Para Chava con cariño

Que sepan en Puerto Rico, que es la tierra del jibarito
Let them know in Puerto Rico, that it is the land of the jibarito
A Nueva York hoy mi canto, perdonen que no les dedico
To New York today my song, sorry I don't dedicate it to you
A Panamá, Venezuela, a todos, todos hermanitos
To Panama, Venezuela, to everyone, all little brothers
El Grupo Niche disculpas pide pues, no es nuestra culpa
The Niche Group apologizes, it is not our fault
Que en la costa del Pacífico hay un pueblo que lo llevamos
That on the Pacific coast there is a town that we take
En el alma, se nos pegaron y con otros no comparamos
In our soul, they stuck to us and we don't compare with others
Allá hay cariño, ternura, ambiente de sabrosura
There is affection, tenderness, an atmosphere of deliciousness
Los cueros van en la sangre, del pequeño hasta el más grande
Leather runs in the blood, from the smallest to the largest
Son niches como nosotros, de alegría siempre en el rostro
They are niches like us, with joy always on their faces
A ti, mi Buenaventura, con amor te lo dedicamos
To you, my Buenaventura, with love we dedicate it to you
Del Caney al Boulevard camino dos pasos
From Caney to the Boulevard I walk two steps
Ahí llegamos a empeñar, luego nos tapiamos
There we come to pawn, then we wall ourselves
Del Caney al Boulevard camino dos pasos
From Caney to the Boulevard I walk two steps
Ahí llegamos a empeñar, luego nos tapiamos
There we come to pawn, then we wall ourselves
Ahí tiene su monte, ahí tiene su rey
There is his mountain, there is his king
Como el melao' lo tiene el mamey y una negrita también
Like the melao', the mamey has it and a black girl too
Del Caney al Boulevard camino dos pasos
From Caney to the Boulevard I walk two steps
Ahí llegamos a empeñar, luego nos tapiamos
There we come to pawn, then we wall ourselves
Donde el negro solo, solito se liberó
Where the black man, alone, freed himself
Rienda suelta al sabor y al tambor le dio
Free rein to the flavor and the drum gave
Del Caney al Boulevard camino dos pasos
From Caney to the Boulevard I walk two steps
Ahí llegamos a empeñar, luego nos tapiamos
There we come to pawn, then we wall ourselves
Lo mismo que por tus calles
The same as in your streets
Vi una morena pasar, ay, qué bella es
I saw a brunette pass by, oh, how beautiful she is
Del Caney al Boulevard camino dos pasos
From Caney to the Boulevard I walk two steps
Ahí llegamos a empeñar, luego nos tapiamos
There we come to pawn, then we wall ourselves
Nos tapiamos, nos emborrachamos
We wall ourselves, we get drunk
Por Dios que por ti, todito lo brindamos
For God's sake, for you, we offer everything
Del Caney al Boulevard camino dos pasos
From Caney to the Boulevard I walk two steps
Ahí llegamos a empeñar, luego nos tapiamos
There we come to pawn, then we wall ourselves
Cuando lejos de ti me encuentro, Buenaventura
When I am far from you, Buenaventura
Siento ganas de llorar por ti
I feel like crying for you
Del Caney al Boulevard camino dos pasos
From Caney to the Boulevard I walk two steps
Ahí llegamos a empeñar, luego nos tapiamos
There we come to pawn, then we wall ourselves
Mi Buenaventura
My Bonaventure
Buenaventura y Caney
Buenaventura and Caney
Mi Buenaventura
My Bonaventure
Buenaventura y Caney
Buenaventura and Caney
Ahora me voy a meter un pargo rojo con bastante salsa
Now I'm going to have a red snapper with a lot of sauce
Y un sancocho de ñato
And a ñato sancocho
Y te cuento compa'
And I'll tell you mate
Buenaventura y Caney
Buenaventura and Caney
Pa' baila' y gozá'
Pa' dance' and enjoy'
