Paroles et traduction Odilio Gonzalez - Negando Su Idioma

Negando Su Idioma

Hay jibaros al regresar
De los Estados Unidos niegan a sus conocidos
En forma espectacular

Muchos no quieren hablar la lengua de su paiz
Al queso le dicen CHEESE
POT le dicen al tiesto y para decir que es esto
Nos preguntan, WHAT IS THIS?

Si pasan por Manati
Y ven un palo de pana le preguntan a sus hermana
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT TREE?
Por decirnos, ven a mi suelen decirlo COME ON
Y si es VAN.
De los imbeciles que son
Le dicen BIRD al pichon y SCORPION al alacran

Dicen a la calle STREET
STATION a la emisora y para saber la hora
Preguntan, WHAT TIME IS IT?
A la carne llaman MEAT
A la linea llaman LINE
Lo fino lo llaman FINE
Y su verguenza es tan corta que por decir no me importa
Lo dicen que NIVER MIND.

Le dicen BUS a la guagua
A una regla llaman RULER y le llaman WATER COOLER a un
Congelador de agua.
Le dicen PORCH a la fragua al vuelo le dicen FLIGHT
Al ojo le llaman EYE.
Le dicen HONEY al melao y si te cantas pelao ellos
Te gritan BYE BYE
Y si te cantas pelao ellos te gritan BYE BYE

Denying Their Language

There are hillbillies returning
From the United States, they deny their acquaintances
In a spectacular way

Many do not want to speak the language of their country
They call cheese CHEESE
They call the pot POT and to say what is this
They ask us, WHAT IS THIS?

If they pass by Manati
And see a jackfruit tree, they ask their sister
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT TREE?
To tell us, come to me they usually say COME ON
And if it is a VAN.
Of the imbeciles they are
They call the pigeon BIRD and the scorpion SCORPION

They call the street STREET
STATION to the station and to know the time
They ask, WHAT TIME IS IT?
They call meat MEAT
They call the line LINE
They call it fine FINE
And their shame is so short that to say I don't care
They say NIVER MIND.

They call the bus BUS
They call a ruler RULER and they call a water cooler a
Water freezer.
They call the forge PORCH, they call the flight FLIGHT
They call the eye EYE.
They call honey honey and if you sing hairless they
They shout BYE BYE
And if you sing hairless they shout BYE BYE
