Paroles et traduction Pedro Infante - Coplas

Coplas

La gente dice sincera
Cada que se hace un casorio
Que el novio siempre la quiera
Sino que le hagan velorio
Para esta novia no hay pena
Pues va tener buen marido
Porque bueno es cosa buena
Por lo menos de apellido
Jorge Bueno es muy bueno hijo de bueno tambien
Y su abuelo hay que bueno
Quién se llamara como el
Procurare ser tan bueno
Como dice mi apellido
Que se trague su veneno
El que velorio a pedido
Pedro es malo de apellido
Retachar es su cuarteto
El nomas es presumido
Porque no es malo es... maleta
Pedro malo es muy malo
Malo por obligación
Y su abuelo, uy que malo
Ay que comprarle su león
En una mañana de oro
Alguien nublaba el paisaje
Eran un cuervo y un loro
Arrancandose el plumaje
Hay que olvidar lo pasado
Si la culpable es la suerte
Que bueno y malo mezclado
En regular se convierte
Yo soy malo, no lo niego
Pero quiesiera mezclar malo y bueno
Por si sale, algo que sea regular
Cierta alacrán de carroña
Un colmenar visitaba
Para ver si la ponzoña
Con la miel se le quitaba
Cómo no será lo bueno para
Placer del malvado
Con la miel y su veneno
Hoy anda el pobre, urgado
Que lo entienda, que lo entienda
Si es que lo sabe entender
Y si acaso no lo entiende
Hay que obligarlo a entender
Te consta que no soy tonto
Como tú, lo has presumido
Tonto no, sí entrometido
Por el hambre, de amistades
El hambre siempre la calmo con el manjar del amigo
Mendigo es sino mendigo el que roba a sus amigos
Tu lo dices
Lo sontengo
No te vayas a cansar
No le saques
Si le saco
Pues se acabo este cantar

Verses

People say in sincerity
Every time a marriage is made
That the groom should always love her
Otherwise have a wake for him
For this bride there is no sorrow
Because she's going to have a good husband
Because good is a good thing
At least in name
Jorge Bueno is very good son of good also
And his grandfather oh so good
Who was named like him
I'll try to be as good
As my last name says
Let him swallow his venom
The one who has asked for a wake
Pedro is bad by last name
Retachar is his quartet
He is only conceited
Because he is not bad he is... a bad one
Pedro malo is very bad
Bad by obligation
And his grandfather, oh so bad
Oh, we must buy his lion
In a golden morning
Someone was clouding the landscape
They were a crow and a parrot
Plucking each other's feathers
Let's forget the past
If the culprit is good fortune
That good and bad mixed
Turns into regular
I am bad, I don't deny it
But I would like to mix bad and good
To see if something comes out that is regular
A certain scorpion of carrion
Was visiting an apiary
To see if its poison
Would be cured with the honey
How good must it be for
The pleasure of the wicked
With the honey and its poison
Today the poor man is in pain
Let them understand it, let them understand it
If it is that they know how to understand
And if by chance they do not understand
They must be made to understand
You know that I'm not a fool
As you have presumed
Not a fool, yes a meddler
For the hunger, of friendships
I always calm the hunger with the delicacy of a friend
A beggar is if not a beggar the one who steals from his friends
You say so
I sustain it
Don't get tired
Don't take it out on me
If I take it out on you
Then this song is over
