These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo soy quien soy
I am who I am
Y no me parezco a nadien,
And I don't look like anyone
Me cuadra el campo,
The field suits me
Y el chifilo de sus aigres.
And the chifilo of his aigres.
Mis compañeros,
My colleagues,
Son mis buenos animales,
They are my good animals,
Chivos y mulas,
goats and mules,
Y uno que otro viejo buey.
And an occasional old ox.
Un cuervo azul,
a blue raven,
Y un cuervo color naranja,
And an orange crow
Cantaban juntos,
They sang together
Que bonita es la parranda.
How beautiful is the parranda.
Y un feo caiman,
And an ugly alligator
A un zorrillo le gritaba:
He yelled at a skunk:
Jardin de olores,
smell garden,
Ya no me heches tanto olor
Don't make me smell so much anymore
El coyote es matrero,
The coyote is a matrero
Y abusado el tejón,
And abused the badger,
Manso y noble el cordero,
Meek and noble the lamb,
Y el cochino hocicón.
And the pig snout.
El gañan es ladino,
The ganan is ladino
Y el ranchero simplón,
And the simpleton rancher,
Y el indino vaquero,
and the Indian cowboy,
Holgazan y tragón.
Lazy and gluttonous.
A veces quisiera ser,
Sometimes I would like to be
Tortuga para correr,
running turtle,
Caballo para volar,
horse to fly,
Montaña para viajar.
Mountain to travel.
Pescado pa' trabajar,
Fish to work
Chaparro para crecer,
Chaparro to grow,
Jumento pa' no cargar,
Donkey to not load,
Valiente pa' no pelear,
Brave not to fight,
Borracho pa' no tomar,
Drunk to not drink,
Y fiel como la mujer.
And faithful as the woman.
Como esto no puede ser,
Since this can't be
Me aguanto que voy a hacer.
I wait what am I going to do.
Yo soy quien soy,
I am who I am,
Y no me parezco a nairen,
And I don't look like nairen
Me cuadra el campo,
The field suits me
Y el chifilo de sus aigres.
And the chifilo of his aigres.
Mis compañeros,
My colleagues,
Son mis buenos animales,
They are my good animals,
Chivos y mulas,
goats and mules,
Y uno que otro viejo buey.
And an occasional old ox.
