir chinita
Será por quererte a ti
Pero por si algo me pasa
No será en el Tequendama
Quiero morir en mi casa
Y acostadito en mi cama

I'm Going to Salto

I'm going to Salto, my darling
But it's not to kill myself
Nor to have my portrait taken
Just before I throw myself off
What reason could I possibly have
For wanting to condemn myself?
Instead, I'll grab a bar of soap
And I'm going to take a bath
It makes me laugh to think of those who kill themselves
Leaving behind all the beauty that life has to offer
Surely anyone who ends their life like that
Is no more than a coward
I'm going to Salto, my darling
Don't worry about me
If I should die, my love
It will be because I love you
But just in case something happens to me
It won't be at Tequendama Falls
I want to die in my home
Lying in my bed
