Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Parto by Melendi from Spanish to English.
Ha roto aguas mi ingenio, estoy pariendo una idea
My wit's water has broken, I'm giving birth to an idea
Nervioso anda el pensamiento en la salita de espera
The thought is nervous in the waiting room
Voy a tener que doparme pa' acelerar este parto
I'm going to have to dope to speed up this birth
Mi epidural es el humo de la risa de un cigarro
My epidural is the smoke of a cigarette's laughter
La comadrona es María la cirujana es Juana
The midwife is María, the surgeon is Juana
Aunque es difícil pillarlas porque andan siempre liadas
Although it is difficult to catch them because they are always busy
Y yo soy el doctor que anda por los pasillos
And I am the doctor who walks the halls
Y aunque ellas no se den cuenta las tengo más que caladas
And although they don't realize it, I have more than a grasp on them
Y aprieta fuerte que ya asoma la cabeza
And press hard, it's already showing its head
Es una idea redonda, casi perfecta
It's a great idea, almost perfect
Y fijo que sale sana, menudas son María y Juana
And I'm sure she comes out healthy, María and Juana are tiny
Llevan asistiendo partos desde Sin Noticias de Holanda
They have been assisting births since Sin Noticias from Holland
Y en mi hospital nunca sabes si acabará la comedia
And in my hospital you never know if the comedy will end
Después de asistir a un parto brindamos con anestesia
After attending a birth we toast with anesthesia
Y en mi hospital no hay urgencias, solo a partir de las 12
And in my hospital there are no emergencies, only after 12
Después de las campanadas pa' repartir la B12
After the bells to distribute the B12
La comadrona es María la cirujana es Juana
The midwife is María, the surgeon is Juana
Aunque es difícil pillarlas porque andan siempre liadas
Although it is difficult to catch them because they are always busy
Y yo soy el doctor que anda por los pasillos
And I am the doctor who walks the halls
Y aunque ellas no se den cuenta las tengo más que caladas
And although they don't realize it, I have more than a grasp on them
Y aprieta fuerte que ya asoma la cabeza
And press hard, it's already showing its head
Es una idea redonda, casi perfecta
It's a great idea, almost perfect
Y fijo que sale sana, menudas son María y Juana
And I'm sure she comes out healthy, María and Juana are tiny
