La Envidia Lyrics in English Carin León
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Envidia by Carin León from Spanish to English.
Pa' pasar por las espinas
To pass through the thorns
Me pongo los de vaqueta
I put on the leather ones
Los perros que arriman güina
The dogs that come close, babe
Dejen eso en la banqueta
Leave that on the sidewalk
El que conmigo se arrima sabe que le doy croquetas
Whoever comes close to me knows that I give them kibble
No soy un árbol caído
I'm not a fallen tree
Para que me hagan leña
So they can make firewood from me
Para que puedan conmigo
So they can deal with me
Ni con el hacha me llevan
Not even with the axe do they take me
Si no me morí chiquito, me muero cuando yo quiera
If I didn't die as a kid, I die when I want
Si saben que el macho es bronco
If they know that the macho is tough
No sé asusten si repara
Don't get scared if he repairs
Por qué al caer del lomo
Because when falling from the back
Te pueden llover patadas
You can get kicked
Si no se saben el coro
If they don't know the chorus
No la chiflen que es cantada
Don't whistle, it's sung
'Hay les va un consejo para toda la bola de
'Here's a piece of advice for all the bunch of
Envidiosos: trabajen y puro tamarindo récords'
Envious ones: work and pure tamarind records'
Lo del perro no es pa'l gato, aunque el perro no esté en casa
What’s for the dog isn’t for the cat, even if the dog isn’t home
A de rebozar el plato se comportan como ratas
They behave like rats when the plate overflows
La escopeta pa' los patos,y leche no da la vaca
The shotgun for the ducks, and the cow doesn’t give milk
El que nace pa' tamal, del cielo le caen las hojas y a los que no
Whoever is born to be a tamale, the leaves fall from the sky, and those who aren’t
Les da buscan como se despoja
Look for how to strip themselves
Por querer desamarrar, les agarra una congoja
For wanting to untie, they get a pang
No te envidian lo que tienes
They don’t envy what you have
Si no porque no lo tengas y al caer entre sus redes
If not because you don’t have it, and when falling into their nets
Al caído lo patean
They kick the fallen
No sirve probar las mieles si la envidia te aconseja
It’s useless to taste the honey if envy advises you
