Candela Lyrics in English Buena Vista Social Club , Ibrahim Ferrer
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Candela by Buena Vista Social Club from Spanish to English.
Ay, candela, candela, candela, me quemo, aé
Oh fire, fire, fire, fire, I'm burning, oh
Ay, candela, candela, candela, me quemo, aé
Oh fire, fire, fire, fire, I'm burning, oh
Puso un baile una jutía, para una gran diversión
A hutia started a dance, for great fun
De timbalero un ratón que alegraba el campo un día
A mouse played the drums, brightening the countryside one day
Un gato también venía elegante y placentero
A cat also came, elegant and pleasant
Buenas noche compañero siempre dijo así el timbal
"Good evening, friend," the drummer always said
Para ahí el tipo de tocar para descansar un poco
"The guy stopped playing to rest a bit"
Salió el ratón medio loco, también voy a descansar
"The mouse came out, half-crazy, 'I'm going to rest too'"
Y el gato en su buen bailar, bailaba un danzón liviano
And the cat, in his good dancing, danced a light danzón
El ratón se sube a guano y dice bien placentero
The mouse climbs onto the guano and says, quite pleasantly
Y ahora si quieren bailar busquen otro timbalero
"And now if you want to dance, find another drummer"
Ay, candela, candela, candela, me quemo, aé
Oh fire, fire, fire, fire, I'm burning, oh
Ay, candela, candela, candela, me quemo, aé
Oh fire, fire, fire, fire, I'm burning, oh
Ay, candela, candela, candela, me quemo, aé
Oh fire, fire, fire, fire, I'm burning, oh
Oye, Faustino Oramas y sus compañeros, necesito
Hey, Faustino Oramas and his companions, I need
Que me apaguen el fuego
That I Put out the fire
Margarita llama pronto a los bomberos
Margarita, call the firemen quickly
Para que vengan a apagar el fuego
So they can come and put out the fire
Oye, si estas perdido marca los siete ceros
Hey, if you're lost, dial seven zeros
Y así vendrán mas pronto los bomberos
And that way the firefighters will come sooner
Ay candela, candela, candela, me quemo, aé, mama
Oh fire, fire, fire, I'm burning, oh, mama
Ay, candela, candela, candela, me quemo, aé
Oh fire, fire, fire, fire, I'm burning, oh
Ay, candela, candela, candela, me quemo, aé
Oh fire, fire, fire, fire, I'm burning, oh
Ay
Oh

Margarita que me quemo
Margarita, I'm burning
Yo quiero seguir gozando
I want to keep enjoying myself
La candela me esta llamando
The fire is calling me
Me gusta seguir guarachando
I like to keep dancing
Está tarde venimo' acabando
This afternoon we're finishing up
Como quera seguimos tocando
However we want, we keep playing
La mujer cuando de agacha
When a woman She bends down
Se le abre el entendimiento
Her understanding opens
La mujer cuando de agacha
When a woman She bends down
Se le abre el entendimiento
Her understanding opens
Y el hombre cuando la mira
And when the man looks at her
Se le para el pensamiento
His thoughts stop
De tu me gusta una cosa
There's one thing I like about you
Sin que me cueste trabajo
Without it taking any effort
De ti me gusta una cosa
There's one thing I like about you
Sin que me cueste trabajo
Without it taking any effort
De la barriga pa' arriba
From the belly up
De la cintura pa' abajo
From the waist down
Mira se quema, se quema mama
Look, it's burning, it's burning, mama
Mira se quema, se quema mama
Look, it's burning, it's burning, mama
Mira mamá que me quemo
Look, mama, I'm burning
Margarita llama pronto a los bomberos
Margarita, call the firemen quickly
Para que vengan a apagar el fuego
So they can come and put out the fire
Mira que el fuego me está quemando
Look, the fire is burning me
Y no quiera seguir guareajando
And I don't want to keep dancing
Mira se quema báyamo
Look, it's burning, Báyamo
Mira que songo, está que arde
Look, the song, it's burning
Mira se quema la maya
Look, the maya is burning
Mira ese pito que suena
Look at that whistle that sounds
Malaguen está que corta mamá
Malaguen is cutting, mama
Santiago de Cuba está que te mete en llamas
Santiago de Cuba is setting you on fire
Se quema, se quema, oye
It's burning, it's burning, listen
Mira me quemo, me quemo
Look, I'm burning, I'm burning
Mira mi mami me quemo
Look, my mommy, I'm burning
Mira no quiero seguir guarachando
Look, I don't want to keep dancing
Mira mamá que yo vengo quemando
Look, mama, I'm coming Burning
Faustino Orama' tú está acabando
Faustino Orama, you're finishing it up
Mira se quema, se quema
Look, it's burning, it's burning
Pero mira mi mami se quema
But look, my mom is burning
Oye se quema, se quema
Hey, it's burning, it's burning
