Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Parranda (The Big Party) by Gloria Estefan from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Van llegando la fiesta va a comenzar
They are arriving the party is going to begin
Esta noche la parranda no tiene como acabar
Tonight the party has no way to end
Ya se escuchan las notas del acordeon
You can already hear the notes of the accordion
De gaitas que enamoran al repique del tambor
Of bagpipes that make you fall in love with the beating of the drum
Que suenen los cueros
Let the leather ring
Todo es alegria
everything is joy
Se prendio el jaleo
The commotion started
Que toque la chirimia
Let the shawm play
Se formo el jolgorio
The revelry was formed
Y la algarabía
and the hubbub
Que esto no es ningun velorio
That this is no wake
Todo es alegria
everything is joy
Se formo el jolgorio
The revelry was formed
Y la algarabía
and the hubbub
Que esto no es ningun velorio
That this is no wake
Todo es alegria
everything is joy
Sigue el baile, hoy vamos a amanecer
Continue the dance, today we are going to dawn
La noche va muriendo, la fiesta va a nacer
The night is dying, the party is going to be born
Que alegria tenerte junto a mí
What a joy to have you with me
La vida es mas bonita cuando se quiere así
Life is more beautiful when you love it that way
Un beso a mis viejos
A kiss to my parents
Un trago 'pa don Facunfo
A drink for Don Facunfo
Esto si esta bueno
This is good
Que alegre está todo el mundo
How happy everyone is
Se formo el jolgorio
The revelry was formed
Y la algarabía
and the hubbub
Que esto no es ningun velorio
That this is no wake
Todo es alegria
everything is joy
Se formo el jolgorio
The revelry was formed
Y la algarabía
and the hubbub
Que esto no es ningun velorio
That this is no wake
Todo es alegria
everything is joy
Ya la noche respira de ilusión
The night is already breathing with excitement
De augurios que se lanzan al viento soñador
Of omens that are thrown to the dreaming wind
Mil historias se tejen más allá
A thousand stories are woven beyond
De vidas que se abrazan de amores que vendran
Of lives that embrace each other, of loves that will come
Que suenen los cueros
Let the leather ring
Todo es alegria
everything is joy
Se prendio el jaleo
The commotion started
Que toque la chirimia
Let the shawm play
Se formo el jolgorio
The revelry was formed
Y la algarabía
and the hubbub
Que esto no es ningun velorio
That this is no wake
Todo es alegria
everything is joy
Se formo el jolgorio
The revelry was formed
Y la algarabía
and the hubbub
Que esto no es ningun velorio
That this is no wake
Todo es alegria
everything is joy
Se armo el jolgorio
The revelry broke out
Todo es alegría
everything is joy

Hasta el sol de la mañana
Until the morning sun
Vamos a seguir bailando

Que esto no se esta acabando
That this is not ending
Se formo el jolgorio
The revelry was formed
Y la algarabía
and the hubbub
Que esto no es ningun velorio
That this is no wake
Todo es alegria

Se formo el jolgorio
The revelry was formed
Y la algarabía
and the hubbub
