Текст и перевод песни La Sonora Matancera - El Yerbero Moderno

El Yerbero Moderno

Se oye el rumor de un pregonar
Que dice así:
El yerberito llegó, llegó
Traigo yerba santa pa' la garganta
Traigo keisimon pa' la hinchazón
Traigo abrecaminos pa' tu destino
Traigo la ruda pa' el que estornuda
Tambien traigo albahaca pa' la gente flaca
El apasote para los brotes
El vetiver para el que no ve
Y con esa yerba se casa usted
Yerberooo
Pero yo traigo yerba santa pa' la garganta
Y con esa yerba se casa usted
Ay pero yo traigo la ruda pa'l que estornuda
Y con esa yerba se casa usted
Pero yo traigo el apasote para los brotes
Y con esa yerba se casa usted
Oye yo traigo keisimon pa'la hinchazón
Y con esta yerba se casa usted
Y con esa yerba se casa usted
Eh que mi yerbero moderno, yerbero moderno
Y con esa yerba se casa usted
Oye yo traigo yerba santa pa'la garganta
Y con esa yerba se casa usted
Pero yo traigo el apasote para los brotes
Y con esa yerba se casa usted
Mira yo traigo el vetiver para el que no ve
Y con esta yerba se casa usted

The Modern Herbalist

Listen to the sound of a peddler
Who says this:
The little herbalist has arrived, arrived
I bring holy herb for the throat
I bring keisimon (a type of plant) for swelling
I bring road opener for your destiny
I bring rue for he who sneezes
I also bring basil for the skinny
Apasote for bumps
Vetiver for he who does not see
And with that herb, you'll get married
Herbalist
But I bring holy herb for the throat
And with that herb, you'll get married (my lady)
But I bring rue for he who sneezes (my lady)
And with that herb, you'll get married (my lady)
But I bring Apasote for bumps (my lady)
And with that herb, you'll get married (my lady)
Listen, I bring keisimon for swelling (my lady)
And with that herb, you'll get married (my lady)
And with that herb, you'll get married (my lady)
Hey, my modern herbalist, modern herbalist (my lady)
And with that herb, you'll get married (my lady)
Listen, I bring holy herb for the throat (my lady)
And with that herb, you'll get married (my lady)
But I bring Apasote for bumps (my lady)
And with that herb, you'll get married (my lady)
Look, I bring vetiver for he who does not see (my lady)
And with that herb, you'll get married (my lady)
