Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mi Barrio by La Sonora Santanera from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Quiero relatar lo que a mí me sucedió
I want to relate what happened to me
Cuando la otra noche mi sueno se turbó
When the other night my sleep was troubled
Un hombre parado con algo me apuntó
A man standing with something pointed at me
Encendí la luz cuando vi que ere un ladrón
I turned on the light when I saw that he was a thief
Cuando me miró, yo temblando lo miré
When he looked at me, I trembled and looked at him.
Cuando se acercó, yo sin habla me quedé
When he approached, I speechlessly stayed
Salga de la cama enseguida me ordenó
Get out of bed right away ordered me
Yo lo obedecí y verán lo que pasó
I obeyed him and you will see what happened.
¿Qué es lo que pasó? Que se desmayó
What happened? That he fainted
Ven, ven, ven, ladronzuelo ven
Come, come, come, petty thief come
Ay, pero ven y ven y ven a robarme a mí
Alas, but come and come and come steal from me
Ay, pero ven, ven, ven, ven, ven, ladronzuelo ven
Oh, but come, come, come, come, come, come, petty thief come
Ay, pero ven y ven y ven a robarme a mí
Alas, but come and come and come steal from me
Cuando me miró, yo temblando lo miré
When he looked at me, I trembled and looked at him.
Cuando se acercó, yo sin habla me quedé
When he approached, I speechlessly stayed
Salga de la cama enseguida me ordenó
Get out of bed right away ordered me
Yo lo obedecí y verán lo que pasó
I obeyed him and you will see what happened.
¿Qué es lo que pasó? Que se desmayó
What happened? That he fainted
Ven, ven, ven, ladronzuelo ven
Come, come, come, petty thief come
Ay, pero ven y ven y ven a robarme a mí
Alas, but come and come and come steal from me
Ay, pero ven, ven, ven, ven, ven, ladronzuelo ven
Oh, but come, come, come, come, come, come, petty thief come
Ay, pero ven y ven y ven a robarme a mí
Alas, but come and come and come steal from me
Ven, ven, ven, ladronzuelo ven
Come, come, come, petty thief come
Ay, pero ven y ven y ven a robarme a mí
Alas, but come and come and come steal from me
Ay, pero ven, ven, ven, ven, ven, ladronzuelo ven
