Vicenta Lyrics in English Buena Vista Social Club
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Vicenta by Buena Vista Social Club from Spanish to English.
Que susto más grande pase
What a huge scare I had
Cuando se quemaba la maya
When the brush was on fire
Allí perdí mi gallito roncón
There I lost my boastful little rooster
Allí perdí mi gallina
There I lost my hen
Allí perdí a los sobrinos
There I lost the nephews
De aquel famoso gallo e morón
From that famous rooster of Morón
También perdí a la comadre
I also lost my dear friend
Que no quiso bautizar
Who refused to baptize
Porque me quede pelao
Because I was left broke
Sin gallo y sin platanal
Without a rooster and without a plantain grove
Sin platanal no valgo na
Without a plantain grove I'm worth nothin'
No valgo na sin platanal
I'm worth nothin' without a plantain grove
Y quien te bautizo
And who baptized you?
Y quien te bautizo
And who baptized you?
Y quien te bautizo, Vicenta
And who baptized you, Vicenta?
Y quien te bautizo, tu hijo
And who baptized you? Your son
Vicenta, tu hijo
Vicenta, your son
La vieja no quiere cuentos
The old lady wants no stories
Ni cosas de enamoraos
Nor any of that lovey-dovey stuff
Aquel que se sienta casao
A man who's already married
No debe enamorar señoritas
Shouldn't be courting young ladies
Si los sorprende la vieja
If the old lady catches them
Lo saca por el tejao
She'll throw him out through the roof
La vieja no quiere cuentos
The old lady wants no stories
Ni cosas de enamoraos
Nor any of that lovey-dovey stuff
Y quién te bautizo
And who baptized you?
Y quién te bautizo
And who baptized you?
Y quién te bautizo, Vicenta
And who baptized you, Vicenta?
Y quién te bautizo, tu hijo
And who baptized you? Your son
