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 handshake greeting, even though his hands are tired
Trabajar se le hizo vicio
Working became his vice
Albañil su buen oficio
Masonry his good trade
Y muy duras sé que fueron sus jornadas
And I know his days were very hard
Ahí te va, querido abuelo, tu canción
Here it goes, dear grandfather, your song
Ahorita que estás presente soy el más afortunado
Now that you're here, I'm the luckiest
Tu mirada amor refleja
Your loving gaze reflects
Uste- dijo: 'Pare oreja
You said: 'Listen up
Y en la vida siempre póngase abusado'
And always be careful in life'
¿Y qué tiene si a la pista de algodón
So what if you took me to the cotton field
Me llevabas?, para mí era una emoción
For me, it was an excitement
Y ojalá me hubiera quedado morrillo
And I wish I had stayed a kid
Para mirarte tararear una canción y verte pegando ladrillo
To see you humming a song and laying bricks
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 caught my foot with your bicycle
Y saltar arriba de tu gran barriga
And jumping on your big belly
Y escuchar de ti bastantes historietas
And hearing many stories from you
El viejón que me cargaba entre sus brazos
The old man who carried me in his arms
Él no tiene competencia
He has no competition
¡Ay-ay!, elevado el Chencho Mancha
Ay-ay! Chencho Mancha elevated
Aquí están sus nieto', viejito
Here are your grandchildren, old man
Nomás los que sembró, mi señor
Only the ones you sowed, my lord
¡Puro Dos Carnales!
Pure Dos Carnales!
Abuelo, no te preocupes, por favor
Grandfather, don't worry, please
Mi abuelita está contenta porque pudo ser tu esposa
My grandmother is happy because she could be your wife
Unas hijas muy hermosas fue su fruto cosechado
Beautiful daughters were her harvested fruit
Y mi tío que mi respeto se ha ganado
And my uncle, who has earned my respect
De bota y sombrero, yo te quiero ver
With boots and a hat, I want to see you
Presumiéndole a tus nietos, a todo el que se te arrima
Showing off to your grandchildren, to everyone who comes near you
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
So what if you took me to the cotton field
Me llevabas?, para mí era una emoción
For me, it was an excitement
Y ojalá me hubiera quedado morrillo
And I wish I had stayed a kid
Para mirarte tararear una canción y verte pegando ladrillo
To see you humming a song and laying bricks
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 caught my foot with your bicycle
Y saltar arriba de tu gran barriga
And jumping on your big belly
Y escuchar de ti bastantes historietas
And hearing many stories from you
El viejón que me cargaba entre sus brazos
The old man who carried me in his arms
Él no tiene competencia
He has no competition
