Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Café de la Morena by Jarabe de Palo from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Canta un gallo a su gallina
A rooster crows to his hen
A la salida del alba
At Dawn's Dawn
En la estación de las flores
In the flower season
Aquí el que no vuela corre
Here the one who doesn't fly runs
Quien me pone una cerveza
Who will put me a beer
Pa' quitarme la vergüenza
To take away my shame
Aunque me parezca a un pavo
Even if it looks like a turkey to me
En verdad soy un parado
I'm really an unemployed person
One, two, three, cuatro
One, two, three, four
Y me sentaré en la puerta
And I'll sit at the door
Del café de la morena
From Café de la Morena
Y a la primera que pase
And the first one that happens
Le soltaré una de buena
I'll drop you a good one
Le solté una de buena
I let go of a good one at him.
Y aun me duele la respuesta
And the answer still hurts
Pa' una vez que el río suena
Pa' once the river sounds
Y me ha caído una tormenta
And a storm has fallen on me
Y a partir de ese momento
And from that moment on
Practico con el ejemplo
Practical by example
Pa' un día que me solté el pelo
For a day when I let go of my hair
Ya me zumban las orejas
My ears are already ringing
Oiga ponga unas cervezas
Hey put on some beers
Que tengo la boca seca
That my mouth is dry
Y me sentaré en la puerta
And I'll sit at the door
Del café de la morena
From Café de la Morena
Y a la primera que pase
And the first one that happens
Le soltaré una de buena
I'll drop you a good one
Y me sentaré en la puerta
And I'll sit at the door
Del café de la morena
From Café de la Morena
Y a la primera que pase
And the first one that happens
Y me sentaré en la puerta
And I'll sit at the door
Del café de la morena
From Café de la Morena
Y a la primera que pase
And the first one that happens
