La Guagua Lyrics in English Juan Luis Guerra
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Guagua by Juan Luis Guerra from Spanish to English.
Se va la guagua
The bus is leaving
Tú me prometiste una guaracha
You promised me a guaracha
Para yo animar mi fiesta
For me to liven up my party
Y me prometiste una maraca, oye
And you promised me a maraca, hey
De un higuero y fruta seca vaya usted a ver
From a fig tree and dried fruit, you will see
¿Donde esta la fiesta, la guaracha?
Where is the party, the guaracha?
¿Dónde esta la fruta seca?
Where is the dried fruit?
¿A dónde va el ordeño de la vaca?
Where does the milking of the cow go?
Pues al bidón de las promesas
Well, to the can of promises
Tira la palanca y endereza
Pull the lever and straighten up
Que la guagua va en reversa
Because the bus is going in reverse
Ehh, la guagua va en reversa
Ehh, the bus is going in reverse
Que la guagua va en reversa
Because the bus is going in reverse
Tráeme la maraca y dame fiesta
Bring me the maraca and give me a party
Que la guagua va en reversa
Because the bus is going in reverse
Mira, la guagua va en reversa
Look, the bus is going in reverse
Es que la guagua va, go
It's just that the bus is going, go
Tú me prometiste un te de tilo
You promised me a linden tea
Para yo dormir mi siesta
For me to sleep my nap
Y me prometiste un cariñito
And you promised me a little affection
Para yo alegrar la orquesta, vaya usted a ver
For me to cheer up the orchestra, you will see
¿Donde esta la siesta, el té de tilo?
Where is the nap, the linden tea?
¿Y la moñita de la orquesta?
And the little hairstyle of the orchestra?
¿A donde va el ordeño de la vaca?
Where does the milking of the cow go?
Al bidón de las promesas
To the can of promises
Tira la palanca y endereza
Pull the lever and straighten up
Que la guagua va en reversa
Because the bus is going in reverse
Ehh, la guagua va en reversa
Ehh, the bus is going in reverse
Que la guagua va en reversa
Because the bus is going in reverse
Tráeme la maraca y dame fiesta
Bring me the maraca and give me a party
Que la guagua va en reversa
Because the bus is going in reverse
Mira la guagua va en reversa
Look, the bus is going in reverse
Es que la guagua va, como
It's just that the bus is going, like
Tú me decías que era chévere la guagua
You told me the bus was cool
Con un timón hidráulico y motor de biela
With a hydraulic steering and a crankshaft engine
Así que tira la palanca y pon un cambio
So pull the lever and put it in gear
Y te aseguro, la guagua sienta
And I assure you, the bus feels
Con la primera
With the first
Con la tercera
With the third
Échale líquido de freno a esa hechicera
Put brake fluid in that witch
Y ya veras como la guagua se endereza
And you will see how the bus straightens up
Pues la guagua va en reversa
Well, the bus is going in reverse
Que la guagua va en reversa
Because the bus is going in reverse
Que la guagua va en reversa
Because the bus is going in reverse
La palanca y endereza
The lever and straighten up
Que la guagua va en reversa
Because the bus is going in reverse
Oye, la guagua va en reversa
Hey, the bus is going in reverse
Que la guagua va en reversa
Because the bus is going in reverse
Queda mucha pista dobla y frena
There is still a lot of track, turn and brake
Que la guagua va en reversa
Because the bus is going in reverse
Mira la guagua va en reversa
Look, the bus is going in reverse
Es que la guagua va
It's just that the bus is going
Es que la guagua va
It's just that the bus is going
Pero la guagua va
But the bus is going
Es que la guagua va
It's just that the bus is going
Pero la guagua va
But the bus is going
En reversa
In reverse
Llego la hora de bailar en un pie
The time to dance on one foot has arrived
