Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A La Casa De La Trova by Eliades Ochoa from Spanish to English.
A bailar, a gozar, en casa de Pedro el Cojo
To dance, to enjoy, at Pedro the Lame's house
Vamos a comernos un macho
Let's eat a male goat
En casa de Pedro el Cojo
At Pedro the Lame's house
A comer ñame con mojo
To eat yam with mojo
Y a divertirnos un rato
And have some fun for a while
Cuando a mí me lo dijeron
When they told me that
Yo no quería venir
I didn't want to come
Me tuvieron que advertir
They had to warn me
Que allí el son es majadero
That there the son is rowdy
Fue cuando me decidí
That's when I decided
Y acepté la invitación
And accepted the invitation
Y pude bailar el son
And I could dance the son
Que se toca por aquí
That is played around here
Fue cuando me decidí
That's when I decided
Y acepte la invitación
And accepted the invitation
Y pude bailar el son
And I could dance the son
Que se toca por aquí
That is played around here
Y aunque estoy en la manigua
And even though I'm in the jungle
Eso no me causa enojo
That doesn't bother me
Conocía Pedro el Cojo
I knew Pedro the Lame
En esta playa de Cigua
In this beach of Cigua
