Jíbaro Lyrics in English Farruko , Pedro Capó
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Jíbaro by Farruko from Spanish to English.
Intro
Subo la montaña, bajo el aguacero
I climb the mountain, under the downpour
Las piernas me duelen, pero mi sueño es primero
My legs hurt, but my dream comes first
A mí nadie me va a detener, yo sé lo que quiero
Nobody's gonna stop me, I know what I want
Juré que mi bandera iba a cargar por el mundo entero
I swore that I'd carry my flag around the whole world
Chorus 1
Lolelolai, lolelo, lelo
Lolelolai, lolelo, lelo
Que tu voz no calle la verdad, grítalo pa'l cielo
May your voice not silence the truth, shout it to the sky
Lolelolai, lolelo, lelo
Lolelolai, lolelo, lelo
Que Dios derrame amor y bendición pa' mi pueblo anhelo
May God pour love and blessings on my people, I yearn for that
Verse 1
Pri-yah-yah-yah, ¡Farru!
Pri-yah-yah-yah, Farru!
Soy de los jíbaro' que se atrevió
I'm one of the jíbaros who dared
A cruzar el charco y sacar el machete
To cross the pond and pull out the machete
Humilde del campo, con bota bajé
Humble from the countryside, I came down in boots
Y sudando fue que me hice el billete
And sweating is how I made my cash
Así es que se lleva el pan a la mesa
That's how you bring bread to the table
Gracias a mi mai que por mí siempre reza
Thanks to my mom who always prays for me
Por eso nunca perdí la cabeza
That's why I never lost my head
Y lo que da sin interé' al final regresa
And what you give with no interest comes back in the end
Porque yo soy boricua, puñeta, lo grito pa' que sepan
Because I'm Boricua, f*ck, I shout it so that they know
Y a aquí se come mofongo, bacalaíto y quenepa
And here we eat mofongo, bacalaíto and quenepa
Soy del cien por treinticinco
I'm from the hundred by thirty-five
Del la isla del encanto
From the island of enchantment
Donde los pobre' son ricos
Where the poor are rich
Y el que se cae lo levanto
And whoever falls, I pick him up
Porque aquí to' el mundo se ayuda y se da la mano
Because here everybody helps out and gives a hand
Y aunque no nos conozcamo', para aquí tienes un hermano
And even if we don't know each other, you've got a brother here
Bridge
Porque así somos nosotros
Because that's how we are
Así somos nosotros
That's how we are
Chorus 2
Lolelolai, lolelo, lelo
Lolelolai, lolelo, lelo
Que tu voz no calle la verdad, grítalo pa'l cielo
May your voice not silence the truth, shout it to the sky
Lolelolai, lolelo, lelo
Lolelolai, lolelo, lelo
Que Dios derrame amor y bendición a mi pueblo anhelo
May God pour love and blessings on my people, I long for that
