Pa' Que Afinquen Lyrics in English Cheo Feliciano
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pa' Que Afinquen by Cheo Feliciano from Spanish to English.
Como silencio guardé
I kept quiet like silence
Cantaron otros soneros
Other soneros sang
Libraron lo nueves ceros
They fought the nine zeros
Que una vez les dediqué
That I once dedicated to them
Ahora comprendo porque
Now I understand why
Fallaron en su intención
They failed in their intention
Ay mira que no cantan de corazón
Oh look, they don't sing from the heart
Y no hay clave que no brinquen
And there's no clave they don't skip
Por eso para que afinquen
That's why, for them to settle
Aquí les traigo mi son
Here I bring them my son
Yo no ando buscando guerra
I'm not looking for war
Ni a nadie quiero enseñar
Nor do I want to teach anyone
Pero dá fuerza cantar
But singing gives strength
Que con los pies sobre la tierra
With my feet on the ground
En mi guajira se encierra
In my guajira is enclosed
La profunda comprensión
The deep understanding
Filosófica expresión
Philosophical expression
Que ni peca ni delinque
That neither sins nor commits crimes
El que hierro echa a su afinque
The one who throws iron to his settling
Cantándole un rico son
By singing a rich son
Ahora sí que el fantasma apareció
Now the ghost has appeared
Oye la rumba que te traigo yo
Listen to the rumba that I bring to you
Para que goces la rumba tú como yo
So that you enjoy the rumba like I do
Para que afinques, para que goces
To settle, to enjoy
Que de la siete hasta la doce
From seven to twelve
Para que afinque, para que baile mi guaguancó
To settle, to dance my guaguancó
De ahí nada mas, oye lo que digo yo
That's it, listen to what I'm saying
Vacila tú como yo
Have fun like I do
La bomba ya se salió
The bomb has already exploded
La rumba ya se prendió
The rumba has already ignited
Baila tú como lo bailo yo
Dance like I do
Para que afinquen en la rumba
So that they settle in the rumba
Rumbero bueno entra en la clave
Good rumbero, enter the clave
Que si no entra, allá afuera te dejo yo
If you don't enter, I'll leave you outside
Entra para que afinque en el rumbón
Enter so that you settle in the big rumba
Para que afinque, para que goces
To settle, to enjoy
Oye si no vale, no te cuelas
Oh if it's not worth it, don't sneak in
