El Abuelo Lyrics in English Los Dos Carnales
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Abuelo by Los Dos Carnales from Spanish to English.
Con un beso me recibe el señorón
With a kiss the big man welcomes me
Un saludo de apretón, aunque tiene manos cansadas
A firm handshake greeting, even though he's got tired hands
Trabajar se le hizo vicio
Work turned into his vice
Albañil su buen oficio
Bricklayer, his good trade
Y muy duras sé que fueron sus jornadas
And I'm sure his shifts were really tough
Ahí te va, querido abuelo, tu canción
Here you go, dear grandpa, your song
Ahorita que estás presente soy el más afortunado
Right now that you're here I'm the luckiest
Tu mirada amor refleja
Your look reflects love
Uste- dijo: 'Pare oreja
You said: "Prick your ears up
Y en la vida siempre póngase abusado'
And in life always stay alert"
¿Y qué tiene si a la pista de algodón
And what's wrong if to the cotton dancefloor
Me llevabas?, para mí era una emoción
You took me? It was a thrill for me
Y ojalá me hubiera quedado morrillo
And I wish I had stayed a little kid
Pa' mirarte tararear una canción y verte pegando ladrillo
To watch you hum a song and see you laying brick
Ser tu nieto es la aventura más perfecta
Being your grandson is the most perfect adventure
Aunque a veces me agarraras el pie con tu bicicleta
Even though sometimes you'd catch my foot with your bike
Y saltar arriba de tu gran barriga
And jump on top of your big belly
Y escuchar de ti bastantes historietas
And hear lots of little stories from you
El viejón que me cargaba entre sus brazos
The old man who carried me in his arms
Él no tiene competencia
Nobody matches him
¡Ay-ay!, elevado el Chencho Mancha
Ay-ay!, Chencho Mancha riding high
Aquí están sus nieto', viejito
Here are your grandkids, old man
Nomás los que sembró, mi señor
Only the ones you planted, my sir
¡Puro Dos Carnales!
Pure Dos Carnales!
Abuelo, no te preocupes, por favor
Grandpa, please don't worry
Mi abuelita está contenta porque pudo ser tu esposa
Grandma's happy because she got to be your wife
Unas hijas muy hermosas fue su fruto cosechado
Some very beautiful daughters were her harvested fruit
Y mi tío que mi respeto se ha ganado
And my uncle who's earned my respect
De bota y sombrero, yo te quiero ver
In boots and hat, that's how I want to see you
Presumiéndole a tus nietos, a todo el que se te arrima
Bragging about your grandkids to everyone who comes close
Ya la gente se imagina lo que canto y lo que digo
People already imagine what I sing and what I say
Abuelito, siempre quédate conmigo
Grandpa, always stay with me
¿Y qué tiene si a la pista de algodón
And what's wrong if to the cotton dancefloor
Me llevabas?, para mí era una emoción
You took me? It was a thrill for me
Y ojalá me hubiera quedado morrillo
And I wish I had stayed a little kid
Pa' mirarte tararear una canción y verte pegando ladrillo
To watch you hum a song and see you laying brick
Ser tu nieto es la aventura más perfecta
Being your grandson is the most perfect adventure
Aunque a veces me agarraras el pie con tu bicicleta
Even though sometimes you'd catch my foot with your bike
Y saltar arriba de tu gran barriga
And jump on top of your big belly
Y escuchar de ti bastantes historietas
And hear lots of little stories from you
El viejón que me cargaba entre sus brazos
The old man who carried me in his arms
Él no tiene competencia
Nobody matches him
