Paroles et traduction Simón Díaz - El Alcaraván

El Alcaraván

El perico en el conuco,
La totuma en el corral
Y hasta el gallo carraspea
Cuando pasa un animal.

Allá en mi pueblo
Cuando pasa un alcaraván,
Se asustan las muchachas
Por el beso del morichal.

El perro de la casa
Se levanta y sale pa'llá,
Pa'llá, pa' ibera
Porque no le gusta pelear.

Que fuiste tú, que si yo,
Que no, que si tú,
Te vieron que llevabas
Cafecito al morichal,
Y que Pedro en los maizales
Tus espigas reventaba.

Y esa noche la luna
Se puso bonita, clarita,
Que hasta Pedro se asusta
Si pasa algún alcaraván.

The Ani

The parrot in the conuco,
The totuma in the corral
And even the rooster coughs
When an animal passes by.

There in my town
When an ani passes by,
The girls get scared
By the kiss of the morichal.

The house dog
Gets up and goes over there,
Over there, to the river
Because he doesn't like to fight.

That it was you, or if it was me,
That no, that if you,
They saw that you were taking
Coffee to the morichal,
And that Pedro in the cornfields
Was breaking your corncobs.

And that night the moon
Became beautiful, clear,
Even Pedro gets scared
If a ani passes by.
