La Parca Lyrics in English by Los Dos Carnales, Gerardo Ortiz
La Parca literally translates to "the grim reaper" or "death personified." It's a striking and somewhat ominous word that immediately grabs attention, making it memorable and unique.
In the song, the lyrics state, "Porque en un ratito te lleva la parca" (Because in a little while, the grim reaper takes you away). This phrase serves as a stark reminder of life's fleeting nature, urging listeners to enjoy life to the fullest. Its dramatic imagery and philosophical undertone make it an enticing word for learners.
Get ready to ride into the ranch life with Los Dos Carnales and Gerardo Ortiz in "La Parca"! This song is all about living life to the fullest, appreciating what you have, and being ready for anything. Our singer is chilling "allá entre las brechas la paso calmado" [there among the trails I spend it calmly] with his trusty 38 and a "cuerno pausado" [slowed horn], always prepared for whatever comes his way. He's got a good head on his shoulders, saying "Conozco de todo tengo buena charla" [I know everything, I have good conversation], and he knows how to enjoy himself, whether it's the pleasures of work or just taking a break.
But there's a serious side too! He reminds us that "Vida solo hay una y hay que disfrutarla / Porque en un ratito te lleva la parca" [Life is only one and you have to enjoy it / Because in a little while the grim reaper takes you away]. Despite this, he's not one to get down, declaring "Yo no soy de los que se apachurran" [I'm not one of those who gets squashed]. Family is everything to him, and he's grateful for each new day, thanks to "el de arriba" [the one above]. He's a loyal friend, "Fino con los finos cuento con amigos" [Fine with the fine ones, I count on friends], but don't cross him, because "por las malas mi súper despierta" [for the bad ones my super wakes up]. It's a song about living in the present, remembering those who are gone, and always being there for your loved ones.
