El Choclo Lyrics in English Julio Iglesias
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Choclo by Julio Iglesias from Spanish to English.
Con este tango que es burlón y compadrito
With this tango that is mocking and streetwise
Se ató dos alas las emoción de mi suburbio
The emotion of my suburb tied two wings
Con este tango nació el tango y como un grito
With this tango, the tango was born and like a scream
Salió del sórdido barrial buscando el cielo
It came out of the sordid slum, searching for the sky
Conjuro extraño de un amor hecho cadencia
Strange conjuring of a love turned into rhythm
Que abrió caminos sin más ley que su esperanza
That opened paths with no other law than its hope
Mezcla de rabia, de dolor, de fe, de ausencia
Mixture of rage, pain, faith, absence
Llorando en la inocencia de un ritmo juguetón
Crying in the innocence of a playful rhythm
Por tu milagro de notas agoreras
Because of your miraculous ominous notes
Nacieron sin pensarlo las paicas y las grelas
The paicas and the grelas were born without thinking
Luna en los charcos, canyengue en las caderas
Moon in the puddles, canyengue in the hips
Y un ansia fiera en la manera de querer
And a fierce longing in the way of loving
Al evocarte
When I evoke you
Tango querido
Beloved tango
Siento que tiemblan las baldosas de un bailongo
I feel the dance floor trembling
Y oigo el rezongo de mi pasado
And I hear the grumble of my past
Hoy que no tengo
Now that I no longer have
Más a mi madre
My mother by my side
Siento que llega en punta De pie para besarme
I feel her arriving on tiptoe
Cuando tu canto nace al son de un bandoneón
To kiss me
Carancanfunfa se hizo al mar con tu bandera
When your song is born to the sound of a bandoneón
Y en un perno mezcló Paris con Puente Alsina
Carancanfunfa set sail with your flag
Fuiste compadre del gavión y de la mina
And in a twist, mixed Paris with Puente Alsina
Y hasta comadre del bacán y la pebeta
You were a comrade of the gavión and the mina
Por vos susheta, cana, reo y mishiadura
And even a comadre of the bacán and the pebeta
Se hicieron voces al nacer con tu destino
Because of you, susheta, cana, reo, and mishiadura
Misa de faldas, kerosén, tajo y cuchillo
Voices were born with your destiny
Que ardió en los conventillos y ardió en mi corazón
Mass of skirts, kerosene, slash, and knife
Tango querido, tango argentino
That burned in the tenements and burned in my heart
Siento que tiemblan las baldosas de un bailongo
Beloved tango, Argentine tango
Y oigo el rezongo de mi pasado
I feel the dance floor trembling
Tango querido, tango argentino
And I hear the grumble of my past
Siento que llega en punta De pie para besarme
Beloved tango, Argentine tango
Cuando tu canto nace al son de un bandoneón
I feel it arriving on tiptoe
