Letra de 'el nazareno'
Letter of 'the Nazarene'
Yo estaba en un vacilón
I was in a vacilon
Yo estaba en un vacilón
I was in a vacilon
Fui a ver lo que sucedía
I went to see what was going on
Cuando ya me divertía
When I was already having fun
Y empezaba a vacilar
And I was beginning to waver
No sé de dónde una voz vine a escuchar
I don't know where a voice came from to listen
Qué expresión tiene tu rostro
What an expression your face has
Se refleja la alegría
It reflects the joy
Y está rodeado de tanta hipocresía
And he's surrounded by so much hypocrisy
Es el nazareno
It's the Nazarene
Que te da consejos buenos
That gives you good advice
A quién, no mires a quién
Who, don't look at who
Dale la mano al caído y si acaso
Shake hands with the fallen and if anything
Bien malo ha sido dale la mano también
Well bad has been to shake his hand too
Hazle bien a tus amigos
Do your friends good
Y ofréceles tu amistad
And offer them your friendship
Y verás que a ti lo malo
And you'll see that the bad
Nunca se te acercará
It'll never come close to you
Y en cambio todo lo bueno
And instead all the good stuff
Contigo siempre estará
He'll always be with you
¡óyelo!
Hey, hey!
El nazareno me dijo

Que siguiera cantando cositas lindas y bonitas para ustedes
That I kept singing cute, pretty little things for you
Que son mis queridos amigos
Who are my dear friends

The Nazarene told me
Que cuidará a mis amigos
Who will take care of my friends
Dale pa'lante, pa'lante, pa'lante, pa'lante, pa'lante como un elefante
