Recuerdo que Jaime Molina
I remember that Jaime Molina
Cuando estaba borracho ponía esta condición
When I was drunk I put this condition
Que, si yo moría primero me hacía un retrato
That, if I died first, he would make a portrait of me
O, si el se moría primero le sacaba un son
Or, if he died first, he would get a son.
Ahora prefiero esta condición
Now I prefer this condition
Que el me hiciera el retrato y no sacarlo el son
That he made the portrait for me and not take it out the son
Famosas fueron sus parrandas
Famous were their parrandas
Que a ningún amigo dejaba dormir
That no friend let sleep
Cuando estaba bebiendo
When I was drinking
Siempre me insultaba
He always insulted me
Con frases de cariño que sabía decir
With phrases of affection that he knew how to say
Después en las piernas me sentaba
Then on my legs I sat down
Me contaba un chiste y se ponía a reír
He would tell me a joke and start laughing.
(ay compadre, si supiera cómo lo recuerda Rafa que solo llora)
(oh compadre, if I knew how Rafa remembers him who only cries)
La cosa comenzó muy niño
The thing started very child
Jaime Molina me enseño a beber
Jaime Molina taught me to drink
A donde quiera estaba, el estaba conmigo
Everywhere I was, he was with me
Y donde quiera estaba, estaba yo con él
And wherever he was, I was with him.
Ahora me duele que se haya ido
Now it hurts me that he's gone
Yo quedé sin Jaime y el sin Rafael
I was without Jaime and he without Rafael
(Un homenaje sencillo para los pintores y poetas del valle, ay hombre)
(A simple tribute to the painters and poets of the valley, oh man)
