Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Te Va A Gustar by Los Palmeras from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Cuenta la leyenda, que en un pueblo de acá cerca
Legend has it that in a town near here
No vivían preocupados
they did not live worried
Pero un poco acostumbrados a estar bien
But a little used to being fine
Allá no sobraba nada
There was nothing left over there
Pero a nadie le faltaba
But no one was missing
Se olvidaron del pasado
they forgot about the past
Y de a poco se empezaron a quejar
And little by little they began to complain
Y llegaron los villanos
And the villains arrived
De los feos, de los malos
Of the ugly, of the bad
Que venían del desierto y encontraron todo abierto
Who came from the desert and found everything open
Entraron cien
a hundred entered
Entraron cien
a hundred entered
Al principio persuasivos
At first persuasive
Con un pueblo un poco unido
With a town a little united
Y en una segunda fase
And in a second phase
Se quitaron los disfraces, y a correr
They took off their costumes, and to run
De no creer, otra vez correr
Not to believe, run again
¿Como puede ser?
How can it be?
No lo entiendo
I don't understand
Todo otra vez
all over again
Salí de la ruina para volver
I left the ruin to return
Quién no sabe lo que tiene, no valora si lo pierde
Who does not know what he has, does not appreciate if he loses it
No fue todo repentino
It wasn't all sudden
Empezó a escasear el vino y luego el pan
The wine began to be scarce and then the bread
Faltaba el pan
the bread was missing
Pero el pueblo empezó a andarse
But the people began to walk
Y de a poco a organizarse
And little by little to organize
Para echar a los tiranos
to drive out the tyrants
Y volver a ser hermanos
And be brothers again
Sin tenerle miedo a nada, los sacaron a patadas a los cien
Without being afraid of anything, they kicked out the hundred
¿Como puede ser?
How can it be?
No lo entiendo
I don't understand
Todo otra vez
all over again
Salí de la ruina para volver
I left the ruin to return
¿Como puede ser?
How can it be?
No lo entiendo
I don't understand
Todo otra vez
all over again
Salí de la ruina para volver
I left the ruin to return
Did you know?
