Текст и перевод песни Javier Krahe - La yeti (1ª parte)

La yeti (1ª parte)

Huyendo de Mary Pepa un buen día me enrolé
Por poner tierra por medio y ya puestos a poner
En un grupo de alpinistas que iban para el Everest
"Paso la vida trepando, escalo la mar de bien"
Le dije al jefe del grupo
"Y tu novia te es infiel", respondió con cierta sorna
Pero me aceptó: "Anda, ven"
"Gracias, le dije, buen hombre, buen psicólogo es usted"

Cuando todo da lo mismo
¿Por qué no hacer alpinismo?

Y allá nos fuimos volando aunque yo prefiero el tren
Pero ellos no, y de eso no los pude convencer
El Himalaya es enorme, ¡qué gran cordillera es!
Y ésta su más alta cumbre
-Lo digo por si queréis presumir de geografía-
El Chomolugma o Everest
Donde el Nepal se acentúa y donde el Tibet también
O sea, que está a caballo entre el Népal y el Tibét

Y con tiempo favorable comenzamos a ascender
Ellos con sus banderitas, yo ya con dolor de pies
Saltaré los pormenores, pasaremos un primer
Escalón hasta alcanzar otra cota, otro nivel
Camino del campo base unas huellazas ya se ven
"Por aquí ha pasado el yeti", dijo el bueno de Tinseng
Que era un sherpa veterano y que debía entender

Aunque el frío era himalayo, de los que arruinan la tez
Estaba la nieve en calma y me apeteció ir a ver
Como era aquello del yeti, porque tenía su aquél
"Yo, si no os importa mucho coronar el Everest
Sin mi ayuda, pues os dejo y ya nos vemos después."
Nos dimos fuertes abrazos, se fueron y, ahí me tenéis:
Solito por esas nieves con un sandwich y un quinqué

Con un quinqué y con ganas de aventura
Con un sandwich y un quinqué tras la extraña criatura
Iba pensando en mi ex: "Si me viera a estas alturas."

The Yeti (Part 1)

Fleeing from Mary Pepa one fine day I enlisted
To put some distance between us and since I was putting
In a group of mountain climbers who were going to Everest
"I spend my life climbing, I'm really good at it"
I told the leader of the group
"And your girlfriend is unfaithful," he replied with a certain sardonicism
But he accepted me: "Come on, come"
"Thank you," I said, "good man, you're a good psychologist"

When everything seems the same
Why not go mountaineering?

And off we flew although I prefer the train
But they didn't, and I couldn't convince them of that
The Himalayas are enormous, what a great mountain range it is!
And this is its highest peak
-I say that in case you want to show off your geography-
Chomolungma or Everest
Where Nepal is pronounced and Tibet too
That is, it is astride Nepal and Tibet

And with favorable weather we began to ascend
They with their flags, me already with sore feet
I will skip the details, we will pass a first
Step up to reach another level, another level
On the way to the base camp some footprints can be seen
"The yeti has passed here," said the good Tinseng
Who was a veteran sherpa and who should understand

Although the cold was Himalayan, one that ruins the complexion
The snow was calm and I felt like going to see
What the yeti was like, because it had its charm
"I, if you don't mind much crowning Everest
Without my help, because I'll leave you and we'll see you later."
We gave each other strong hugs, they left and, there I am:
All alone in the snow with a sandwich and a lantern

With a lantern and with a desire for adventure
With a sandwich and a lantern after the strange creature
I was thinking about my ex: "If she could see me at these heights."
