Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Venganza del Perico by Eliades Ochoa from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Pero que lío, pero que lío
But what a mess, what a mess
Pero que lío compay Andrés
But what a mess, Andrés
Pero que lío, pero que lío
But what a mess, what a mess
Con la perra de Parra y el juez
With Parra's bitch and the judge
Maldita sea la perra, la perra de compay Parra
Damn the bitch, compay Parra's bitch
Que por mandarlo a la porra, ayer me mordió la perra
That for sending him to hell, yesterday the dog bit me
Como me mordió la perra, a la corte lo llevé
Since the dog bit me, I took him to court
Y que lío con la perra, con Parra y el señor juez
And what a mess with the bitch, with Parra and the judge
En el juicio el juez llamaba a Parra constantemente
During the trial, the judge called Parra constantly
Y Parra estaba presente, y al juez no le contestaba
And Parra was present, and he did not answer the judge
Como no le contestaba, a la porra lo mandó
Since he didn't answer, he sent him to hell
Y Parra soltó la perra y al señor juez lo mordió
And Parra released the bitch and the judge was bitten
Ay señor que yereyé, porque la gente reía
Oh, sir, I saw you, because the people laughed
Y en eso se para el juez y oigan bien lo que decía:
And in that the judge stops and listen carefully to what he said:
'Treinta días pa' la perra'
'Thirty days for the bitch'
Y a Parra le echó cien días
And he gave Parra a hundred days
Y todo el que allí reía, seis meses para la porra
And everyone who laughed there, six months for the club
Y yo que no tengo perra, que soy el acusador
And I don't have a bitch, I'm the accuser
Me dijo oiga usted señor, si vuelve aquí con la perra
He told me, listen, sir, if he comes back here with the bitch
Con esa perra de Parra, lo mandaré a fusilar
With that bitch from Parra, I will send him to be shot
A usted, a la perra y a Parra, allá por el platanal
To you, to the dog and to Parra, there by the banana plantation
Y ahora el que quiera cantar, cantar este trabalenguas
And now whoever wants to sing, sing this tongue twister
Y ahora el que quiera cantar, cantar este trabalenguas
And now whoever wants to sing, sing this tongue twister
Si se le enreda la lengua, nunca lo podrá cantar
If his tongue gets tangled, he will never be able to sing it
