Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Salamanqueando Pa' Mi by Luciano Pereyra from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Cuando me pille la muerte
When death catches me
L' hay de esperar
There is to wait
Cajoneando fuerte el bombo
Hitting the bass drum loudly
L' haigo bailar
I make you dance
Salamanca, llévate-la
Salamanca, take it
Me tope con una bruja
I ran into a witch
Y al despertar
And when you wake up
Me encontra'o con mi suegra
I meet my mother-in-law
Se va a quedar
She is going to stay
Salamanca, llévate-la
Salamanca, take it
El diablo me anda buscando
The devil is looking for me
No me encontró
He didn't find me
Parece que yo le debo
It seems that I owe him
Un alma o dos
A soul or two
Salamanca, llévate-lo
Salamanca, take it
Mi chacarerita es doble
My chacarerita is double
Es la sin sol
She is the sunless one
Machadito y por las noches
Machadito and at night
Sale mejor
She comes out better
Salamanquero soy señor
Salamanquero I am sir
Mi mujer se me ha ido
My wife is gone
Y al despertar
And when you wake up
Yo me la encontré gritando
I found her screaming
Salamanca, llévate-la
Salamanca, take it
Es agarrao el pulpero
The grocer is caught
Después de los veinte vinos
After the twenty wines
No más le fió
She no longer trusted him
Salamanca, llévate-lo
Salamanca, take it
Me han roba'o un gallo flaco
They stole a skinny rooster from me
Y sin espolón
And without a spur
Ni para riña, ni puchero
Neither for a fight nor a pout
¡Pobre ladrón!
Poor thief!
Salamanca, llévate-lo
Salamanca, take it
Mi chacarerita es doble
My chacarerita is double
Es La sin sol
She is The Sunless
Machadito y por las noches
Machadito and at night
Sale mejor
She comes out better
Salamanquero soy señor
Salamanquero I am sir
