Текст и перевод песни Los Mélodicos - La Custoria de Badillo

La Custoria de Badillo

Me han dicho que el pueblo de Badillo se ha puesto de mala
De mala, porque su reliquia le quieren cambiar
Primero fue con san Antonio, lo hizo Enrique Maya
Ahora la cosa es distinta, le voy a contar

En la casa de Gregorio, bien segura estaba
Una reliquia del pueblo, tipo colonial
Era una custodia linda, muy grande y pesada
Ahora, por una liviana, la quieren cambiar

Se la llevaron, se la llevaron
Se la llevaron, ya se perdió
Se la llevaron, se la llevaron
Se la llevaron, ya se perdió

Lo que pasa es que la tiene un ratero honrado
Lo que ocurre que un honrado se la robó
Lo que pasa es que la tiene un ratero honrado
Lo que ocurre que un honrado se la robó

Aunque digan que es calumnia del pueblo de Badillo
Ellos, con mucha razón, presentaron sus pruebas
No tiene el mismo tamaño, no pesa lo mismo
No tiene el mismo color, entonces, no es ella

Parece que el inspector como que tuvo miedo
Mucho miedo, en este caso, para proceder
Ay, porque todavía no ha dicho quién es el ratero
Aunque todo el pueblo sabe quiénes puede ser

Seguramente que no fui yo
Ni Alfonso López ni Pedro Castro
Seguramente, que no fui yo
Ni Alfonso López ni Pedro Castro

Ahora no fue Enrique Maya quien se la robó
Ahora no podrán decir que fue un vallenato
Ahora no fue Enrique Maya quien se la robó
Ahora no podrán decir que fue un vallenato

A mi compai con la guerra cuando tenga fiesta
Oiga, que abra bien los ojos para vigilar
Con una 45 en la puerta de la iglesia
Todo el que tenga sotana no lo deje entrar

Al terminar la misa que se pongan
Del cura p'abajo a requisar
Al terminar la misa que se pongan
Del cura p'abajo a requisar

The Custody of Badillo

I've been told, my love, that the town of Badillo is upset,
Upset because they want to swap their relic.
First it was with Saint Anthony, Enrique Maya did it,
Now it's different, darling, I'll tell you about it.

In Gregorio's house, safe and sound it was,
A relic of the town, colonial style.
It was a beautiful monstrance, large and heavy,
Now, for a light one, they want to exchange it.

They took it away, they took it away,
They took it away, it's lost now.
They took it away, they took it away,
They took it away, it's lost now.

What happened is an honest thief has it,
What happened is an honest man stole it.
What happened is an honest thief has it,
What happened is an honest man stole it.

Even if they say it's slander from the town of Badillo,
They, with good reason, presented their evidence.
It's not the same size, it doesn't weigh the same,
It's not the same color, so, it's not the same one.

It seems like the inspector was kind of scared,
Very scared, in this case, to proceed.
Oh, because he still hasn't said who the thief is,
Although the whole town knows who it might be.

Surely it wasn't me,
Nor Alfonso López nor Pedro Castro.
Surely it wasn't me,
Nor Alfonso López nor Pedro Castro.

Now it wasn't Enrique Maya who stole it,
Now they can't say it was a vallenato singer.
Now it wasn't Enrique Maya who stole it,
Now they can't say it was a vallenato singer.

To my buddy, during the party, when he has a celebration,
Listen, keep his eyes open to watch out.
With a .45 at the church door,
Don't let anyone wearing a cassock in.

At the end of mass, they should start
Searching everyone, from the priest down.
At the end of mass, they should start
Searching everyone, from the priest down.
