Текст и перевод песни Calixto Ochoa - Remanga

Remanga

Comadre Chepa deme razón de Remanga
Que por ahí me dijeron que ya había regresao
Yo vine a ve'si es mentira o si es verdá
Porque está regao un chisme que vino malograo
Yo vine a ve'si es mentira o si es verdá
Porque está regao un chisme que vino malograo

Si señó compadre Yoyo
Ya Remanga regresó
Pero vino con la frente y la nariz carraspelá,
Vaya usté a ve'si le dice que fué lo que le pasó
Porque yo le he preguntao
Y no me contesta na'
Na', na', na'y no me contesta na'
Na,'na,'na'y no me contesta na'

Y así fué que le dijo Yoyo a su colega Remanga
¡ Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii Remanga ¡
Estas vivo o estas muerto?
Le dice Remanga
Ahí hombe Yoyo
¡ malditasea ¡
Si estoy vivo es de pura vaina
Mira como tengo la nariz toa'carraspelá

El día ese que nos acboliamos los tragos
Yo te dije que había vendío la yegua
Porque me iba pa'la poblacion
Bueno, ese mismo día me largué
Y llegué ahí al cruce de guayabo
Ahí me dejé caé una docena de arepa,
Unas tajás de queso, ocho bollos cocíos
Y una totuma de leche

Y me fuí pa'los tres cruce
A esperá la chiva
Cuando en eso chuacate
Llega la chiva
Pero venía hasta los téque
To' los tauretes venían taquiaos de gente
Me tocó irme alla' troa en la rabiza de la chiva
Vea y le clava ese hombre la pata a ese animá
Que eso no más se oía cuando bordiaba el solo
Ayyy, ayyy, ayyy y yo agarrao
Dije
Aqui pa'que me saques carajo tendras que desarmarle

Cuando vamos llegando a la poblacion
Me dieron un dolor de barriga
Pero de esos machos
Y yo le hacía seña al manejadó de la chiva
Pero que vá si ese carajo ni miraba pa'tras
Cuando ya no pude aguantarle el taco al doló
Me fuí por el callejon de la chiva
Agarrao, de taurete en taurete

Cuando en eso se atraviesa una burra
Vea y le clava ese hombre los freques a ese aparato
Chua, chuas que eso no'más
Se oyó cuando perduró
Chissssssssss¡

Y ahí va ese de cabeza vea
En seguida me carraspelé
Frente, nariz y toa'esa vaina

Bueno me paré, me sacudí
Y le dije al manejadó de la chiva
Vea usted pare
Pa 'yo bajarme
Usted cree que va acaba con migo
Bueno, medio paró y chuacate
Me acbolié de la chiva

Y seguí caminando to'retrechero
Porque me acordé que la mujé mía me dijo cuando salí
"Remanga, cuidate mijo.
Que en la poblacion hay mucho sartiadores
Y ellos conocen al forastero"
Hombe, no caminé cuatro palos cuando en eso chuacate
Tres tipos y que
Entregueme la plata, deme la plata
Le dije yo
Cua' plata, yo cargo plata de usted,
Yo lo que tengo aquí es la plata de la yegua
Y me sale uno y que más guapito y que

"Mira viejo loco, entregas la plata o te pelamos"
Cuando me dijo "te pelamos "
Dije ya esto va por mal camino

Hombe Yoyo, yo llebaba la plata en el bolsillo izquierdo
Con más de veinte nudos echao's
Y cuando estaba soltando el primer nudo
Me cayeron esos carajos
Como golero pues,
Chuass y me rompieron to'el pantalon

Bueno les dije
Ahy hombe deme si quiera pa'la chiva,
Pa yo devolvelme.
Pa la chiva
Me dijo uno
Te vas a lleva'es un empujon
Que te vas a morí aqui ahora mismo
Hombe que gente esta
Tan, tan sin pecho en el corazon hombe

Y así como le digo
Me metieron un empujón
Que me hicieron pará
Las patas
Bueno, me paré, me sacudí y arranqué pa la casa
Pero to'adolorío

Hombe pero estaba tan demalas que apenas llegué acá me
Cae la enfermedá esa que está dando por ahí que le dicen y que el
ñango, el ñengue
Algo así
Pero fué el dengue que quiso decí Remanga.

Remanga

Comadre Chepa, tell me about Remanga
Because I heard through the grapevine that he had returned.
I came to see if it's a lie or if it's true
Because there's a rumor going around that he's come back in bad shape.
I came to see if it's a lie or if it's true
Because there's a rumor going around that he's come back in bad shape.

Yes sir, compadre Yoyo
Remanga is back.
But he came back with his forehead and nose all messed up,
Go and see if you can get him to tell you what happened to him,
Because I've asked him,
And he doesn't answer me.
Nothing, nothing, nothing, and he doesn't answer me.
Nothing, nothing, nothing, and he doesn't answer me.

And so it was that Yoyo said to his colleague Remanga:
¡ Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii Remanga ¡
Are you alive or are you dead?
Remanga says to him:
Oh man, Yoyo,
¡ Damn it ¡
If I'm alive it's by sheer luck.
Look how my nose is all messed up.

That day when we were having drinks,
I told you that I had sold the mare
Because I was going to the city.
Well, that same day I took off
And I got to the Guayabo crossroads.
There I had a dozen arepas,
A few slices of cheese, eight cooked buns,
And a bowl of milk.

And I went to Los Tres Cruces
To wait for the bus.
Suddenly,
The bus arrives,
But it was packed.
All the seats were packed with people.
I had to go and hang on to the back of the bus.
Man, that guy was really pushing that vehicle
You could only hear it when it was going around a bend.
Ayyy, ayyy, ayyy and I was holding on tight.
I said,
To get me off this thing, you'll have to take it apart.

As we were getting to the city
I got a stomachache.
But one of those really bad ones.
And I was signaling to the bus driver,
But that guy wouldn't even look back.
When I couldn't hold back the pain any longer,
I went through the aisle of the bus,
Holding on from seat to seat.

Suddenly, a donkey crosses the road
And that man slams the brakes on that thing.
Chua, chuas, that's all
You could hear as it lasted.
Chissssssssss¡

And there he goes head first, you see,
Immediately I got messed up,
Forehead, nose and all that.

Well, I got up, I dusted myself off,
And I told the bus driver,
Look, stop
So I can get off.
Do you think you're going to finish me off?
Well, he sort of stopped and suddenly
I got off the bus.

And I kept walking back,
Because I remembered what my wife told me when I left,
"Remanga, take care, son.
There are a lot of muggers in the city,
And they know who's an outsider."
Man, I hadn't walked four blocks when suddenly,
Three guys and they said,
Give me the money, give me the money!
I said to them,
What money, do I owe you any money?
What I have here is the money from the mare.
And one of them, the toughest one, says to me,

"Look, old man, hand over the money or we'll beat you up."
When he said, "we'll beat you up,"
I said, this is going downhill fast.

Man, Yoyo, I had the money in my left pocket,
Tied up with more than twenty knots.
And when I was undoing the first knot,
Those guys jumped me,
Like a goalie, you know?
Chuass, and they ripped my pants to shreds.

Well, I said to them,
Hey man, at least give me enough for the bus fare,
So I can go back.
For the bus?
One of them told me,
You're going to get a shove
That's going to kill you right here, right now.
Man, these people are
So, so heartless, man.

And just like I'm telling you,
They gave me a shove
That made me land on
My feet.
Well, I got up, I dusted myself off, and I took off running for home,
But all bruised up.

Man, but I was so unlucky that as soon as I got here I
Came down with that disease that's going around that they call the
ñango, the ñengue,
Something like that.
But it was dengue fever that Remanga meant.
