Oiga compadre
Hey compadre
Yo conozco muchos hombres
I know many men
Que hablan de machos
Who talk about males
Cuando están bebiendo ron
When they are drinking rum
Los invito a Paraguachon
I invite you to Paraguachon
Pa'que prueben sus pantalones
Pa'que try their pants
Paraguachon es un arroyo
Paraguachon is a stream
Que hizo el diablo
What the devil did
Y que divide a Colombia
And that divides Colombia
De Venezuela
From Venezuela
Allí me invitó un venezolano
There I was invited by a Venezuelan
Mira chico tú aquí no llegas
Look boy you don't arrive here
A dónde estarán mis cochinos?
Where will my pigs be?
Que en la noche se han perdido
That in the night they have been lost
Mis cochinos dónde estarán?
Where will my pigs be?
Se han perdido en la paliza
They have been lost in the beating
Y ningún cerdo se me ha ido
And no pig has gone away
Porque del carro
Because of the car
No salen sin amarrar
They do not leave untied
Ay yo no voy a trabajá
Oh, I'm not going to work
Para meté a otro indio
To put another Indian
De un Sanjuanero
From a Sanjuanero
Que se jalaba las greñas
That pulled the greñas
Me causo risa
It made me laugh
Y entonces le dije yo:
And then I said to him:
Ay eso es castigo de Dios
Oh that's God's punishment.
Porque tienes muy mala lengua
Because you have a very bad tongue
Adónde estará mi lechón?
Where will my piglet be?
Ay perdido en Paraguachon
Ay lost in Paraguachon
A dónde estarán mis cochinos?
Where will my pigs be?
Que en la paliza se han perdido
That in the beating they have been lost
