Paroles et traduction Victor Jara - Iba Yo para una Fiesta

Iba Yo para una Fiesta

Iba yo para una fiesta
Cuando me pasó esta mano
Procuro sacar temprano
El boleto lo que cuesta.
El ruletero protesta
Cuando el boleto me dio
Diciéndome de que yo
Me lo pasé de inocente,
Porque en medio ′e la gente
Una niña se aflojó.

La niña muy asusta'
No halló a quien echarle la culpa
Y halló muy buena disculpa
Dándome a mí una mira′,
Se puso muy colora'
Cuando yo le dije así:
Señorita por aquí,
Que será lo que ha pasao,
Algo se le ha refalao
Del atracón que le di.

La niña puso querella
Y a justicia me llevó,
Ella dice que fui yo
Y yo digo que fue ella,
Para una niña tan bella
Claro que ésa era una ofensa
El público bien lo piensa,
Y el fiscal me preguntó,
Entonces le dije yo:
Ella fue la sinvergüenza.

Un hermano que tenía
Se dio por muy ofendío
Y como era merecío
Me mando a la policía,
El juez a mí me decía:
¿Porqué te culpan a ti?,
Dicen señor que yo fui
Por eso me traen preso,
Ella fue la del suceso
Y me echa la culpa a mí.

Al fin la niña después,
Vino y me dio un rempujón,
Y yo con justa razón
Otro empujón le pegué,
Ahí se vino otra vez,
Me pegó una pata',
Le aforré una bofeta′
Y se armó la pelotera,
Dijo el juez: todos pa′ juera,
A aflojarse por allá.

I'm Going to a Party

I'm going to a party
When this happened to me
An early start I try to keep
To buy the ticket that I need,
The bus driver protests
When he passed me the ticket
Telling me I
Was innocently mistaken,
Because in the crowd
A young woman passed out.

The very frightened girl
Couldn't find anyone to blame
And found a very good excuse
By giving me a look,
She became very angry
When I said to her:
Miss, what's going on here,
Something has happened to you,
You've been feeling bad
From the food that I gave you.

The girl filed a complaint
And took me to court,
She says it was me,
And I say it was her,
For a girl so beautiful
Of course it was an insult
The public thinks about it carefully,
And the prosecutor asked me,
Then I told him:
She was the shameless one.

A brother of hers
Was very offended
And as it was deserved
He sent me to the police,
The judge told me:
Why are they blaming you?,
They say that it was me
That's why they brought me here,
She was the one who caused the incident
And she's blaming me.

Finally, the girl
Came and pushed me,
And with good reason
I pushed her back,
She came at me again,
She kicked me,
I gave her a slap
And there was a brawl,
The judge said: Everybody out,
Get out of here.
