Текст и перевод песни Daniel Santos - El Demonio del Batey

El Demonio del Batey

El demonio esta paseando en el batey
(El batey)
Y en su lista tiene tanto como a seis
(Como a seis)
Tiene a Juan, tiene a Pedro, Clodomiro y Juan José
De los otros de su lista yo no sé

Oh, señor sálvame, sálvame
Oh, señor, mírame, mírame,
Yo no sé, yo no sé,
Yo no sé, yo no sé
Donde ha ido juan José

El demonio esta buscando en el batey
(El batey)
Pecadores como el negro Juan José
(Juan José)
Si lo encuentra, si lo encuentra
Si lo encuentra yo no sé
Si es que pueda convertirlo con su ley

Oh, señor sálvame, sálvame
Oh, señor, mírame, mírame,
Si bailé, si tomé, si robé y así pequé
Será ultima, mi ultima esta vez

El demonio se encontró con Juan José
(Juan José)
Y lo quiso intimidar pero no fué
(El no fué)
Porque vino a su rescate cuando estaba a su merced,
El Señor, el Padre Nuestro y nuestra fé

Oh, señor sálvame, sálvame
Oh, señor, mírame, mírame,
Ya dejé el pecado y la blasfemia sepa usted
Yo soy ciervo, yo soy ciervo de la fé

The Battey's Devil

The devil is walking in the Battey
(The Battey)
And on his list he has more than six
(More than six)
He has Juan, he has Pedro, Clodomiro and Juan José
I don't know the others on his list

Oh, Lord save me, save me
Oh, Lord, look at me, look at me,
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know, I don't know
Where Juan José has gone

The devil is searching in the Battey
(The Battey)
For sinners like the black Juan José
(Juan José)
If he finds him, if he finds him
If he finds him I don't know
If he can convert him with his law

Oh, Lord save me, save me
Oh, Lord, look at me, look at me,
If I danced, if I drank, if I stole and so I sinned
This will be my last, my last time

The devil met Juan José
(Juan José)
And he tried to intimidate him but he didn't
(He didn't)
Because came to his rescue when he was at his mercy,
The Lord, Our Father and our faith

Oh, Lord save me, save me
Oh, Lord, look at me, look at me,
I have already left sin and blasphemy, so you know
I am a servant, I am a servant of the faith
